Your Superyacht Career
at Sea Starts
Right Here
by Kylie O'Brien
Welcome aboard! With a background in hotel management and psychology, and 12 years at sea, I wrote The Stewardess Bible because I wished someone had handed it to me on day one. This is the original. The benchmark from which so many have gone on to launch successful careers. Since 2011 it has been making the lives of superyacht stewardesses easier and now, stepping into the modern era, it is making it even easier. Whether you are just starting out or stepping up to chief stew, this is the real deal, written from real experience.
Everything I know. All in one place.
I started The Stewardess Bible back in 2011 because there was simply nothing like it out there. No proper training guide, no one telling you what to actually expect on board, no roadmap. Just you, a uniform and a whole lot of trial and error. My background is in hotel management and psychology, and that human centred approach runs through everything I teach. Great service is not just about technique. It is about people. I have been there. I get it. And I wrote all of this so that you do not have to learn the hard way.
"Be inspired daily to follow your dreams and do a job that you love."
I left university and headed to Japan to work at Hotel Nikko Sekitei. That was my first taste of what truly exceptional hospitality looks like and I was completely hooked. My education in hotel management and psychology gave me something most people in this industry do not have from the start: a genuine understanding of people. What they need, what they feel, and how to make them feel at home even 50 miles offshore.
Then a childhood friend who was a superyacht captain came home on holiday, poured me a glass of wine and told me stories about life at sea. Within weeks I was in Palma de Mallorca with a suitcase, no real plan and absolutely no regrets. Twelve years and some extraordinary yachts later, The Stewardess Bible was born. Proudly, this original work is the benchmark from which so many have gone on to launch successful careers and training companies.
