New Year, New Career: Transitioning Shoreside After a Career in Yachting

As we are well into the new year, many people start thinking about making changes in their lives. For those who have spent years working in the yachting industry, the idea of transitioning to a shoreside career may be on their minds. While working on a yacht can be an exciting and rewarding experience, it can also be physically demanding and require long periods of time away from home. If you are looking to make a change in the new year, transitioning to a shoreside career may be a great option for you.

One of the main reasons why people decide to leave the yachting industry and pursue a shoreside career is to have more stability and work-life balance. Working on a yacht often means being away from family and friends for extended periods of time, which can take a toll on your personal life. Transitioning to a shoreside career can allow you to have a more regular schedule and spend more time at home with your loved ones.

When making the transition from a career in yachting to a shoreside career, it is important to leverage your skills and experience from your time on the water. Working on a yacht requires a unique set of skills, such as strong communication, problem-solving, and customer service skills. These skills are highly transferable and can be valuable in a variety of shoreside roles, such as event planning, hospitality management, or sales.

If you are considering making the switch to a shoreside career in the new year, here are some tips to help you make a successful transition:

1. Network with professionals in your desired industry to learn more about potential job opportunities and gain insights on the skills and experience needed for success.

2. Update your CV and Yotspot profile to highlight your relevant experience and skills from your time in yachting.

3. Consider taking courses or certifications to enhance your skills and make yourself more marketable to potential employers. 

4. Be open to starting in an entry-level position and working your way up as you gain experience in your new career.


Overall, transitioning from a career in yachting to a shoreside career can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. By leveraging your skills and experience from your time on the water, you can make a successful transition and embark on a new and exciting chapter in your career. So as we are in the new year and if you are considering making the switch head over to yotspot.com to have a look at the available positions.
