MALLORCA INSIDERS: The Superyacht World with Recruiter Erica Lay

Meet our newest Mallorca Insider, Erica Lay — veteran crew agent and author of Superyacht Life: How to Start, Succeed and Stay Sane. Erica lifts the lid on the real superyacht industry in Mallorca: what counts as a superyacht, why TV shows like Below Deck skew expectations, and how hiring really works for deck, interior and engineering roles. We cover the starter essentials (ENG1 medicals, STCW modules, dock-walking), realistic entry salaries and seasons, plus the culture on board — tiny cabins, long hours, big teamwork — and why mental health, boundaries and diversity matter at sea. Erica shares straight-talking advice for “green crew”, what captains actually look for, and how women are carving paths on deck and in the wheelhouse.
