How Much Money Do Yacht Crew Make AND I Reveal My Yacht Crew Salary For My Entire Super Yacht Career
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Money, money, money! One of the biggest attractions to new yacht crew entering the super yacht industry. We've all heard the stories, but how much money do yacht crew make in reality? Furthermore, do yacht crew get paid every month of the year, or is it only when there are guests on board?
During my super yacht career I've had experience working on private yachts and charter yachts across a broad range of roles, from deckhand to first officer. My average earnings should therefore be fairly representative of the sort of yacht crew salary you can expect to receive. So, what do crew earn? It starts from around EUR 2500 per month (every month of the year), and goes up from there!
Working on yachts and superyachts isn't easy, but as I explain in this video the rewards can be huge if you start off prepared, and with a vision of what you want to achieve during your mega yacht career. Life as a crew member on a yacht will challenge you in so many ways, but with a plan for the future you'll have the focus and determination to see it through and make the most of the opportunity.
Maybe you'll decide that working on charter yachts is best for you, in which case you have the potential to make some exceptionally good yacht crew tips. Or, maybe a private yacht will suit you better, giving you the chance to build a really good working relationship with an owner who may in time increase your super yacht crew salary to levels you never thought possible.
Whether you're interested in working on deck; the interior; the galley; or, the engineering department; I look forward to helping you make the most of your super yacht crew pay, and achieving your maximum financial potential!

Is this more or less money than you thought super yacht crew earned? I look forward to hearing your thoughts...
This was very accurate for my first job. God, I would love to work with someone as knowledgeable as you. I would learn so fast.
Here in the US I run a 42 foot regal grand coupe. I hold a 200 ton license day rate $600. Next year I will be on an absolute Nevada 64 day rate will be between 600 and $700. My first year is a deckhand 16 years ago day rate $165.00 your numbers seem very low my friend
People not talking about their salary is a very, very big problem. It shields the billionaires and corpo's from paying people fair wages. At least in the US, you can and you should discuss your wages with your coworkers. Employers won't like it, but it does change the game.
The way you speak makes it so easy to take things in and actually remember what your saying
Matthew is a brilliant speaker and it is really easy to pay attention to every word that he says! I try not to miss any word that he says, as each one is so carefully chosen and enunciated.
Thank you Lucy. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Thank you for the inspiration. When you kept saying "they are available for you". That hit me deep 😢
If I could rewind my clock 30+ years, I would do exactly as you prescribe! Then again, none of us have such wisdom in our twenties ;)
Great content, thanks!
SUB'D
Thank you L M! I too would like to give my 20 year old self a bit of advice! But then 20 year old me needed to find his way just like everyone else, and if my experience can be a lesson to others then it's all been worth it.

A very underrated comment
In the U.S., you can file for the “foreign earned income tax exemption” *if* you spend 330 days or more outside of the U.S. in a 12 month period.
Hello Christopher, and thank you for sharing this. In the UK, you need to spend at least 183 days out of the country. There are also a number of other requirements, which I speak about in this video: ruclips.net/video/GXK_JxHwJE4/видео.html
@@MrStangdawg i thought it was the land of the free 😭
How do you have only 887 subscribers. You should have way more than that. Try getting in touch with Jared watney or Tristan from super yacht captain and try and get a shoutout. Because I’m sure that heaps of this subscribers would love your channel. Keep up the great videos
Hi Leo. Thank you for commenting. It's so good to hear when people think that the channel is worthy of more subscribers. It's still early days and I like to think I'm improving, so here's to more subs in the future! Tristan did very kindly recommend one of my videos to his audience at the beginning of the month, which gave the channel a big boost.
Great video. This is probably the most informative yachting channel on youtube
Do you mind doing a video explaining how tips works? Thanks
A huge compliment! Thank you so much. Certainly, I shall add it to the finance series of videos.
good evening, is it possible to do this job only in summer? Seasonal I mean and in any case become 1 deck officer
Hello Angelo. Yes, you can do seasonal work, but this is generally more suited to smaller yachts of around 30m in length or less. The larger yachts need permanent crew year-round.
Looking very forward to watching the next videos about this topic!
Hello John. Thank you for watching!
Everything you mentioned about tips was completely right. I am E2 of merchant vessel like vlcc. One owner of this super yacht cleared an emergency of blackout in Atlantic and we have been nearl vessel to them. As second engineer
I had trouble reading this but, want to know more lol
I am gonna like this just for the straight up answer at the start
Helpful guidelines thanks. In the process of looking for a new yacht which will require crew.
Hello Amanda! I see you've just done your last trip for a couple of months. What sort of yacht are you looking to move up to?
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Hello Matthew. Yes she is going into the shipyard for a couple of weeks for some upkeep work. I am looking for something around 22-24m but am undecided if I should move to a flybridge yacht for the extra space, so I will look at both options over the next few months. Love your channel BTW.
@Luso Yachting I'm interested to see what you choose! You too have started a great channel and I look forward to seeing how you get on with the shipyard period.
Lastly I want thank for your good video. I forgot to say what we did on that super yacht. Some jackass ex crew member loosed all injector fuel rack adjustment knots on both 3516 engines and one broken linkage that we completely made in our ship machine shop. That was what we did as team work .if we couldn't find solution for them we could tow them with our soft rope.
I’m kind’a excited to land a job in the yacht industry, I hope to make it one day.
We was couple days ahead of our schedule (this is how works for vlcc vessel) and we helped them to run both engines. And head to their destination. If my memory services me well ship owner payed 36k for 36 hour hard work to me and my 3rd and 4th and transfer 💰 to my bank account when we didn't even finished our sea trial. In my perspective he was very good gentleman. But to be consideration to your topic there is always sharp eyes to judge and survey your talent and your output to pay you what you deserve. I think you could speculate and open wide tipping issue for this video.
I wait for your new vlogs! Very good explanations. Keep it up! ;)
Thank you Remus!
I love how you got to the point!
$300-$400 per day freelancing as a yacht chef on boats under 150ft
Hello Sue, and thank you for sharing your experience. Freelancing often gets the best daily rate; I think you could achieve a similar amount for a temp OOW position.
Hi! Loved the video! Would you guys be able to tell me how much does Guest Services Officer or Guest Services Operator make monthly as a new hire in those super yacht companies, such as Ritz Carlton? Thank you in advance!
hi..Matt it always good motivate ,,i also excited when listen to u ,how make money work by itself ,firstly i have to get a job and go through this covid 19 situation ,, I will be there to meet you real !!!
thank you ^^Pat
Thank you Pat! It's great to know that this video gave you some motivation.
would you recommend going into super yachts or into the commercial side e.g. cargo?
Very informative, Matt
Thanks, again!
Thanks Juan!
I got question before about handling international accounts for salary but I just gonna wait, good to know that you get a lot more topics on mind.
Overall, it's still quite an amount, getting on mind that you didn't actively earning money in 4 years so.. not bad!
I need to make a list with all questions / potential topics to ask, if you don't mind :)
Hi Robi. Yes, please do send me your questions whenever you're ready.
I got some time to prepare list - some of them are just simple questions, others like ideas for future content (I'm not afraid about quality of them and I didn't mean a new camera) or wider topics to explain:
- Could you describe a few first days of green crew onboard? How to survive those first days, what's the procedures for introduction.
- The same as above but for slightly more experienced crew.
- What crew obviously need to know beforehand but it is mostly hidden, like necessary knots for deckhands or tables preparing techniques for stewards/ess.
- What's the difference of work in different yachts, which aspects stays the same from one to another.
- idea for uploads - interviews (even over skype) with others members to share experience.
- Different SIM card for different countries or one international?
- Essential packaging for first job or dockwalking.
- Other sources of information about yachting than RUclips? Some forum or groups?
- Recruitment process, how long could it take, what new crew need to take care of when they get a contract, any tips for Skype interview?
- If away from the dock, which way is better to land a job, agencies or direct advertisements? Are agencies worth applying too?
- How insurance looks, is it necessary or how it works?
- Overall information about contact with guests or owners? What need to look at to not lose job quickly.
- The most common reasons for leaving the yacht or industry?
@Robi K Thank you for all these questions and ideas. It just so happens that this week's video is going to be about what you can expect from your first 24 hours on board a yacht. That shall answer a number of the points on your list. For everything else, I will prepare an answer for you.
Dude it’s 2022 and I want to know if you really applied for the yacht job and if so how did it go can you please share some Wisedom with me I have some questions that need answer thank you
You are giving great advice and information.... Love it. subscribed... Thank you 💟
Thank you khalsa, and welcome to the channel!
Very pragmatic advice..will be very valuable to newcommers. Thankyou.
Thanks for the feedback, Mike.
Very interesting. I would have loved to hear the number of hours a day you work, and if it's shifts and days a week etc.
Hello Split10. The maximum numbers of hours that you can work per day is 14. In addition, except for your holiday allowance which may be as little as 40 days per year, you could be asked to work every single day of the year. When viewed like this, the hourly rate is of course terrible! However, in practice most yachts will only enforce these working hours whilst there are guests on board. Some yachts have guests on board for 6+ months of the year, while others only have guests on board for a few weeks per year. Whilst there are no guests on board and the yacht is safely tied up in port, typical working hours are 0800-1700, Monday to Friday.
@@WorkonaSuperyachtbut since there's no one what do you do?
I'm excited to work on yacht someday how to apply to your company I'm currently 3/e in merchant vessel Tanker vessel and want to experience to work on yacht vessel hope you can give me a tips how to apply in yacht industry 🙏
Hello, I’m 21 and in my 3rd year in college. I want to join a super yacht crew when I graduate. Is there any way I could get some personal guidance from you. You seem very well informed, intelligent, and eager to help others get into the industry. I hope you’re willing to have some form of communication, have a great day!
Hello George. Yes, you can contact me on Instagram or by email at: workonasuperyacht@gmail.com
I'm very behind with my emails at the moment, so please excuse me if it takes a little while to get back to you.
Same here
Bro I hope you got the job you wanted at the yacht industry but it’s your turn to pass down some information to the younger generation I’m also in my 3rd year in collage and I was hoping you could enlighten me a little on how you applied in yacht industry 🛥
If only I'd known about this option 30 years ago.
A Question for you. Knowing that you are limited talking about you current vessel.
What can you tell us about it and is the crew shy as well or do they not want to be on a channel?
All I can say is you seem to respect your colleagues as they respect you.
Private/Charter, guest/owner on or off.
Hi Frank. I have asked the rest of the crew before now if they'd like to be in any of the videos, but they would rather not. I would really like to do some videos with the other departments, so I shall keep asking!
As for the yacht, she is very private and as a result I'd rather not say anything more than her length. I'm sorry that I can't satisfy your curiosity any further with respect to this, but it's important that I respect the owner's privacy.
As you can imagine, this all makes filming a little difficult sometimes; but, I shall continue to do what I can and give you all as much information as possible about my experience as a yacht crew member.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht 1 - What about the organizational structure of the crew, how do the one in charge determine what structure is required?
2 - Is there a method to deciding the structure?
3 - How does it work on your boat? Crew amount and structure including ranks? What ever information you can provide. You can always provide a fictitious answer that might reflect your yacht without us knowing.
Also I think your colleagues can assist you from the background either being camera person or providing you with ides and information about their position and their experience. I'm sure some do.
@Frank V Okay great, I can explain this for you!
The roles on board will be determined by a number of factors: Type of yacht (size, private or commercial etc.), the Owner's preferences, the Captain's preferences, and the management company.
Depending on the type of yacht, certain manning requirements must be adhered to. These will dictate what you might describe as the "core" crew member roles (or suitably qualified persons) that must be on board. For example, the need for a certain number of engineers, deck officers, or deck ratings. There may however be a little bit of flexibility here, because it often has more to do with the qualifications held by each crew member, rather than their specific job title. For example, it may be necessary to have someone on board (in addition to the Chief Engineer) with a certain engineering qualification, but that doesn't mean they have to be employed as a Second Engineer. They may instead be a deckhand, who holds the required qualification. This flexibility allows the Owner and Captain to decide which roles the crew will have outside of the "core" roles. I worked on one yacht where the Owner and Captain wanted a masseuse on board. A lot of times this might result in a stew/masseuse role; however, this yacht required additional crew members on the deck team, and so it was instead a deck/masseuse role.
On a yacht of the size that I work on, expect to find 7 or 8 crew members: Captain, Chief Engineer, 1st Officer/Mate, Chef, Chief Stew, 2nd Stew, and Deckhand. On a charter yacht of the same size it may be more like 8 or 9 crew members, with an additional Stew and Deckhand to account for the increased workload for service and water sports.
As a yacht increases in size this team is expanded to include additional Deck Officers, Engineers, Chefs, a greater variety of roles within the deck and interior departments, and additional Deckhands and Stews. Very large yachts may even include supernumeraries who work on the yacht but aren't considered part of the crew. This may be for roles such as a Helicopter Pilot, Bodyguard or Nanny.
There are so many possibilities and variables that it is difficult to give a single answer. I do hope that this gives you an idea of some of those possibilities.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thank you for taking the time in this elaborate answer,
Great info thank you!
Amazing stuff
Keep up the vids ...
Chef
Thank you so much for all the info :) Is it too late to start this career at 30? I want to start and work my way up like you mentioned.
Hello Hannah. No, it's not too late! I personally know 3 people in their early 30s who joined yachts as junior deckhands this summer.
If you want to do the same then now is the time to start. Once you get into your early 30s, finding entry level positions only gets more difficult as the years go by.
If you work on a yacht which is based, say in Antibes, are you expected to rent a flat nearby or is it optional ?
Hello Navigator. Permanent crew will live on the yacht. If the yacht is going to be based in one location for an extended period of time, a crew member may choose to rent a place. This will be at their own expense, and they may still have to stay on the yacht at least one night per week as watch keeper.
Would you recommend a working experience on the Bravo Channel Below Deck Series?
Warm greetings Matthew. Thanks for your very educative videos. I would love o know your thoughts regarding the age of the crew. Do you think I have options as deckhand while being 42 years old? I look like a 33 though.. Many thanks for your response.
thumbs up for info within first 10 seconds
hi matthew how are you brother Ive been watching your youtube channel and it been an inspiration for me to apply in yachting industries its my first time I have so much expirence regarding on this field of work matthew which manning agency you applying for thank you
Sir can ask something. What is the job of 1st engineer in yacht. Can you please detail with video. Thank you
Interesting job. God bless
What is the related course you must hold in order for you to get a job on super yacht?
As a minimum, all yacht crew must complete the STCW basic safety training courses and pass a seafarer's medical. For deckhands, a powerboat licence is also required, and the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course is most common here in Europe.
For stewards or stewardesses, the Food Safety & Hygiene Level 2 certificate will be needed.
If someone has a yachtmaster ocean rating but have never worked on a yacht, should they expect to start as a deckhand or would they start as a first officer?
Without any previous yachting experience, they would ideally spend some time working as a deckhand before stepping into an officer role. In addition, the YM Ocean qualification would only allow them to serve as an officer on yachts up to 500GT.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht sir can you help me and refer me in a yachting company based in europe? Please 🙏 I'm a hardworking filipino sir 27 years old
I hope and pray I can work on super yacht 🤗
Hi there, im in the South Africa Navy have been here for almost 17 years first on ships and now the last 5 years have been a seamanship and sail training instructor have done my naval qualifications all the way up to CBM course, my contrat in the SA Navy expires in 2025 June if I dont renew it, ill be 36 years old by then, can one still apply at age 36 and work lets say until your 50? Im extremely fit and healthy.
Very informative video Matthew! As mentioned before, I'm in the process of achieving my RYA tickets with the view of getting my Yachtmaster by the end of summer 2021 (in an ideal world). Presumably the STCW95 is the side requirement to work in the yachting industry? Looking forward to all your future content :)
Hello Maximilian! Yes I remember that you're working your way through the RYA qualifications. How is it going?
The STCW courses are the main requirement for working in the yachting industry. They used to be called STCW95, but they are in fact now called STCW2010 following a major amendment to them in 2010.
Thank you for your support!
Hello sir, any advice to how i can work as deck hand on your company? Im very interrested, thanks
I have worked as an Engine cadet for 1 year. How can i get into a superyacht as a trainee engineer
Great video, as always! :)
Thank you Damien! You said before that you worked on a smaller yacht. How do these salaries compare with your experience?
@@WorkonaSuperyacht yes, exactly! In both of my seasons I have been in a different situation compared to yours. The first one has been a land based position as I worked on a sailing cat doing day trips to the Great Barrier Reef. It was well paid, but I had my own apartment so I brought home about 1500 - 2400 euro /month, depending on the days. Great work/life balance! It also included pension contributions in Australia which I then cashed out.
My first proper superyacht I am working on right now has an Italian flag, so I'm paying contributions (tax and pension) and I end up earning 2000 euro / month. But I am eligible to unemployment benefits when I'm not working, so it makes up for the lower salary. It's also a charter yacht, so tips are there too! Great deal overall, but I want to scale up the size so that I can grow into a bosun role eventually. Your channel pushes me a lot Matthew, cheers for that!!
@Damien Naecker You've got a really interesting story and thank you for sharing it. It's a huge boost to know that someone with good experience is still getting lots of value from these videos. I hope to continue helping you towards reaching that goal of becoming a bosun.
Hi, great video! From your experience, do you see much demand for Personal Trainers, Paddleboard instructors or even Windsurfing instructors on the Yachts?
Hello Keith. Of the three, it is most likely that personal training experience would be specified in a job advert. However, paddleboard and windsurfing instructor qualifications (and experience) would also make you very employable as a member of deck crew. Water sports are a big part of the programme for many yachts, and these skills stand out on a CV. There is one water sports qualification in particular that is valuable to yachts, and that's the PWC instructor. If you have any experience with jet skis then this is highly recommended.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thank you so much for your insight. Super helpful. Could you recommend some good course providers to get my Deckhand qualification possibly?
@Keith Atkinson The only training providers I have experience with for basic STCW courses are UKSA on the Isle of Wight, and Fire Aid in Hythe. Both were very good, and I particularly enjoyed my time at UKSA. The main thing to look out for is that they are a recognised STCW training provider. After that, I'd be more likely to select one based on price, proximity, and availability.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thank you very much i'll look into those guys. I have been looking at Flying Fish too. Thanks again for your efforts with this channel, it's super helpful to newbies coming into the industry
What certification is neccesary to be Chief mate on yacht
Hey just wondering what type of radios you guys use in the industry. Are there vhf or uhf or nether. And do you need to bring your own radios or does the boat have some?
Hi Leo. For communicating with each other on board we use UHF radios. The yacht will supply you with a radio that has been programmed to work with all of the other crew radios. Just be careful not to lose or damage it, because they are often very expensive!
@@WorkonaSuperyacht awesome thanks
Hi thanks for the informations just a question i am 29 years old and i am going to study yacht captain is it a good idea or bad after all this year that i have lost with accounting 🤦♂️🤦♂️
If you're already a chief mate in the maritime sector can I be directly a chief mate on a young with master all ships paper?
Hello Imanol PP. If I understand correctly, you have a master unlimited qualification? This should be recognised, but if it wasn't issued by the MCA I'd suggest confirming with them directly. If you scroll to the bottom of the following link you will find all of the relevant email addresses:
www.gov.uk/government/organisations/maritime-and-coastguard-agency
The next consideration is previous experience. A chief mate position on a superyacht will be very different to what it is on other types of ships. As a result, yachts will often prioritise yacht-specific experience when looking for candidates. It may therefore be necessary to start off in a lower ranking position to gain this experience, before working your way back up.
Why shouldn't you discuss your salary with colleagues? In my opinion this only comes with benefits.
Hello Gidgy, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. In my experience, discussing salaries with colleagues can lead to jealousy and resentment, which are only magnified on a yacht. The pay scales for yacht crew are well publicised, so crew members should know what the going rate is for their position and level of experience.
how to apply crew Yacht we are completed valid documents...
Does this exclude tips?
Hello Heather. Yes, the salaries that I list in this video are excluding tips; however, the majority of these yachts were private so there weren't any tips to include.
Why they are not taking Indian crew
Hello Dear how are you!!! I hope greattt
Iv' got a question.... if can you reply....
I have some tattoos visible, can I work in the industry?
I saw so many pictures... blogs... but no one says about tattos...
Hello Mayra! I'm very well, thank you. This is a commonly asked question. For some yachts, crew with visible tattoos aren't an option; however, for other yachts it's not so much of an issue (provided that the tattoos aren't offensive). I have worked with a number of crew who had visible tattoos, so I wouldn't let it stop you from trying to get started in the industry. Just concentrate on highlighting all of your skills and value, but be prepared that there may be some job opportunities which aren't available to you.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thank you !!! I really appreciate to your answer .. I work on cruiseship ... i thought could be more easier with good reports.. so and so
... thnak you!!!
Hello sir ,I am from Nepal and i have given CV in xyz company which is Yatch . So i think the interview may be held in anyday. Captain will call me . I am very nervous . Please write some of the questions that is frequently asked 😥😥 . I am very nervous as it is first time. I just finished my Bachelor in hotel management . And with the help of my unlce i found this job .
Hello! Congratulations on getting an interview. From my experience, phone interviews usually start with them telling you a bit about the yacht and the position on offer. They want to hear that you are excited about the opportunity and that you are willing to commit to them for a good period of time. If you know the name of the yacht then it would be worth finding out a bit about it so that you can demonstrate your interest.
As for specific questions that you might get asked, there are no set rules. Expect to be asked about your experience to date and make sure you demonstrate how your skills are transferrable to a yacht. With a bachelor degree in Hotel Management, this should hopefully be quite easy to do. Also, try and show that you have an awareness of what it will be like to work on a yacht and that you are ready to rise to the challenges.
Remember that an interview is also a chance for you to evaluate whether the position is suitable, so have some of your own questions ready to ask. If nothing else, it shows that you are well prepared and interested.
As best you can for an interview (I know it's not easy), relax and be yourself. The Captain is just trying to make sure that you have the competence (and qualifications) to perform the duties required of the role on offer; a good work ethic; and, a personality that will allow you to fit in with the rest of the crew on board. If you can tick all of these boxes then you should have a very good chance of being hired for the job.
Good luck and please do let us know how you get on.

Ok Sir👍👍
what about yacht nurse or medic?
Hello Benjamin. Nurse or medic roles are often dual roles, for example deckhand/medic or stew/nurse. I don't know what the average salaries are for these positions, but I'd expect them to be worked out from the base salary of a deckhand or stew (EUR 2500 - EUR 3000 per month), plus extra for the added responsibility of being the nurse or medic. Exact salaries will be vary depending on the yacht in question, and could be extremely good for a nurse or medic who has been with the same owner for a long time.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht how would one go about getting onto a boat. I'm totall green to the world of yachting but in medicine, I am well established and well versed.
@benjamin peacock You would need to start by doing your STCW 2010 basic courses, and getting an ENG1 seafarer's medical. As I said before, a lot of yacht medic jobs are dual roles. You should therefore decide if you'd prefer to work on deck, or as a steward on the interior. Each speciality requires a different skill set, which I cover in my, "How to get a job on a yacht with no experience" video:
ruclips.net/video/CTFYzlqaNZk/видео.html
I'd recommend targeting much bigger yachts (70 metres +) because they are much more likely to require a medic on board. In addition, ensure that yacht crew agents know your speciality is medicine.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht thank you so much for your response. I have done some looking online but unfortunately most of these are requesting seasoned staff or at least 1 year of yachting experience.
@benjamin peacock If you can prove how skilled and experienced you are as a medic, they may be willing to take someone with less (or even no) yachting experience. If not, it might be necessary to start as a deckhand only. Competition for junior deckhand positions is high, but spending a year or two doing this could pay off very well for you in the long run.
I’m 16 and ready
A lot of people don't join this industry until their mid to late twenties, so I'm excited to see what can be achieved by getting started early on. Good luck!
I think the first R1 000 000 (€52 000) is exempt from tax in South Africa.
Thanksgiving for the little motivational speech. 👊
Hi Mika. Thanks for getting in touch with this. Do you know what the rate of tax is after the first million?
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Income tax is not applicable on the first R1.25 mil (€65 000). 🙈
A South African can pay up to 45% to the tax man for income tax.
The tax system in South African is crazy!
@Mika Ruthven Interesting. 45% is also the top rate of income tax in the UK, for any earnings over £150,000.

Bro i want work at yacht
Terrible hourly wages however their's virtually ZERO living expenses.

I wonder what are the ranks for stewardess?
Hello Daria. This will depend on the size of yacht, but on the larger yachts you could expect to find the following stewardess/steward roles:
Junior stew - Stew - Head of Housekeeping - Third Stew - Second Stew - Chief Stew.
There may also be a dedicated laundry stew and the role of Purser is often a natural progression from any of the more senior stew positions.
For any roles that I may have missed, please forgive me. If anyone has any additions then please do add them here.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thank you for answear very much :)
@@WorkonaSuperyacht According to " www.luxyachts.com/crewpositions/interior " they mention a few more. I've seen more titles such as interior manager, head of service.

Hello Scott. You don’t have to buy a house or car if you don’t want to. I haven’t owned a car since I was about 20 years old! And of course during your holidays you can always use hotels and Airbnbs, or stay with friends and family. But in time it’s normal for someone to want to put down some roots and have a house to call their own.

I'm sorry but this is no different than any other "start at the bottom" type of job that most of us have experienced
The money, because it's tax free is probably the only good thing in the industry. Don't be fooled people. You will have no time to yourself other than when you are legally allowed under MLC rules to rest 6 hours within a 24hr period. And thats IF the boat follow the rules.. (they don't).
You will always be watched by the captain and if you so much as need to drink water in the 30degree heat or more you'll have to explain that. Moreover if you need a shit/ use the toilet, you'll probably also be midway through that process when your walkie talkie will go off. Calling you back to go do more intense heavy lifting in the burning heat.
If you work out the hours of a standard job and worked the amount of hours you'd do on a boat, the pay would not be that far off. And even if it is much higher, you are giving away your freedom and sense of self. Giving up basic human rights infact.
The only people winning are the owners of the yachts. And you'll have plenty of time to witness that.
Good luck if anyone is wanting to work in this industry but its all a facade.
This is coming from someone who read the horror stories and thought "how hard can it be" but with also the right mental attitude prepared for it. Mentally you may be able to do it but then you still have the physical aspects. Your body may not even be able to do the work. Not at the intensity that is expected of you from the captain and owners
Try starting a day at 7am and work solid throughout the day until 2am next day then get up at 7again. Oh and work solid, I mean lifting heavy water gear, packs of water, luggage, anything heavy you can think of.. yep you'll be moving it everywhere constantly and with the sun burning you alive at the same time
Hello Zombie. I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience working as a yacht crew member. I certainly don't agree that you should have to explain yourself for stopping to take a drink of water. Nor is it right that you should have been made to work from 0700 until 0200 without stopping. However, this isn't representative of the industry.
I've worked on many yachts in the role of deckhand and never once encountered such conditions. I was always encouraged to drink plenty of water, eat lots of food, and wear enough sunscreen to keep me from burning. In addition, my hours of rest were closely monitored by the officers to ensure that I was well rested. On that note, the rules actually stipulate at least 10 hours of rest in any 24 hour period.
To your other points about having to work long days under the sun, lift water toys in and out of the water, carry luggage, and generally just do a solid day's work: that is the life of a deckhand when guests are on board. It isn't for everyone, but for those who enjoy manual work it's actually far preferable to less physically intense jobs. In addition, it should be noted that this is not for 365 days a year. In fact, on some yachts it may only be for 60 days of the year, and when there are no guests on board working hours are typically 0800 to 1700, Monday to Friday. This gives you plenty of time to explore your surroundings, take some holiday, and recover from all that hard work you put in. It also gives you the opportunity to work on gaining qualifications, which will in time allow you to move up the ranks, take on more responsibility, and ensure that your deckhands are well looked after.
I am not trying to sell this career to you or anyone else. My only goal is to help those who do decide to pursue a career in yachting make the most of it. Nevertheless, I take exception to your comment trying to deter anyone from working on yachts due to terrible working conditions and a lack of basic human rights. There may be some badly managed yachts out there, but to try and discredit the whole industry with your limited experience is completely uncalled-for.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Hi again, if its a private vessel, does the boat have to comply with MLC laws, in relation to 10 hours off in 24hr period?
I can, I ll apply as soon as possible sir,i m already in merchant navy,there is any possibility to apply for that?
@@alanamaladhass2346 of course. Just dock walk or get on Facebook groups and look for private yachts
Get paid in bitcoin.
I've no doubt it will be an option one day!
Super annoying talking. Thank you!
God, I could not finish this. The way you start and stop speaking throughout a sentence is completely annoying. I'd rather listen to the sound of a gas lawnmower.
