I know this is probably not the best sub for it but do you have any recommendations on where to find crew jobs on sailing or motor yachts?

I come from a high-end restaurant and private aviation background so I’m familiar with the lifestyle and desires of the client. Unfortunately I can’t fly anymore so I’m looking to move into something like that.

I’m also a dive instructor and have experience in the polar regions which I understand is desirable as well but I don’t know where to start.

Edit to add: I am a cicerone and certified beer judge as well as having limited experience sailing on lakes.

I'm booking a crewed week in the BVI for my parents' 35th. My mom gets seasick and my dad is picky about food (if it helps). So the chef and captain matter more than the boat.

How do you get them to match the crew, not just the boat? And if I already like one yacht, is a broker still worth it?
