    Hi,

    I'm currently working as a chef for 2 michelin star chef Michael Caines at his restaurant in exeter but am wanting to get on a boat as a chef. I know i have to get the STCW 95 and ENG1 but was wandering how easy it will be finding work with no yachting experience? I'd appreciate any help and advice anyone can offer me.

    Many thanks

    Luke

    Hi crewagency, I haven't actually done the STCW95 or got the ENG1 yet, the next course for the STCW95 available to me isn't until august so wouldn't be able to start until after then. If this is any good please PM me but if not i understand. I was wandering how many people would it be cooking for?

    Thanks

    Luke

    NO work without STCW and ENG1

    OK to answer the question.
    It is impossible to find work without StcW and ENG1 on bigger Yachts.
    The Yacht experience is not so relevant for a Head Chef on bigger Yachts even
    when this Yachts are mostly Private used. Here your behavior and relationship with the other Crew counts and the Crew food otherwise you will soon know what keelhaul means.

    But if you want to take a step on a Charter Yacht you have to show a good record and excellent references from former Captains.
