UKSA has announced it is launching an enhanced Superyacht Stewardess and Steward Course in response to the industry’s demand for entry level interior crew which boast a much higher level of expertise and qualifications.
The new 5-week premium programme, designed by a team of maritime experts will see students being equipped with the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to work as a steward or stewardess in the superyacht sector.
This includes being trained by UKSA’s highly experienced team to ensure exceptional levels of services and attention to detail expected onboard 7-star luxury vessels.
Will Satterly, Head of Careers at UKSA said:
“For anyone wishing to work in the interior team on a superyacht, this course is perfect to equip you with all the expertise to deliver the ultimate standard of service. Superyacht owners and guests expect 1st-class, and this course will fully prepare anyone wishing to embark on a career in the superyacht industry and understand the high standards required.
“This is an all-inclusive course meaning all food and accommodation, tuition and mentoring is included and we’re also very proud to offer 1-to-1 sessions and careers advice together with CV writing and recruitment support to ensure our students are given the edge.”
The course is being delivered by UKSA’s superyacht instructor team Ben and Holly Cooke of The Little Gloster, alongside the British Butler Institute, which is recognised as the leader in butler and hospitality training worldwide, and has been developed to align with the reputable IAMI GUEST Programme.
As previously reported by Island Echo, the charity recently announced 80% of the September intake for its Superyacht Cadetship course are receiving funding in a move to ensure the maritime industry is accessible to as many young people as possible with UKSA providing over half of the funding towards course fees – an average of £12,000.

Topnotch maritime training – learn to pour cocktails on a boat.
No wonder UK plc is in trouble.
idiot- providing courses for jobs that are in demand – makes sense.
I’d rather work in McDonald’s than serve cocktails to Russian mafia… or people like the Green family…
