Caribbean season is almost HERE!!!

Ready to get PAID to see the world?

I'm Emery, your favorite Yachtie Girl, and if you are trying to figure out how to join the adventurous world of yachting...you're in the right place. I hear you loud and clear – the burning question echoing across all my social media channels is..."How do I get started in yachting?"

Being a crew member on a yacht isn't just a job...it's a lifestyle.

-Sounds cool right?!

Unfortunately, getting started can be a CHALLENGE...

(RESPECT to those who fumbled their way thru!!!)

I found my way with a lot of help from a family friend. Someone who not only guided me through the certifications process but provided the experienced advice I needed to prepare for my first job and, ultimately, the adventure I live and share now! ⚓

"JOIN THE CREW" is a step-by-step guide not only for those ready to get started but also for those still figuring out if yachting is a fit for them

The Wave of Yachting Opportunities! 🌊

It is difficult to speak generally about the yachting industry as there are so many different boats, programs, owners, and travel itinerary's. Even if you aren't interested in crossing the Atlantic twice a year between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean seasons...there plenty of other options...

⚓Part time, free lance, and seasonal positions.

⚓Private "go no-where" programs that have you home for dinner every night.

⚓OR maybe, like me, you are ready to see the world on boats that might come back to their home port once a year!

⚓There are high end charter boats that cater to celebrities or specialty charters such as diving or fishing excursions.

⚓Motor Yachts, Sail Boats, Catamarans, Super Yachts...

Whether you're planning a career at sea or just looking for a fun, profitable summer job...yachting offers ALOT of choices. BUT...be aware, there is a cost to get started.

Great⚓Questions !!!

"I want to be a chief officer on a yacht, what certifications do I need?"

There are many continuing education classes for advanced crew positions on yachts. Some yacht programs will actually pay for crew member's to pursue job advancement certificates. You will also need documented sea time signed off by your captain.

"Can I start yachting outside of high school?"

Of course! Fresh out of high school or college works. Whether your plan is to build a career at sea or just a profitable part time gig...yachting offers many options.

"Are there opportunities to move up the career ladder in Yachting?"

SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES! This is a very common way to move into the next position. Many, if not most, captains began their careers on deck.

"Do you get days off to explore the location you are in?"

HAHA! People don't do this job for toilet paper folding. But seriously, yes!!! Not only are you frequently visiting exotic ports of call but it's an entirely different experience seeing these destinations by yacht.

"Do you need to know how to work all the water toys to start ?"

Absolutely not! You will have the opportunity to learn on the job. Even if it's not your job...I have had plenty of opportunities to enjoy them on a day off!

#1 Question I get on Social Media...

"How Do I Get Into Yachting?"

Hey there!👋🏼

I'm Emery, @thatyachtiegirl, and I share my travels and adventures working on yachts. One of the most common questions I get from my social media followers is, "How do I get into yachting?" I wish I could speak to everyone personally, on this as I love my job! Instead, I created two courses to break down the real questions being asked starting with do you "WANT" to work in the yachting industry?

Reality shows make the yachting industry look incredibly fun and glamorous. LOL...let's face it, so do I 😃

However, like any profession, it has its ups and downs. Yes, the travel and adventure is amazing, but it comes hand in hand with long hours and hard work.

Before you start investing your time and money into this exciting endeavor, it's important you have an accurate expectation of what this job and lifestyle really is. That's why I created the free mini-course, "Life on Deck-What to Expect" that specifically shares the insights you need to determine if yachting is a good fit for you.

Now...if your answer is "YES, yachting is my calling!" Then let's roll up our sleeves and get started finding you a job! The next chapter is

"Charting Your Course to a Career in Yachting"

Here, we will provide step by step directions to fast-track you to your first job in yachting.

In this course we will be discussing:

*The required certifications you will need to get started.

Before you can even apply...you need some basic certifications that we will review.

*Building a winning CV (Resume).

Just because your experience or job history isn't in yachting, specifically, doesn't mean you don't have skills and experience that will transfer to yachting.

*Discovering where to find job opportunities and how to apply.

As a "greenie" coming into the industry...this part can get tricky. We discuss where to look and how to decipher the job being offered.

*Crew positions to pursue starting out and ones to work towards.

I want to help you identify which position would be a fit for you. Whether you want to be on deck or part of the interior team may require some flexibility on your part as we don't always start where we think we want to work. I think this is GREAT! I started in the interior and found I was equally happy on deck...thankful I got to experience both as a new crew member!

And, most importantly, a comprehensive understanding of how to be successful as a new crew member in the yachting world.

I share my tips and tricks on how I make this job and LIFESTYLE work for me. That includes not just getting you a job but helping you fit in, to add to the program you are coming joining and how to make it work for you!

This course isn't about teaching you how to set a table or operate a tender... there are numerous department-specific training classes available through out the world, which I wholeheartedly endorse and encourage. This course is designed to fast-track your path to becoming a crew member on a yacht. The rest is up to you!

So, what are you waiting for? Let's set sail on this incredible journey together! 🌊🛥️
