First Mate/First Officer
Responsibilities: Nearly at the top! The responsibilities of a superyacht First Mate requires lots of administration and management of the crew, you are the Captain’s number two and will be required to do a lot of paperwork.
You will work with the Engineer but you are not in charge of him/her. This position is often in charge of security and liaison with crew for personnel management issues in place of the Captain. Radio operation may also be required.
Experience: You are required by the MCA to have a minimum of 12 months of Yacht Service between passing your OOW and taking your Master 500gt, (24 months for the Master 3000gt)
