Book Highlights

• The DeckCrew Guidebook is a unique publication and appears to be the first of its kind for the yachting industry as a whole.
• The book covers 22 topics of maritime training. It ranges from subjects such as security and piracy to yacht terminology, crew positions, medical safety and even manoeuvring/mooring of yachts and tenders.
• The book is uniquely designed and contains numerous images to highlight relevant points of learning
and to showcase the adventures available to WhiteBoat crew.
• The book is the ideal reference for potential deck candidates in the luxury yacht industry and is firmly pitched at new and junior personnel.
• The DeckCrew Guidebook is currently in its first edition.

Why Would You Read It?

• The DeckCrew Guidebook is an up-to-date publication focused squarely on gaining employment in the White Boat industry.
• It is written by a highly experienced and qualified Mariner with more than 12 years industry experience.
• The lessons are based on actual experiences and first hand knowledge of crew customs, expectations and client demands.
• Outside of this book there is a lack of current and specific training or reference material available for new entrants to the luxury yacht industry — up until now, all training has been “on the job” so gaining an edge against potential candidates has been difficult.
• The book and associated courses will assist intending crew members to land their first job as a White Boat deck crew member.

Motivations Behind the Book

• To promote the industry and the potential career opportunities that it provides, with a particular focus on deck crew roles and responsibilities.
• To emphasize the need to learn discreteness and confidentiality to succeed as a long-term crew member.
• To facilitate a greater sharing of knowledge within the industry and achieve more knowledgeable junior and entry-level deck crew.
• To create a unique publication that will reinforce lessons for professional crew and provide specific information for novice candidates who wish to work onboard the world’s ever-growing luxury yacht fleet.
