Short answer: If you pass and you’re available, you should expect to work. While we can’t make a legal guarantee, in practice we almost always schedule 5+ weeks for new graduates in their first Mediterranean season.
What this means for you
Historically, nearly all graduates who are available in June–August receive 5 or more weeks across Yacht Week and (when available) private charters.
Exact weeks depend on booking demand, your availability, paperwork/visa status, and performance.
How priority is decided
Guest satisfaction & teamwork (good reviews move you up the list)
Availability & flexibility on dates/destinations
Professionalism & documentation in order
Bottom line: Passing Academy opens the door — and in almost every normal season, we get you 5+ weeks as long as you’re ready and available.
