The principals are specifically looking to bring the same exceptional standards, discretion, and service excellence found aboard 75–100m+ superyachts into their private homes.

These roles are available across multiple properties and offer the opportunity to work within well-structured, high-performing estate teams.

Ideal Background:
We are particularly interested in candidates who have worked aboard 65–100m+ yachts and are now seeking a long-term, land-based career. Suitable profiles include:

Key Responsibilities (role dependent):

  • Delivering yacht-level interior and housekeeping standards within private residences
  • Supporting daily household operations and estate logistics
  • Vendor coordination and property upkeep
  • Facilities and maintenance oversight (where applicable)
  • Providing high-touch, discreet service to principals and guests
  • Supporting events, travel preparation, and seasonal property readiness

  • Exceptional attention to detail and high service standards
  • Professional, discreet, and adaptable
  • Strong team players with a positive, proactive mindset
  • Seeking long-term stability in a land-based role
  • Flexible and accustomed to high-expectation principals and dynamic schedules

Why This Role:
This is an exceptional opportunity to transition from yachting into a prestigious, long-term private estate environment while maintaining the high standards and structure you are accustomed to at sea.
