Hardy of One Ocean Marine, on the other hand, sees a drop in green crew this year and he reckons there are fewer junior positions available as vessels have gone to skeleton crew. “The Russian/ Ukraine situation has definitely impacted the industry and alongside this it seems a lot of experienced crew have left the industry. The number of new chefs entering the industry hasn’t changed in the past 12 months but Covid did make some chefs re-evaluate their careers so the number of green chefs over the last few years has been higher.”
YEAR AHEAD
Chloé Collet of YPI anticipates a busy and exciting Mediterranean season with lots of activity surrounding the many events that are all back on the calendar. There will be more green chefs moving from shoreside to sea reckons Bailey-Easdon and “So far, the standard of these chefs is excellent. This should help to raise the standards in general in the galley and to show that restaurant experience is important as well. Rotational packages are also becoming more common.”
Cara Lees expects an increase in the charter market and new builds; “A flourishing charter market along with the growth in new yacht constructions has created an exciting atmosphere in the world of yachting. This surge is further fuelled by the rising number of ultra-wealthy individuals and a younger generation of owners exploring the globe on their luxurious vessels. Consequently, this demand for yachts is met by extensive waiting lists for new builds, further accelerating the charter market growth.”
SALTWATER RECRUITMENT A Kiwi-owned agency founded in 2016 by ex-Chief Stew Monique Dykstra offering a boutique approach to recruitment. As client-side herself for over five years as Chief Stewardess, it was during the new build phase of 107m expedition yacht Ulysses where she discovered a gap in the market. There was a lot of mass CV sending with little consideration or understanding of the client’s requirements onboard. Saltwater’s solution was to focus on building relationships and presenting higher quality recommendations. Seven years on, the team have grown into a powerhouse of six passionate, driven women working out of the UK, NZ and France. Being boutique, Saltwater are selective with the vessels they work with to ensure their values are aligned. The team value quality over quantity and ensure candidates are thoroughly pre- screened, references are verified so they are ready to hire. For more details visit
