NAUTILUSPARTNERSHIP
Working in the world of superyachts it is sometimes easy to let the luxury lifestyle cushion
us from the realities of life. Joining a union probably never occurs to the average yachtie,
yet being a member is about much more than industrial action and payrises.
Nautilus, the professional body for the British maritime sector has joined forces with Dovaston
to create a strategic alliance to bring the benefits of their organisation to the private
yachting world.
Growing demand for professional seafarers in the large yacht sector presents some great opportunities,
but working in this sector is not always plain sailing.
As boats get bigger they are becoming more affected by IMO and ILO regulations.
As a crew member it is in both your own and the boats interest to make sure that you are aware
and informed of the current rules.
That's when membership of a professional organisation with the services, benefits and specialised
experience of Nautilus UK comes into its own.
So why not buck the trend and start calling yourself a professional yacht worker? Be part of
the organisation chosen by the worlds leading maritime professions, after all what have you
got to lose?
