About

Dear Captain / Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in a stewardess position on board. With over a year of yachting experience across both private and charter vessels, I have developed a strong foundation in all aspects of interior operations, including housekeeping, laundry, service, and event preparation. I bring a positive, adaptable approach to my work and am confident in fast-paced, guest-facing environments. My background in childcare, education, and hospitality has strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, stay organised, and contribute to a welcoming and well-run onboard atmosphere. I take pride in maintaining high standards and enjoy being part of a team that delivers a seamless and enjoyable experience for both guests and crew.
