About the Book

An insider’s guide to the superyacht industry, detailing how to get in, progress through the ranks and thrive on the journey. I have made a life’s career within the superyacht community, and in Superyacht Success I share this openly. This is for readers who want to start or continue a career in the superyacht industry, as well as for those who want an insight into the most amazing workplace. Superyacht Success is an audience with one of the most experienced superyacht captains in the business, and gives you the insider’s take on the culture of the industry, how to get hired and how to thrive as you progress through the ranks – handling the demand for absolute perfection at all times, yet avoiding the easy trap of allowing yachting to become your life. - Section 1 provides an overview of the industry and its history. - Section 2 examines getting hired (detailing useful qualifications and experience, and advice on agencies and interviews), embracing being new, understanding life on board, and typical career pathways. - Section 3 covers questions of leadership: establishing a culture of openness and trust, setting boundaries, dealing with the demands of perfectionism. - Section 4 dives into questions of captaincy: communication and crafting a superyacht life well lived. -Section 5 comprises of an invaluable toolbox of advice and techniques for crew at all levels from boat handling to briefing teams. -Chapters also feature ’10 Dos and Don’ts’ boxes, as well as insights from other high-profile professionals within the industry. This is the definitive insider’s guide to the normally shielded world of Superyachts, and clearly sets out what crew need to know to progress and succeed.
