Overview

The Steward or Stewardess is on the frontline when it comes to delivering outstanding service to guests and owners. Having a full understanding of your role and the confidence in delivering that unique experience onboard requires special skills and a lot of practice.

This course is suitable if you already hold your STCW Basic Safety Training qualification and are looking for some additional knowledge and training on the role of a Steward or Stewardess, such as you would receive on our Superyacht Stewardess course.

Course programme

At Flying Fish, you will get that practical experience and confidence you need to work as a Steward or Stewardess from one of our industry experts who will teach you all you need to know about the interior in just one week.

Working on-board a luxury yacht requires attention to detail and being able to work as part of a small team or on your own. As a Steward or Stewardess, you will gain a specific set of skills that interior crew will learn to perfect to a very high standard.

This five-day Interior Course is part of our two-week Superyacht Stewardess Course. You will learn everything about life on-board, silver service, how to make good coffee, and flower arranging. Please see below for the full itinerary.

To work on-board a large yacht you are required to hold your STCW qualifications. If you don’t already have your STCW Basic Safety Training certificates, then consider joining our Superyacht Stewardess Course.

Where to stay

If you choose our accommodation option, the Flying Fish crew houses in Cowes are comfortable and centrally located. Just a 2-minute walk to the town and our training centre.

You will be able to mix and socialise with other people on the course who, like you, will be starting a career in the Superyacht industry.
