Have you ever dreamed of waking up to the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean, sipping coffee on deck as the sun rises over the Caribbean, or docking in the glamorous ports of Monaco and Dubai—all while getting paid?
Sounds like a fantasy? For professional yacht crew members, this is everyday reality.
Welcome to the world of JIVA Yacht Management (JYM), where adventure meets professionalism, and passion transforms into a global career.
A Career Beyond Borders
Working as a yacht crew member isn’t just about luxury travel. It’s about excellence, discipline, and delivering world-class service on floating five-star resorts. But here’s the catch: the yacht industry doesn’t just reward the wealthy—it also creates opportunities for ambitious professionals from all walks of life.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to switch careers, the superyacht industry offers something rare: a chance to travel the world without spending a dime—and get paid handsomely for it.
At JIVA Yacht Management, we make it possible.
Who We Are: From Vision to Voyage
JIVA Yacht Management (JYM) was born from humble beginnings. Tracing its roots to Jelakshi Academia Education, founded in May 2021 at The Marine Dubai Harbour Marina, the company started with a clear mission: to guide individuals toward successful careers in the yachting industry.
Driven by the inspiring journey of our founder, JIVA quickly evolved from an education platform to a full-fledged yacht management service. On March 18, 2025, we rebranded into JIVA Yacht Management, supported by a professional team of industry insiders with firsthand experience working on board superyachts.
Today, we are more than just a management company—we are a community, a support system, and a launchpad for talent across Asia and beyond.
