Requirements:

Vessel Details:

・A 36m private motor yacht is currently seeking a Second Stewardess to join the vessel for the 2nd of September in the US! ・This is a purely private programme operating between West Palm Beach, the Bahamas, Southern Caribbean and the Hamptons, with a mixture of local day trips and longer family holidays. ・The yacht runs with 5 crew, including a two-person interior team consisting of the Chief Stewardess and Second Stewardess. The owners are an active family with children and are looking to establish a strong, long-term crew around their new yacht.
