Updated for 2013, this book is a comprehensive look at the luxury yacht industry from the perspective of working on board. Not only does it discuss what the industry is exactly, but how it works. What qualifications and/or paperwork are required for crew, what jobs are available and where, when and how to find them. It will also give you a real insight into what living aboard is really like with a thorough look at what's involved for entry level crew including stewards/esses, deckhands and chefs. There are stories from those already working in yachting giving up-to-date and sound advice. It is not a a training manual for safety at sea and it is not a "how to" book on sailing. It doesn't tell you about navigation, rules of the road, weather, burgees and the rest. Instead, this book gives anyone with a taste of 'wonderlust' what it is really like to live and work in one of the most exclusive, jet-set industries on earth.
