Working on yachts and superyachts - Jennifer Errico

This book is not a training manual for safety at sea, it is not a "how to" book on sailing. It doesn't tell you about navigation, what knots to tie, rules of the road, weather, burgees and the rest. This book does give a comprehensive look at the luxury yacht industry from the perspective of working on board. Not only does it discuss what the industry is exactly, but how it works. What qualifications and/or paperwork are required for crew, what jobs are available and where, when and how to find them. It will outline the salaries you can expect. It will also give you a real insight into what living aboard is really like. There are stories of those already working in yachting giving up-to-date and sound advice. The book gives anyone with a taste of wonderlust what it is really like to live and work in one of the most exclusive, jet-set industries on earth.
