Meanwhile, I include Crew Pacific on this list due to its strong connection to the megayacht industry. Crew Pacific has been in business since 2001 and provides crew to yachts throughout the world, both motor and sail. The school often has captains come in to teach components of its five- and eight-day deckhand and stew/deck courses. Crew Pacific also offers free career nights throughout Australia.
