Demand for beauty professionals on board superyachts increases

Advancements in yacht design has seen a growing trend in improving spa facilities on board superyachts and per industry professionals, a demand for Beauty & Massage therapists is dramatically growing. Crew Placement commented:

“There has been an increase in demand from owners wanting stewardesses with added skills such as massage, beauty therapy and sometimes hairdressing. It is becoming more sought after from superyachts that the steward (ess) has these skills. Some clients love to have an on board therapist, particularly for massages, so that they know they are available at their convenience, whereas other charter clients will request one or two massages or facials during the charter.

“There has been a steady increase over the past seasons, and for sure this will continue. We would agree that due to more superyachts having these private spas and treatment rooms and as the size of yachts are getting larger, this may even become a mandatory request for some charter guests.”

“Certainly the focus on ‘well-being’ and lifestyle is more pronounced generally within the media, so massages as a basic treatment are often requested. The yachts that offer a spa on board are naturally in high demand.”

Massage courses in the yachting industry are extremely helpful as they are a great added skill that can help give an edge to your CV. Having a crew member on board that holds a massage certificate is an advantage for owners and charter guests. It’s luxurious for the owner to enjoy having a massage therapist on hand throughout their voyage and to also offer this service to charter guests.

Natalie says, “I want to prepare students to be compassionate, critical-thinking therapists who are committed to life-long learning and the promotion of health and well-being.”
