The Crew Coach Announces the Superyacht Scholarship 2017

Building on the success of the 2016 Superyacht Scholarship, The Crew Coach is delighted to announce that the 2017 edition is now open, giving four more young crew members the opportunity of a lifetime to develop their career in the exciting world of luxury yachting.  

Not everyone can afford the high costs of training and job hunting and we want to make it possible for those who otherwise might not be able to access this wonderful opportunity.

Every year hundreds of hopeful young people come to Antibes in France, looking for their big break as crew onboard a superyacht, but not everyone makes it. The superyacht scholarship not only gives people many of the entry level training courses and certificates they need, but also gives them access to connections and guiding hands to give them the best possible chance of succeeding in their career.

All people aged 18-30 
All nationalities (fluent English is a prerequisite)
ENG1 certificate is a prerequisite

Four scholarships to be won: Galley, Interior, Exterior, Engineering

The finalists and winners will be announced by The Crew Coach on a live webinar, along with allocation of the Grand Prizes.
