What helps you get hired
STCW Basic Safety Training and a valid seafarer medical (such as the ENG1) are the usual starting points. A clear profile with your sea time, languages, references and a short introduction makes the difference — and on Maritime Delivery your documents are checked by our team, so owners can trust them.
Questions
Do I need experience for my first yacht job?+
Not always. Entry-level deckhand and stew positions exist, but you will need STCW Basic Safety Training and a seafarer medical for most of them.
