Jobs On Boats, Ships And Barges
There
are a wide variety of jobs available on boats, barges, yachts, cruise liners and
fishing boats.
In the UK and parts of Europe
there are Canal Barges converted into Hotels, these tend to operate between March
and September and take on Experienced Chefs, Good Quality Cooks, Licensed Pilots,
Hosts/Hostesses, deckhands and Cabin Crew. Passengers usually pay a lot for these
holidays so crew are expected to be of a high standard.
Throughout
the world work on Yachts & Sea Going Vessels can be picked up at busy
port towns by approaching boat owners on spec, work can include cooking and
cleaning. Make sure you get on with the crew before you leave port as you will
be spending
24 hours a day living in each others pockets! Don't expect to find
paid employment
unless you are highly qualified.
Work can
be found on fishing boats working out of fishing ports, this work is very, very
tough but if you work hard financially rewarding usually on a profit share basis
of fish caught. Once again make sure you get on with your potential ship mates.
Jobs
are also available on Cruise Ships, wages are low but tips can be very profitable
indeed, Cruise Liners recruit Hospitality Staff, Entertainers, Chefs & Cooks,
Deck Hands, & Qualified Ship Crew.
