The role of a host

As a host, you are the heart and soul of your guests' unforgettable journey onboard. Your unwavering commitment to providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience starts from the moment they step on board until their departure.

You will take charge of serving and cooking delicious meals, ensuring the galley is always in order, providing guidance and support, and working alongside the skipper to make sure everything runs smoothly. In addition, you will be responsible for keeping the vibes high, and keeping your guests informed of all the exciting experiences that await them.

Think of yourself as your guests' new best friend, ready to go above and beyond to provide them with the ultimate vacation experience. You will need to learn how to make your guests feel comfortable and relaxed, as nobody wants a stranger intruding on their holiday.
