Reader Story: How Arielle found a job working on a yacht
but if teaching is not your thing, there are many other jobs to choose from. One of these jobs is a boat and sail around the world crewing (two of my friends have done this). Today's reader story of Arielle and how to implement a job on a yacht to her dream to see the world (keyword Little Mermaid References)
Nomadic Matt found. Tell everyone about yourself.
Arielle: I live and work on board a 40-meter-long private yacht. I left my home in Maryland after by the university in 2010 financial statements and went to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, a job on yachts to fulfill get my desire for travel. water travel is also a passion of mine (not surprisingly) and landlocked countries freak me out. I think I thank you for that a father in the navy with. Unlike many Navy brats, I was fortunate to be able to usually grow in one place; However, we have a couple in Italy years ago, when I was younger, and that probably helped my love of international travel.
What inspired you the world want to see the boat?
I always wanted to travel, and another cog in the corporate machine after school always just not seemed right. I have my wanderlust from my parents who traveled extensively definitely both. An older friend of mine for years in the yachting industry and look at his photos and Facebook posts are me always so envious. What choose me to follow in his footsteps special, though, was the ability to make money and save time when working and traveling on boats. My parents worked tirelessly a sense of financial responsibility in my brother and me to convey, so depleting agent was doing something I was not feeling well. I am a very "live the moment" person, but I always have the future in mind.
Do you feel at all overwhelmed during the planning process? If so, how did you do about it?
I think with any major change like this, it is perfectly normal to be overwhelmed to go through a time, but I felt too excited, anxious, sad and anxious, sometimes all at once. It helped that I have an amazing support system at home, which has always encouraged and supported me. In my crazy endeavors save Focusing on money also kept me busy. I also had a friend who had already been in sailing for a few years and there has been an invaluable resource and definitely put me on the right track. Because I would have been lost without his insight, I am enthusiastic and open to help again, anyone who has questions about entry into this type of work.
Where did you go on your trip?
It started in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the to look for a large yacht hub and a great place to work. On the ship, we have to Western Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, British Columbia, and Alaska, and we currently have already made some repairs hopping around the Pacific Northwest with.
I worked at two restaurants as a waiter and as a nanny was working during the day. It was definitely exhausting, but I was able to save a few thousand dollars more than 3-4 months. Now I am working on a yacht, and that pays for my adventures.
you are working on a yacht to fund your travels? What is it like?
I live and work on board a private yacht as a nanny of the captain's son. We have a small team for the size of our ship, so that we are actually all kinds of bad luck in all areas, as a private yacht is nursing a lot of work. There are only five of us (next to the child) and we are very close. On the financial side, it's great. Because I live on the boat, I have no cost of living low, so most everything I do I can save (plus I know I have a cottage somewhere we go)! I also get places from an interesting perspective to see how we sail past coasts, and the ports are often in great locations in city centers.
Is it hard to find one of these jobs? Do you need advice?
It's probably thinking "hard" in the sense that people would not look in this industry. People forget that it all takes crews yachts to operate and maintain, so that the life per se is not just for the rich and famous. I would say, if you know where to look, however, and how it would always be certified to go, it still takes a little perseverance and ambition to score a job. It seems to me that when the economy struggles, more people are looking to alternative work, and it has become a huge influx of potential "yachties" in this somewhat limited job been left. Most people will have no sailing experience, so experience in the hotel sector is usually a big plus (especially for Steward). However, all potential yacht crew are required to obtain an STCW '95 certificate that includes all the basic yacht training, including fire and water safety training. As long as you motivated a professional appearance and are diligent and radiation, you should be able to eventually find a job working on a yacht. (Matt says :. Some good job websites are jobs on yachts, All Yacht Jobs, and crew 4 crew)
to switch boats often?
I've been in the last two years on the same boat as I was lucky enough to find one with a team that I that had along with and you really a great distance. It is not uncommon for other yachties from season to season to go, but. However, longevity in a particular job usually looks better on your resume.
How much time to get you in every port?
One thing you learn quickly to work on yachts is that a week can turn to two or three months! That being said, we spend most of the ports a few months, with occasional hopping to within a particular region here and there. For example, we spent a whole summer in Bali, but this summer in Alaska, we spent a few days a couple of weeks at each port in the southeast. There really is no "normal" in sailing.
What advice would you do for the people who are trying, what you have done?
Make sure that you are mentally prepared to spend 24/7 with your staff and live where you work. There is no escape from the job, so if you do not think you have the personality to deal with it, it might not be for you. His clean-cut or shaved and minimal are up no tattoos or piercings a big advantage, because many employers are those who do not rent with visible tattoos or piercings. Other than that, only motivated and relentless you are a foot in the industry.
How long do you do that? What's next?
This job started by a year as an obligation, but I am now going to my third year, which is proof of how much I enjoyed it. I think I have more than a year had in me, before it's time to start a new adventure. My dream was always studying my French in La Sorbonne in Paris and to perfect so that will probably be my next step. I travel to Europe and dying and that to explore a part of the world.
