How long does it take to find a job on Yacht?

Finding a job on a yacht can take a long time… or it might never happen.

That’s the truth most crew won’t tell you. Some fly across the world only to head back home broke and empty-handed.

But you won’t know—unless you work with me.

Here’s the deal: a lot of new crew get burned out fast. They don't get responses, they never get called back, they don’t know where to look for a job or what to say. They spend weeks spinning their wheels, slowly draining their savings, until they finally give up and book a flight home.

But not my crew. They get onboard a yacht within a few weeks.

Why?

Because if you’re marketing yourself correctly, networking smart, and have me in your back pocket every step of the way… it’s just a matter of time.

Work with Captain Hugo Ortega

Seen on Bravo's Below Deck™!

Hugo found his first job on a Yacht in 2015. He launched Superyacht Sunday School in 2022 to help you avoid the struggles that he faced—gatekeeping and lack of information on this industry.

He had no maritime experience and came from an immigrant household where boats and yachts were far from reach. He couldn't even swim when he started!

Thousands have watched his "How to Work on Yachts" Masterclass to find their first job on a Superyacht! Hugo became a Superyacht Captain in 2022 and worked as an Officer on vessels up to 90m / 300' since 2019.

He’s also a backpacker, foodie, and avid traveller of Southeast Asia while not aboard. He's helped hundreds of crew change their lives and he can help you, too!
