Aspiring Stewardess - Jess C (Sept 2026)
The Stewardess Handbook
Thank you so much! This handbook has really helped me prepare myself and given me the confidence to pursue my dreams in the yachting industry. I truly felt stuck and did not know where to start, and thankfully fell across your post. It’s given me so much information on what to expect, how to prepare myself and general knowledge on what life is like on a day-to-day basis. Thank you so much for creating this handbook; I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in joining the industry.
Deckhand - Sam Hodgkinson (July 2026)
1-Hour Career Strategy Session
“James was extremely helpful, and I would recommend his mentorship services. After a transparent and insightful Free Career Strategy Call on June 4th, he was able to determine what parts of my application process needed work and created a structured plan on how to improve. I then proceeded with the 1-hour Career Strategy Session the following day, focusing primarily on my CV, followed by ongoing support until landing my first job on an 80m at the end of July.”
Deckhand - Freya Walker (April 2026)
Free 30-minute career strategy call followed by additional advice
James took a genuine interest in my journey in looking for my first job. He couldn’t have done more to help! He streamlined the process for me massively and I am forever grateful. I highly recommend him
Stewardess - Claudia Willis (May 2025)
Took advantage of the initial free advice
“I got a job two days after arriving in France, thanks to James’s guidance to relocate from the UK to Antibes. I wouldn’t have made that move without his advice. I’m now working on a 70m+ yacht and loving it!!”

Chief Engineer - Jose Teira (2019-2026)
“James has been one of the most influential mentors in my career. We first worked together in 2019 and then again in 2023. His advice combines professionalism, calm decision-making, and a genuine investment in the crew he is helping! I am sure that he will be a very successful mentor in his new role at The Crew CAP.
Chief Officer - Charlie Robinson (2016-2026)
“James has a rare ability to break down complex aspects of yachting into clear, practical guidance. His mentorship when I was a deckhand shaped my technical ability and later my leadership approach as I progressed from Bosun to Chief Officer.
