Description
The professional task of the yacht agent is to provide support to the boat and the yacht crew during their stay at the port. These services are of diverse nature and are aimed at facilitating and making the stay in the marina where the yacht has docked easier and more pleasant, including the management of the mooring reservation, the management of the supplies of the services that the boat requires (water, electricity, fuel), the planning of tourist itineraries for the crew who wish to get to know the city, the planning of events and travel reservations, the provision of food and other materials, the management of any other necessary service (medical services, visa management and residence permits so that the crew does not incur any situation of illegality), and others. In short, the yacht agent must be able to deal effectively with any queries that may arise with the yacht's captain and crew.
The yacht agent works as a team and is at the same time the sole interlocutor with the yacht's crew, offering continuous advice and assistance to any demands that may arise, and for this reason, the yacht agent must have all the information and resources to meet the demands placed on him/her. All in all, the yacht agent works in a company that provides the services available to a recreational boat in order to provide quality solutions in the shortest possible response time, bearing in mind that the demands can be very broad, ranging from the supply a cleaner for the boat to the services of a consignee company.
The yacht agent must have a professional profile capable of foreseeing beyond the usual context in order to find creative solutions to the demands made on him/her; so it is necessary to have an attitude and a service mentality capable of working under pressure and providing solutions within a short period of time, always working with autonomy and personal initiative.
