Welcome to Superyacht UK Careers
A superyacht is, by definition, any yacht over 24 metres (79
feet) in length – that’s about the length of a tennis court. There
are many hundreds of superyachts sailing the seas and oceans today
– they can be motor or sail, and they employ thousands of crew
members from around the world. The largest superyacht in the world
at the moment is 164 metres (538 feet) in length – that’s larger
than a Royal Navy Destroyer! However, the average length of
superyachts today is around 45 metres (148 feet).
Owning or chartering one of these multi-million-pound
superyachts is the domain of the rich and famous, but behind the
glamorous, glossy façade, there is a whole team of workers keeping
everything ship-shape. The number of superyachts being built is
increasing each year, and there is now a shortage of skilled
workers to crew them. Working on a superyacht is certainly not a
holiday, but the rewards can be generous and it’s a great way to
see the world in style.
These pages will help you to find out all you need to know about
