"I have been a deckhand for two years and cannot emphasize enough how useful the content of this book is! Not only is it well written and illustrated, it brings a practical approach to procedures used in the day to day operations on super yachts. Entering the industry can be quite daunting because one has little tools or knowledge to tackle problems on deck without consulting superiors. While having good leadership is essential to growing confidence, this knowledge will significantly expedite your overall feeling of competence and help develop the right habits for your deck career. Worth every penny!"

Yes, we think this book is awesome. But don't just take our word for it...
