Luxury Yacht Stewardess
"I could tell you who I worked for, but I (or they) would have to kill you" ;-)
(Hospitality industry)
November 1998 — May 2001 (2 years 7 months)
Managed the interior of several different privately-owned and chartered luxury mega yachts--similar to “five-star hotels/palaces on water”--hosting $25,000+/day charters for celebrities and dignitaries. Responsibilities included guest and crew provisioning, taking full accountability for interior cleanliness, meal presentation (Silver Service), stock management and budgeting, theme night planning and decorating, arranging guest excursions ashore, assisting in docking maneuvers, and supervising three other stewardesses. On one particluar yacht, I also served as the Purser (Captain’s office assistant) and handled the yacht's accounting, communications, ordering, and broker relations.
OH YEAH, and I wrote a book about the experience. ;-) Visit www.WorkOnAYacht.com to buy it (even if you aren't interested in working on yachts, I can assure you it's a fascinating and entertaining read...and it makes a great gift!). -
