MCA Certified Recruitment and Placement Agency I have worked in superyacht recruitment for the last 8 years. It was a transition for me having worked on various yachts for the previous 10 years, hence I know exactly how the dynamics of the industry work. I will use all of my knowledge and passion to ensure that you get the right position, or find the right crew member. Having been introduced to the superyacht industry over 16 years ago, I've never looked back. Following initial experience in exclusive bars and restaurants in London and Birmingham, I decided to move to Antibes in the South of France. After arriving in France I gained my first steward position on board a 65m private yacht. After much determination and hard work, coupled with learning from the very best in the business, I secured the position of Chief Steward. I have been fortunate to work onboard some of the most exclusive super yachts in the industry and have a wealth of knowledge invaluable to your recruitment needs. By choosing RCR you can be assured that I will give 110% commitment to find you your next career move or match the perfect candidate to your team. Look forward to hearing from you.

I was introduced into yachting at the end of 2012 through a casual conversation with friends, I was fed up with the same four office walls, contemplating what on earth I was doing with my life. I had no idea the super yacht industry even existed if truth be told. After a quick debrief I took the opportunity to complete my STCW95 and jump on the band wagon. I was as green as they come, all the gear and no idea...literally! I had 10 years hospitality experience under my belt with a keen attitude to learn. After a number of knock backs from crew agencies and pure determination I landed my first boat as a temporary stewardess in Imperia, Italy on a 35m, from then progressing my career through 4 very different long term boats utilising my skills set as I went. I've had the pleasure of working with some fantastic crew and learnt from the very best throughout my time in the industry. I would not have changed a thing, I have learnt so much and made some valued friends and treasured memories along my way. I was lucky enough to work for some fantastic owners, experience things I never could have imagined and travelled to places I never could have reached. 5 years on, finishing as Senior Stewardess on 58m charter/private vessel I finally threw in the towel and I now have a beautiful little girl who fills my time, with a partner still in the industry. tia@robsoncrew.com |
