A prestigious 55m+ private motor yacht is seeking an experienced, confident, and service-focused second stewardess to join an established, high-performing interior team this January.
This is a fantastic program offering a true 2:2 rotation, beginning with a structured shipyard period before heading into a busy Mediterranean summer season with the owners onboard. Following the Med season, the yacht will undertake an Atlantic crossing for a Caribbean season in Winter 2027.
