Interior and stewardess training courses prepare yacht crew for the demanding hospitality, service, and administration roles aboard private and charter superyachts. The IAMI GUEST (Guidelines and Uniform Standards for Training) programme is the leading qualification framework for interior crew, covering silver service, table setting, flower arranging, wine knowledge, housekeeping, laundry, HR procedures, and yacht administration. Accredited GUEST units are delivered by IAMI-registered training providers worldwide and range from entry-level introductory programmes to advanced certificates. Interior crew play a critical role in the guest experience aboard charter yachts, and a recognised GUEST qualification significantly improves employability. Other training in this area includes cocktail making, wine and spirit education, culinary skills, and spa or wellness certifications.
GUEST is the industry standard qualification framework, created by the PYA and now governed by IAMI (the International Association of Maritime Institutions), for superyacht interior crew, covering service, housekeeping, administration, and leadership. Certified training centres deliver the programme worldwide.
Yes. All professional crew including interior and stewardess roles must hold a valid STCW BST certificate. The GUEST qualification is additional specialist interior training on top of this.
Courses typically cover silver service, table etiquette, housekeeping, laundry care, floral arrangement, beverage service, wine knowledge, and superyacht etiquette.
Many entry-level interior crew roles accept candidates who have completed STCW BST and a recognised interior course. Practical attitude and presentation are valued highly by captains and chief stewardesses.
