90m+ Private Motor Yacht

Wilsonhalligan are recruiting an exceptional Massage Therapist / Personal Trainer to join a prestigious private superyacht programme, working closely with the yacht's Owner.

This is a unique opportunity for a highly skilled professional to provide personalised massage, recovery and fitness support in an exclusive private environment, both onboard and while accompanying the Owners internationally.

The successful candidate will spend considerable time travelling between the UK, Switzerland and the yacht, as well as other international destinations depending on the Owners' schedule.

We are looking for someone truly exceptional in their field, with outstanding massage skills, a strong understanding of physical fitness and recovery, and the professionalism and discretion required when working closely with UHNW individuals.

The Role

Massage therapy will be the primary focus of this position, alongside providing personalised fitness support and helping the Owners maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering exceptional sports, deep tissue and relaxation massage treatments.
  • Providing tailored recovery, mobility and stretching sessions.
  • Supporting personalised fitness programmes and physical training.
  • Assisting with fitness and sporting activities, including tennis, padel, golf, skiing and watersports.
  • Managing massage, fitness and recovery equipment across the yacht and private residences.
  • Travelling internationally with the Owners and adapting to their changing schedules.
  • Working closely with the Captain, Family Office and other private staff.
  • Being willing to assist with general yacht duties when onboard, where required.

Candidate Requirements

  • Experience working with elite athletes, professional sports teams, UHNW clients or in high-performance environments would be particularly interesting.
  • Exceptional professionalism, discretion and attention to detail.
  • Flexible, adaptable and comfortable with extensive international travel.
  • Fluent English essential; French would be an advantage.
  • Willingness to integrate into a professional yacht crew environment.

Previous yachting experience is not essential. We are equally interested in hearing from exceptional candidates working within elite sports, professional athletics, private wellness or luxury hospitality.

Candidates with experience supporting professional athletes, including those working in high-performance environments such as Formula 1, would be particularly interesting.

STCW certification is not essential at the application stage, as training can be arranged for the right candidate.
