    Hi,

    I've been thinking for some time on what it would be like to work aboard a superyacht. I've got 10 years sea going experience behind me as a deck officer and I have cruise ship experience. I have also recently been sailing as 1st Officer aboard fast passenger ferries. I hold a UK STCW'95 Chief Officer II/2 cert of competency and was wondering what the likelihood would be for finding a deck officers job aboard a superyacht.

    This is not a request for a job (at the moment) but merely a request for advice from those that are experienced in the industry and those that have made the transition from commercial shipping to yachts. What difficulties am I likely to face for instance? I was considering heading to Antibes in June. Will it be relatively straightforward to find a job around that time as I would ideally like to work from June till mid September in the med?

    Many thanks to all that respond.
