Student Feedback

Rya yachtmaster coastal skipper commercially endorsed.

A big thank you to these amazing people!! Atlantic Yachting Sail and Power it’s been an unforgettable journey. As well as to all the instructors. Wouldn’t of wanted it any different. It’s not just a sailing school, I would say it’s more like a family that you get very attached too. Gonna miss this place..

RYA Yachtmaster Offshore with commercial endorsement

Thanks so much for steering Hugo Davis-mason through the Offshore Yacht Master course over the last 6 months. He has grown from a boy to a man under your tutelage. Sailing from Capetown to Tortola over 40 days was the experience of a lifetime and has cemented his love of sailing. Without your company’s care and knowledge he would still be wondering which course to navigate in his life. I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a challenge for their son or daughter to grow through adventure and discipline.

Competent Crew

Best Sailing school in the southern hemisphere! Thanks for making me feel at home and teaching me new skills. Will definitely come back in the future.

Over exceeded my expectations of the course. Was worth every cent & cannot wait to book my/our next day skipper. Our instructor – a rare breed of seamanship with a natural talent for the sea, teaching and good humour – Steele.

I would take my family to sea with you any day. Thank you Atlantic Yachting

RYA Yachtmaster Offshore with commercial endorsement – Career Course

Such an incredible team! They go above and beyond to help their students. They’re readily available, always happy to help and have so much knowledge about sailing and the industry at large!

RYA Day Skipper- RYA Coastal Skipper – Career Course

Second time around 😉 Thank you to Hayley, Janine and Nicole for your patience and answering all the numerous questions and leading a guiding hand 😊To the Instructors for putting up with us students, haha. I would highly recommend Atlantic Yachting to anyone looking for a professional, organised, and well-structured Sailing School. I wish the team the best for any and all future endeavours.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a sailing course with Atlantic Yachting, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The school and its instructors were exceptional, providing me with an unforgettable experience. I have since recommended Atlantic Yachting to my friends, and I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking to take a sailing course. Overall, I had an amazing time and learned a lot, and I have Atlantic Yachting to thank for that.

Wonderful team, from management to the instructors. Welcoming and professional! The accommodation is more than anyone can ask, few minutes walking from the school! Nice fleet and wonderful place where to sail. Wind is always blowing, and sea condition goes s from flat (in the lagoon for starting) to surfing 2/3mt swell in complete safety. As a foreigner i never felt so at home!

RYA Yachtmaster with commercial endorsement – Career Course

The best Sailing school in the world trust me!

Truly an amazing place to go and learn all about sailing and explore the beautiful Atlantic Ocean!🙌🏻

Awesome school. Learned so much. Everyone and everything was amazing. Everyone in the office was always helpful and friendly, going out of their way to help in any way they could. The yachts and equipment are top notch, clean and safe, the crew house is lovely, and the instructors are awesome, again helpful, and very knowledgeable. Just a great place for yacht related qualifications.

Thanks again guys, been an awesome 8 weeks.

Competent Crew & Day Skipper – Recreational Sailing

I followed the “competent crew” and “day skipper” training over 3 weeks. Excellent school, of good level, the instructor was very competent, patient despite my average level in English… We repeat the gestures and instructions until perfect assimilation and execution. Higher level of education than anything I have experienced before in France, at a much cheaper rate. I definitely improved my level in sailing, in a friendly and festive atmosphere. The sailboats are very good, and the accommodation at the crew house is perfect. I hope to come back to continue with the “coastal skipper” training. I recommend this school, especially if you are a beginner.

First class education and instructors have a vast knowledge on all topics. An excellent sailing school through and through.

I would just like to convey my utmost thanks to the Atlantic Yachting family. These past few weeks have been an eye-opening experience and have solidified my decision to pursue a career in the super yachting industry.

I would like to thank all the staff involved: Adrian, Hayley, Mike, Janine, Susan, Jan, Leslie and Blesswell; I am eternally grateful for all your hard work and kindness. I would further like to thank Chrisjan for being an exceptional lecturer and instructor – he is a rare breed, and I would gladly sail with him any day.

I will definitely recommend Atlantic Yachting to everyone I meet. I can safely say that I will be returning in the future.

If you’re ever looking to realise a salty dream, you can’t ask for a better, more professional, fun and knowledgeable team than Atlantic Yachting Sail and Power! Can’t wait to sail with them again. I’ve done both competent crew and day skipper with them and already planning the next adventure (Coastal Skippers). The expertise that they provide has set me in good stead to hoist the sails and hit the ocean confidently and with ease. Thank you, Atlantic Yachting.

Positive : Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value These people bend over backwards to accommodate and help “students” achieve their goals. Both our courses Hayley and the team made great effort to help us with pre course preparation and even help arranging accommodation. Regular feedback on changes of dates (covid / weather related) to help planning our stay. Friendly helpful staff. Very well looked after boats with all safety aspects kept in mind. Well done guys. See you soon for the next one. 😊

Passionate about sailing

Atlantic Yachting Sail and Power training was born out of a love for the ocean and a passion for sailing that our two like-minded partners share. They chose the pristine, shimmering waters of the Langebaan lagoon on the West Coast to base their school with the foresight that it is one of the few lagoons in South Africa that has tidal streams, essential when it comes to sail training.

Deckhand Course Cape Town by Ocean Star Sailing

Where can you enroll for a Superyacht Deckhand Course in Cape Town, South Africa?

Are you young, adventurous, and full of energy? Do you love living the good life in the lap of luxury? Can you imagine doing that while travelling the world and earning Euros?

This dream career as a Superyacht Deckhand can become a reality by taking a top-class course at Ocean Star Sailing Academy . Situated in a spectacular location, in the heart of the world-famous V & A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa, is where you can enroll for a Superyacht Deckhand Course which the RYA and SAS Training Centre fully accredit.

Established in 2007, Ocean Star Sailing Academy is the only Sailing Academy in Cape Town , South Africa, which offers theory and practical courses as well as accommodation within the V & A Waterfront campus.

What does a Superyacht Deckhand Course entail?

A  Superyacht Deckhand Career Course is an excellent starting point to begin your career at sea as it gives you a good grounding in day-to-day operations.  The deckhand course is designed for those who have minimal knowledge of sailing.

Ocean Star Sailing Academy has structured the Deckhand Career Package to give you the best possible chance of finding employment.

Students begin their practical training where they learn basic seamanship such as rope-work, sail handling, keeping a good lookout, and assisting with all the “day-to-day” handling of a yacht.

After a week on the water (5 days and four nights), students move to the classroom, where they spend another week (5 days) learning the basic theory involved in boating (power and sail), with an emphasis on safety, rules of the road and fundamental navigational methods.

This is followed by the  STCW course  (Standards of Training for Crew and Watch), where students learn basic first aid, firefighting, and life-raft training.

In the final week, students participate in an exciting 2-day  Power Boat  course. This Power Boat Level 1 & 2  course is now a prerequisite for most crew if they want to handle the yacht’s tender.

Students then spend a day in the classroom earning their VHF radio license . The last four days are on the Deckhand course, where maintenance, knowledge and application, wash-downs, teak maintenance, deckhand duties (navigational watch and guests on board), line handling and anchoring duties, etc. are covered.

The courses also include the  RYA Diesel Engine course  and  RYA Radar course .

Students learn how to assess damage and begin the repair process, starting with damage control and protection of surrounding areas, applying anti-corrosive primers and fillers, and applying the Polyurethane Topcoat. Another part of the maintenance section of the course focuses on woodwork and varnishing skills.

Protecting surrounding areas, correct taping up, knowledge of sandpaper, sanding with the grain, staying inside taped-up areas, proper mixing, and applying the varnish. As an added benefit, students are given tips on interviewing and creating a CV fit for the industry.

• Day Skipper Theory  – 5 days
• Day Skipper practical
• SRC/ VHF Radio 1 – day
• RYA PB2 Powerboat – 2   days
• STCW 10  – 11 days
• Superyacht Deckhand – 4 days
• RYA PWC Jet Ski  – 1 day
• RYA RADAR – 1 day
• RYA Diesel Engine Course – 1 day

Is The Standards of Training for Crew and Watch (STCW) course compulsory when doing a Superyacht Deckhand Course?

The STCW   Basic Safety Training course  is the minimum legal requirement for anyone looking for commercial work aboard vessels, including on Superyachts and Cruise ships . Ocean Star Sailing Academy is the leading  RYA accredited  training facility in Cape Town, South Africa. This is this is compulsory when doing the Superyacht Deckhand course.

What are the Duties of a Superyacht Deckhand on a Superyacht?

In contrast to the Stewardess role, Superyacht Deckhands look after the boat’s exterior . Deckhands will do everything from general maintenance to cleaning the teak deck, looking after the toys (Jet Skis, etc.), and even driving the tenders.

Yacht Deckhand is one of the entry-level positions for those looking for work as a part of the Deck crew on board a luxury yacht or superyacht. It is the first step on the yachting career ladder.

Depending on the size of the yacht, there may be between one and ten Deckhands working onboard a yacht to tirelessly clean and polish the exterior to keep it constantly looking its absolute best.

The responsibilities of the Yacht Deckhand are varied and include:

• The daily cleaning of the yacht’s exterior, washing, polishing, and waxing to ensure its immaculate condition.
• Assisting the Bosun and Officer(s) with maintenance projects, such as sanding, caulking, and filling, and preparing exterior surfaces for varnishing or painting.
• Assisting with onboard operations and systems-line handling.
• Driving the tender and supervising guests as required during water sports and diving or while using the yacht’s water toys.

What kind of person would be suitable for a career as a Superyacht Deckhand?

As an entry-level position , a yacht Deckhand job does not necessarily require any previous yachting experience but requires patience and a positive mental attitude. It is well suited to a young adventurous male who wants to see the world while earning.

A Deckhand must be comfortable with the idea of working long days filled with manual tasks and hands-on work that will likely see him abseiling down the side of the yacht or leaning out of a RIB to clean its exterior.

In terms of skills, a yacht deckhand would benefit from recreational boating skills, aptitude, and prior knowledge of carpentry and mechanics.

A Yacht Deckhand should be good at working as part of a team. He will likely be a sporty type that likes to be outdoors, which is why a job such as Yacht Deckhand will appeal.

Having done a course as a Yacht Deckhand, which the RYA and SAS Training Centre fully accredits, certainly gives you the advantage of being hired over and above the applicant who does not have any knowledge. This will otherwise require the crew’s time to train the new recruit.

Before searching or applying for any yacht Deckhand job, all candidates must have a valid  certificate of medical fitness for seafarers , such as the ENG1 or equivalent, and must have passed the  STCW Basic Safety Training . A Power Boat Level 2 or more is also highly beneficial to have.

How Much Does a Yacht Deckhand Earn in Euros?

It is not uncommon for a first-time Superyacht Deckhand to earn between 50,000 and 60,000 Euros yearly . Salaries can vary depending on experience and qualifications, but it is essential to remember that these positions are in high demand.

The job does require dedication, high energy, and a committed work ethic as part of a team. It is by no means a regular 9 am – 5 pm job where one can go home to one’s family. It is a job suitable for a single young man who is independent without family responsibilities and commitments, as it keeps one away from home for prolonged periods. However, it is lucrative and a wonderful experience for a carefree person to travel the world and earn simultaneously. The opportunities are endless, and the people one can meet and rub shoulders with are the real highflyers.

TESTIMONIALS

“Happy days polishing the boat in the sunshine 🌞😋 Sitting on a yacht in Cannes beyond happy to have made it into the industry. It is so intimidating at the very start, trying to get your foot in the door but having done the stewardess course with @the_stewardess_co and Maxine's continued support post-course gave me that extra needed boost to step into the industry with confidence and find my first job on a super yacht!” Luiza Dos Santos

"I was lucky enough to complete my stewardess training with Maxine Oakley from The Stewardess Co. An absolutely fantastic course is provided here. There are so many additional sections pertinent to the yachting industry included in this course that aren’t covered by many other Stewardess Schools in South Africa. Maxine really goes above and beyond to ensure her students feel comfortable and happy with every section of the course. Maxine fully explained what the industry entailed and fully prepared each and every one of her students for every aspect of what it takes to be an excellent stewardess. Needless to say she is an amazing mentor and professional in the yachting industry.Not only is she an excellent teacher but she is also incredibly open to listening to the mentee and providing great insightful advice. Max is very humble and friendly, I couldn’t recommend a better place to complete your stewardess training. I feel so confident in my skills and my future in the yachting industry. It was a huge privilege to learn from such an exceptional woman. Her authenticity, Her willingness to share her own experiences and wisdom are all qualities to be highlighted. 10/10 would recommend The Stewardess Co. to anyone looking to learn more about being a stewardess in the yachting industry. .” Teagan Volkwyn

"From start to finish The Stewardess Co. course comprehensively covered a spectrum of knowledge and skills needed to succeed as a stewardess. The course is the ultimate kickstart for anyone wanting to join the industry. After the intense week of classes and practical experience I feel far more confident walking onto a yacht. What I appreciated most about Max and the course she presented was the extra effort put into the training. Along with a boatload of theory, students spend time on a yacht and build their practical skills. Another bonus is all the extra tips and tricks that you are exposed to in class from a first hand experience. It is the attention to detail that stands out and puts her and this course on a pedestal, I cannot recommend this course more.” Courtney Ann Trow

"This course is very worth your while! I loved every minute! The group of girls I was with was super fun. I learnt some excellent techniques in housekeeping, flower arranging, cocktail making and silver service. Maxine is a dynamic personality who gets the best out of everyone. She’s always ready to share of her time and expertise. I cannot enthuse enough about this course.” Cydney Malcolm

"I am so incredibly proud to be a student from The Stewardess Co. We have been taught all the little details in theory and most importantly practically. Here at The Stewardess Co. we became a family that lifts everyone up and we give it our all, even if we aren’t having the best day. We are all so lucky to have Maxine Oakley as our Stewardess Teacher but also as our life coach. When I worked with The Stewardess Co. students, Captains couldn’t believe that we were greenies to the industry. They said we really know what we are doing. Thank you Maxine and all The Stewardess Co. students for our life long sisterhood.” Mia Karlhuber

"My experience at The Stewardess Co with Maxine really just exceeded all expectations and provided me with a lot more than just following course material. It being the first course of my Superyacht training I was nervous at first for the whole journey and as I walked into the doors, being met with the small class of girls and Max, I immediately felt so comfortable, safe and excited. It was the perfect environment to learn, as it is was with a smaller group. This created a space of comfortable learning, easy sharing and as much conversation around the topic as possible. Max really instilled confidence in our abilities and has ever since then provided us with each with as many opportunities and references as she can. The same can be said from all the girls she’s taught before. She has never forgotten about all those who pass through her doors and does the most she can to see us succeed even after those 5 days which I think is beyond remarkable and the main reason I would recommend going through her rather than any other institution. Max treats everyone like family and is a lot more than a successful woman running a business. She has the experience in the field to know exactly what she is talking about and would teach us life lessons and expose us to the reality of the working world which I felt was so important and considerate. We shared many laughs, stories and exciting future dreams. I am so grateful to have signed up through The Stewardess Co and my journey through those weeks wouldn’t have been the same without that experience along with the friends I met from that first day, including the guidance, confidence and support from Max. And it showed, thank you to Max, straight after my full set of courses, I was able to land a job on a yacht for the total of 5 weeks through her contact, where I was offered to stay on and even run the department. All couldn’t have been without Maxine and her world class training at The Stewardess Co. I recommend it through and through. ” Cameron Beaufort

"I had the privilege to apply and complete the Stewardess course in September 2022 with Maxine Oakley. Definitely learned a lot more than what I thought I knew and having had someone that knows first hand and has been apart from a chief stew , Maxine just like us started as a Stewardess , she taught each class with a lot of love, knowledge and gave us always the truth of the matter. I enjoyed the teamwork with my classmates when it came to our practical test , one thing I’ll never forget was I accidentally broke champagne glasses by it falling off from the tray, Maxine told me a few words that will forever stick with me :’ Don’t let one bad thing determine the rest of your service’ Also want to thank the team behind every phone call whom assisted to the best of their potential Thank you Stewardess Co team ” Roxane Colmant

“My experience with The Stewardess Co. has been absolutely amazing! Without their support and help I would have never been able to secure a job on a yacht this fast. Maxine, their Chief Stewardess instructor, is such a great trainer and always willing to help and provide support. Since day one she has been there to guide me and she still checks in on me. I would definitely recommend them to anybody who would like to break into the yachting industry!” Jami Dyers

"I don’t think any other trainer or course could have prepared me for the yachting industry better than The Stewardess Co. I got my dream job as a service stewardess onboard a prestigious 125+m vessel in the UAE shortly after completing my course at The Stewardess Co and I would not have been able to do it without Maxine’s support and guidance. Her course is comprehensive, detailed, and up to date with current yachting trends. Her hands-on training will equip you with the knowledge and confidence you need not only to create a good first impression, but to exceed expectations and stand out from the crowd. She is a caring, approachable and knowledgeable mentor and her constant support and motivation has been invaluable to me. I highly recommend The Stewardess Company to anyone who wants to succeed in the industry.” Mieke Du Plessis

“Thank you to Maxine from The Stewardess Co. for your professional training program. After five years working as an ocean-based tour guide and dive instructor, deciding to train as professional yacht crew was quite intimidating, but having a mentor with such deep knowledge of the industry is a great way to learn. Throughout the course I gained confidence in the skills and techniques needed to thrive in service. I'm excited about the future and can't wait for the journey ahead.” Yente Coetzee

The Stewardess Co. provides professional Yacht Stewardess training for the modern Superyacht industry. Our years of experience on both private and charter vessels ranging from 25m to 80m in length provides our candidates with the very best in Superyacht instruction and allows for a unique and in-depth understanding of the Yacht Stewardess role.
