A gate, not a guarantee
The register tells you the gate is there. It says nothing about vacancies. For that, Oyster Yachts Limited's own careers page and the job boards are the source, and they change with the season.
How to approach them
Ask the question early
Sponsorship is a yes or no per role. Ask in the first message whether the vacancy qualifies for a Certificate of Sponsorship; it saves everyone a wasted interview and marks you as someone who knows the system.
