This is not a pile of videos
It is the route, in the order it actually happens.
You cannot tell whether you can live this life from one video. You tell from seeing the whole job. Work through all six steps and you will know — and if the answer is yes, you are already trained for it. All of it before you spend a cent on certificates, flights or visas.
Step 1 — where you start
What this life actually looks like.
My story, the honest pros and the honest cons. This is the opening, not the verdict — the real answer comes from working through the rest. This step is free.
Step 2 — getting hired
Which certificate first, which port, which month.
The order to do your tickets in and which ones can wait. Where to fly and when the season actually hires. The CV format captains read. The agencies. The contract clauses that catch people out.
Step 3 — your first days on board
Walking on and not drowning.
Getting stamped in and out, watch duties, cabin inspections, onboard accounting, and the galley handover that decides whether you get asked back.
Step 4 — feeding the crew
The people you live with, three times a day.
Crew meals, the rotation that keeps morale up, and prepping an Atlantic crossing with no resupply for fourteen days.
Step 5 — guests on board
The charter weeks that make your season.
Preference sheets, provisioning, 24-hour menu changes, service standards, and plating for people who eat anywhere in the world they like.
Step 6 — season one into a career
Equal time rotation, and half the year off.
Upskilling, building your name, mental health at sea, and turning one season into eight weeks on and eight weeks off — or ten and ten — on the same salary every month.
Finish all six and you will know whether this life is yours — and you will already have the skills to do the job properly. 40 videos and 36 handouts, in the order you need them. Almost everything in here exists because I got it wrong first.
Every lesson on that route
40 video lessons across 6 modules, plus 36 PDF handouts. Everything unlocks the day you join — nothing is drip-fed.
Getting hired is step two of six. The rest is what happens after you walk on board — the part that decides whether you get asked back, and the part nobody publishes.
