    Hello all,

    I am looking at going to work on chartered yachts in the new year and need as much information as possible. I have lots of questions if anyone can help.

    Where is the best place to move to to try and get work?
    Should I pre book into a hotel or see how I go and how long for ?
    Do I pack a suitcase when I go or just take a bag ?
    Are there any agencies that can help me secure a job before I go abroad?
    How long will is it likely to be until I find a job?
    How do I go about handing out my CV's?
    Is there man bars or jobs to get broad in the mean time to keep money coming in ?
    How much money am I likely to need to save to start off for flights and accommodation ?
    What's the difference between chartered and private yachts?
    Do I need travel insurance when on the yachts?
    What happens if I need a doctor out there?
    Will I have to pay for anything on the yacht or is it all included?

    I know theres a lot there but if anyone can help with any info that would be great !

    Thanks
