Good video. Our son took up this career, left college just before his 18th to start his first job in Greece on charter yachts, got loads of tickets then qualified as en engineer. Now at 22 he is working on a 90m super yacht currently in Palm Beach, loving it. At times I think chose the wrong career!

This was the best yachting career prep video I've ever seen. Well done Chase. 👍

OMG it's chase! I wish I would have found yachting 30 years ago when I was young and hot, I would have done this life in a heartbeat! It's fun to watch you guys talk about it and dream of how my life could have been.

I spent a summer in Antibes 10 years ago as I had friends working there (we're all Aussies) we had such a fun summer and most of the people we met were in the yachting industry. Now all of those terms they kept saying make so much more sense after your video! ha ha Great stuff, and congratulation on buying your own boat. That is amazing!

Wow, look my cousins are doing the Yachting now and getting ready to head to the Caribbean. I've studied and worked the last 4 years, and it has taken a tall on me.
I'm going to do the Yachting to now, started prepping all of the courses I need to study, where I'll be and date's etc.
Very exited for this journey, and with this video, thank you Chase. It means a lot for me, and I appreciate it.
Have a good one. XD

Back in the day I worked in the cruise industry, and it was an amazing experience. I wish I had more info about working for yach industry, it looks like a great field.

[conradlogan]

That was a great collection of info!
I did a similar path post college, , , although it was 50 years ago
Lots of changes in the industry! But much still the same (my first job on a 90’ yawl paid $200 cash a month-and I managed to save money still
The industry offers exposure to so many different avenues of life options.
Endless possibilities!

I have a question you didn't answer Chase, how old is too old to start crewing, particularly for deckies and engineers?

Hi, thank you for the great content, Please give me some advice, is the yachting industry saturated, I've heard it is not easy to get a job anymore like before. I am 40, a 40-year-old lady, Canadian, English is my second language, what do you think? Is it worth going through the training? I am afraid won't find a job. I have more of an office and sales background, not hospitality, but willing to learn. I really appreciate your response and help. Thank you so so much

[augoustgigolai]

Great video, I am currently starting my STCW and I hope I can land a job in the industry

[cassandramitten]

So I have a question, I worked on a few boats before but never a yacht, I would love the opportunity to work on one but I’m afraid the color of my skin will not get me through the door, should I be worried about that?

[markverwey]

Hey man, awesome video

I’m about to do my Yachting courses, good to have some advice before one gets started

Another question what age did you start ?

[DougVarble]

Great advice, wish I was back graduated from college🎉

[charlieteirney]

May I ask, how did you afford to buy a yacht
