So You Want to Work as Crew on a Yacht? (Part 2)

Beside the many websites that have information about crewing aboard a yacht, there are actually a few books out there that former yachties have written. The book that got me started in yachting was Crewing Aboard a Superyacht - A Guide to Working Afloat.

This book covers everything you need to know when starting out on a yacht as crew from what kind of luggage to take with you (collapsible) to tips about working out in small places!

Some other books I have seen out there that I wish I had when I was first starting out are

The Insiders' Guide to Becoming a Yacht Stewardess: Confessions from My Years Afloat with the Rich and Famous

and

What Every NEW Yacht Stewardess Should Know!

Obviously these books are geared toward stewardesses but I'm sure they have information for chefs and deckhands as well, especially if you are female.
