Who We Are

I’ve worked in the yachting industry for the past 16 years. Starting off as a dayworker, walking the docks and scrubbing bilges, to becoming a Captain with a Master 3000.

I’ve been on both sides of the job interview, and have experienced who looks good, and who doesn’t.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to circumnavigate the globe, crossed the Atlantic more than 20 times, and spent extensive time on Charters, Private Yachts, and Temp gigs. I’ve been based out of the Med, Caribbean, Patagonia, and Fiji to name a few favorites. From my experiences, I have learned the ins and outs of what it takes to elevate ones career to the next level.

The SYC interview coaching program has been inspired by my experience with conducting hundreds of interviews, managing crew, and offering career advice to friends in the industry.

Seeing so many Yachties struggle with job interviews, has inspired me to develop useful shortcuts that help others move up in their yachting career.

I’m not guaranteeing you get every job you interview for. Because, not every yacht is perfect for every person!
Which is why at SYC we will customize a clear path to finding your ideal yacht and greatly increase your chances of landing your dream job.

Looking forward to working with you,

Captain Richard Hay
