An extension to your Powerboat level II (PB2), adding an additional two days dedicated to the Tender Operator’s course will produce an excellent, skilled and confident powerboat handler who is confident in night op’s, navigation and advanced docking manoeuvres.

Note: You must already hold a ​RYA PB Level II ​certificate as well as ​VHF​ before you can complete this course.

Cape Town could not be a better training ground for this course with its city and Monaco-like setting and large city backscatter to get your navigation nice and strong. We also simulate

chartwork and familiarisation scenarios for Cannes-Antibes-Nice, Palma de Mallorca and Miami-Fort Lauderdale. A favourite between our senior/experienced instructors to teach and impart knowledge​.

For yachting courses cape town prices, please contact us .

What does a Yacht Stewardess do?

The  stewardess  on board a  superyacht  is a diligent worker with a positive, can-do attitude that takes instruction well and pays impeccable attention to detail.

A stewardess maintains the interior of a superyacht and provides five-star service to its owners and guests. On charter or owner trips, the interior team manages beverage and meal service, housekeeping, and laundry, all with the most pristine detail.

Your duties may include cabin preparation, setting tables, arranging flowers, and cleaning all areas of the yacht’s interior. You will help the deck team moor (park) the yacht sometimes.

While the job entails a high level of enthusiasm and long hours, a stewardess is rewarded with the opportunity to see the world, make friends, and learn valuable life skills. 

What does a Superyacht Stewardess earn?

On average, a junior yacht stewardess can expect to earn between € 2950 and € 3 440 per month, depending on the size of the vessel they are working on. This could be someone who has never worked as a stewardess before or has spent a short time in the role.

As you gain more experience on a larger yacht, this may mean a promotion to second stew, sharing some responsibilities with the chief stewardess – earnings can increase to an average of between € 3440 – € 5420 per month. Again, your yacht stewardess’s salary at this level depends on the size of the yacht, your training, and your certification.

In the senior role of the chief stewardess, the salary is between € 4910 to € 8850 + per month, with the job requiring by far the most responsibilities of the interior team.

The typical yacht stewardess’s salary varies from yacht to yacht. However, these estimates provide a rough idea of how you can progress.

What does the Stewardess Course Entail?

Ocean Star  Sailing Academy  provides you with what is considered within the industry to be the minimum training and certification needed to find work as a stewardess.

Industry professionals with several years of experience instruct our students. Included in the stewardess course are wine appreciation and cocktails, flower arrangements, silver service (as well as a silver service lunch/dinner where you demonstrate your newly learned skills), industry and visa knowledge, laundry services, detailing the interior of the yacht, constructing a CV specific to the industry and an introduction to barista training.

Seven-Star service is expected, and we work to ensure our students are fully prepared before starting their new careers.

More importantly, we are industry leaders in preparing our students for the challenge of finding work.

Give yourself the edge by completing the  Stewardess Career Course.

The twenty-day Stewardess Career course starts with five days of Intensive Stewardess Training.

This training provides knowledge and practical skills such as food and wine pairing, silver service, detailing housekeeping, and flower arranging.

During the five-day portion of the course, you will get assistance with the interviewing process, creating a CV, and day work references.

This is followed by the  STCW  (Standards of Training for Crew and Watch), where students learn basic first aid, fire-fighting, life-raft training, and safety awareness.

Courses include:

  • Stewardess IYT Internationally Recognized Course  5 days
  • RYA Powerboat Level 2 
  • SRC/VHF Radio 
  • STCW10  (Mandatory)

Megan and Cieara created Super Yachting Nautical Careers (SYNC) in Cape Town after having spent 12 YEARS between them working on super yachts.

Having both climbed the ranks quickly and worked as Chief Stewardesses on-board multiple super yachts, with high profile guests and celebrities, they know what it takes to become a Superyacht Stewardess in every sense of the word.

Cieara joined the Superyacht industry at age 20. With a passion for travel, the ocean, sailing, nutrition, health and adventure, Cieara didn’t hesitate to jump on board the Superyacht industry. Her service and culinary background made it easy for her to move between departments working on beautiful motor and sailing yachts around the world.

Her enthusiastic, friendly and hard-working nature helped her quickly climb the ropes to Head of Service, Chief Stewardess and later as Chef on pristine and luxury yachts where she became a valuable and versatile crew member.

With a drive to become a well rounded crew member, and motivated to grow and explore, Cieara has worked for 8+ years on both Motor and Sail yachts ranging from 30 – 110 meters.

Having recently returned home to Cape Town, she is excited to share her vast knowledge of the industry with aspiring stewardesses and help them to launch their careers with confidence, clarity and skill.

sync-training-team-cieara

After graduating with a degree in Psychology and English, Megan knew that she had to follow her life-long dream of venturing overseas to explore the world. Being a lover of people, travel and adventure, when she heard about the superyacht industry she knew it was the perfect job. Megan received her first Junior Stewardess job on board a heavy charter boat. Working for high profile guests, with busy turnaround times, laid the groundwork in her training and helped her quickly move up the ranks to Second Stewardess on a 62m yacht and then to Chief Stewardess on a 67m yacht.

Megan’s passion for the ocean has lured her back onto the yachts. Right now, she could be sipping Sangria in the South of Spain or swimming with whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez.
