After looking through Jess's content and all the useful tips she was sharing, I knew the guide would be really detailed! AND IT WAS. It gave me the push I needed and was a great first investment into my yachting career. I got offered a job just 4 days after my first application! Super grateful to have The Yachting Kickstarter as my go-to guide.

Would 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to get into the industry. From the checklists to the info you don't know, Jess has so much fantastic content and really goes out of her way to help.
It’s such a relief to instantly find all the advice you need all in one place - can’t emphasise enough how helpful her stuff is!
"I got the dream job the day after completing my STCW course because I had been following Jess's guide.

The Yachting Kickstarter is amazing for anyone wanting to get into the yachting industry. It has individual tips that only experience can provide. My favorite part was the PDF with all the crew agencies, it was one of those agencies which led me to my first job!

I had done my research but this course really opened my eyes to things that hadn't even crossed my mind. Such great advice around dock walking and day work, interview guidance, what to do and what not to do onboard and even guidance on laundry/housekeeping and general stew advice- which is so useful for green crew! Thanks Jess for taking the time to make this course and sharing all your advice. This course has been so helpful and I really feel like i'm ready to start my yachting adventure with the help of the amazing checklists!

I’ve helped over 100+ aspiring yachties land their first jobs within just a few weeks of ticking off their courses! Let me show you how I can help you too...
Hey, I'm Jess.
I’m a chief stewardess with over 6 years experience working in the superyacht industry.
Meet your teacher
I’ve been in your shoes before… wondering if I should try my luck in yachting, looking up all those dreamy destinations yacht crew seem to be at everyday! #yachtlife
Get paid (good money!) to travel the world whilst working on superyachts
Secure a job with no experience and work your way up to chief stew
Set yourself up financially with the expense free lifestyle that yachting offers
Have a whole new group of friends based all around the world
I said yes to the adventure, took a risk and now I'm proof you can....
Before you know it you'll be travelling by boat to places you didn't even know existed, serving the rich and famous.
No more wasting time now we have a clear get onboard strategy in place. When we don’t have a strategy, we are not going anywhere fast. The 5 steps of the Get Onboard strategy helps you filter exactly what you need to focus on. Imagine having more clarity, knowing what you need to do to actually break into the yachting industry minus the overwhelm.
Less stress & more direction.
Imagine if you could confidently break into the industry?
And now it's your turn!
Aspiring yacht crew- that's you! For the soon to be STEWS & DECKHANDS
Cheeky risk taker (I mean aren't we all?!) You risk heartbreak for love and risk failing to take big steps and find success.
You're prepared to do the ground work hint hint... Dock Walking is key to success.
For those ready to make a plan and turn their yachting dream into a reality:
Yacht Stews & deckhands
You're not prepared to take action...
this course is not for the fence sitters
You are trying to become a yachting engineer. The pathway to doing so is different to that of a junior stew, deck or chef.
This course is not for you if:
Not if you are purchasing only the Yachting Kickstarter course, if you are wanting a full CV review I recommend purchasing the 'bundle buy' option which includes The Yachting CV toolkit.
Can I send my CV to you to check if I buy the Kickstarter course?
3
Yes absolutely! I offer email support to help you and will check in with you to see how you're going once you're in the yachting hubs and on the quest for a job. I also answer any questions you have along the way.
Do you provide support after the course?

COVID has not affected the billionaires of the world who own and charter yachts. Yachting hasn’t been as heavily affected as say the hospitality industry or cruise ship. Yachting will carry on, boats always need crew.
Can I still get a job in yachting despite COVID?
1
I bet you're wondering....
your questions answered
As mentioned previously this course is not for the fence sitters, its specifically for the action takers and due to the nature of the digital product, refunds are not available.
Can I get a refund on the course if it's not for me?
6
This course does not guarantee you a job, it simply gives you the best possible chance at securing a job in the competitive yachting industry.
Does the Yachting Kickstarter guarantee me a job?
5
Yes, depending on your skill set you can always do interior courses in order to upskill and get you up to speed on what is required for the yachting industry.
Can I get a job with no hospitality or hotel experience?
