I enjoyed your KZbin posting. I've watched these private yacht postings for a couple of years and always laugh at how times have changed. I'm 87. During my teens my friend and I used to hang around at a marina in New York. We'd offer to wash down yachts for $10.00 each. Sometimes we would crew on a Saturday or Sunday for about $20.00. This was the 1950s and ten and 20 bucks was good money. One day the captain, a retired WW2 destroyer captain, asked us if we'd be willing to crew on the yacht from NY to Montreal and return for $100.00 each. WoW! Absolutely. We did and had a ball. The owner was a man in the Broadway theater business and his guests were people in the business. Everyone tipped us at the end of the trip. We had no course, no schooling, just a couple of Coast Guard courses. I'll bet most crews in those times did not have licenses of any kind. What we did have was a great teacher and hard work. Keep posting as your posts are marvelous.

[@bahoonies]

Very interesting video. Two of my nieces worked on superyachts and for the most part loved it. Thd only bad experience one had was working on the vessel of a Russian billionaire who was so unpleasant he couldn’t keep crew. The other niece married the first officer of her last ship. When the owners heard about the coming marriage, they gave her a £5000 bonus and the wife loaned her the most beautiful diamond jewellery to set off her wedding dress. There was a very warm, family feeling on board the ship. When they had their first baby, my niece retired. Her husband now captains a superyacht in the Mediterranean.

One thing to consider aside from pay is the breadth of experience you expect to gain from your role as on smaller vessels you will be more of a generalist while bigger yachts tend to have more standardized/specialized roles. Also smaller yachts and sailing yachts can either feel slightly more casual or appear less flexible regarding your work hours (as there are less colleagues to share the work load with) so make sure to find a yacht where you blend in and like the culture aboard.

You UK as an example when getting your pay, but did the 2700 cover all employer fees, social security, pension and taxes that in Finland come above a salary and are about 30-40% of gross salary.

[@Chimie33]

@@Dogasaurus No, but if i as a Finnish yacht owner pay a Finn the salary of 2700 as an employer I also have pay his pensions and side costs which amount on top of the 2700 at about 35%. So my question is, does that also happen if I have English crew? Or do I just pay the 2700 and that is it.

[@andgay01]

@@Chimie33 I am a Danish Seafarer in the merchant marine, sailing containerships. European employers pays 8-12% off your salary towards pension, you can then personally choose to increase that out of your own salary. As far as i know, social security is payed through pesonal tax, not by the employer, but since we dont pay personal tax when you are a seafarer, the 2700 is "money in hand" what you will get on your bank account. The no tax, only applies if you sail internationally and live more than 180 days on board the ship.

@@Chimie33 Still seems like a better question for a Finnish tax attorney. The vid is about monthly salary averages from a worker perspective, not business costs in that unique situation.

[@brolohalflemming7042]

Complicated question. I'm not an accountant, or a superyacht owner but have contracted abroad a lot. So I think it would depend on the nationality of the hiring company. So if you're hired by the yacht, it's flag nation, if through a management company, where they're based. As employer, they would have the responsibility to pay or deduct whatever taxes and benefits that country requires. So if you were an employee of a Finnish yacht or company, that 30-40% of gross would apply. Then you also have individual tax liability based on your nationality. So like he said, if you're British, it may be tax free, if you're American taxes on offshore income might be payable. It gets complicated, and having dealt with stuff like this, along with double taxation, you really need to speak with an accountant that understands the rules. There are also gotchas, like flying home with a wad of tips cash and having that seized if you don't declare it. Same can happen with expensive watches, jewellry etc that might have import duty.

Something I always wondered is if the super wealthy can buy a yacht/giant boat and go anywhere they want? Like there are certain remote islands that are techinally wild life reserves but they obviously have no security to stop someone getting on the island. Like for instance if I'm a billionaire could I get a boat or yacht to visit "Wrangler Island" (last place mammoths existed, highest concentration of polar bears) stay there for a few days collecting mammoth tusks then come back home? Are there any actual risk involved?

Hi Captain. Regarding the 7 day work week which (I believe?) contravenes the International Labor Convention stating that employees are entitled to 1 rest day in a 7 day period, are rests days not taken (due to the demands of owners/guests) paid at the end of the month/contract?

[@mukkaar]

That depends, that's why people on these kinds of jobs that require staying at workplace for extended amount of time get a lot of time off after being at work for long time. This is how most off shore work is like, as are some other jobs that are on land, but maybe bit remote or require very quick action. I don't know how this works legally, but these jobs are not uncommon so there's definitely rules for it.

I do not get the "even if you're not working you're getting paid" sentence. When you're ON the boat you're working much much more than average! Which is kinda compensated with rotating shifts and then being home for a longer period. WRT real hours made, working this way does not differ a LOT wrt a let's say 9-5job with some overtime. A friend of mine is a sr. services officer (ie foods and hotellerie etc.) with HAL. And I know his hours when he's on the boat are crazy. I mean with a 'normal' job you also get paid for the weekends you do not work right?!

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

I hold the opinion that all crew members are obligated to adhere to the stipulated regulations outlined in the MLC 2006 (Maritime Labour Convention) regarding hours of work and rest, irrespective of their rotation status. Although I have not personally experienced a rotation schedule, I have consistently operated on a seven-day workweek during charter seasons, often with consecutive charters. It is evident that crew members on rotation enjoy significantly more time off compared to those without rotation schedules.

[@ArthurvanH0udt]

⁠@@SuperYachtCaptainyeah but even MLC2006 allows formally for 72h work in a week! That is what IMHO also gets (partly) compensated with the long(ish) off board time.

[@Sandhoeflyerhome]

Have you ever wondered what the length of the yacht has to do with pay? It’s all about how rich the owner is, so how much one can ask for with out sounding greedy. The logic being if you only own a smaller shorter yacht then clearly your pockets are not so deep. Once you take that out of the equation you come back to merit based pay. For example, let’s say on the smallest yacht - are the crew worth less, are they incapable ? Less qualified less able, less trustworthy? Are they lazy ? Do they work fewer hours ? On the larger yacht do the crew work harder ? No is the answer. So the size of the yacht is simply a measure of how rich the owner is. Imagine this logic applied to other industries ? Other expenditures … does a rich man pay more for an Apple ? More for petrol more for road tax ? If I were rich and owned a large yacht I am sure it by itself would be a nicer place to work, so should the crew take that into account.. should the owner ?

[@AB-ol5uz]

No - the length of the boat has a direct correlation to the complexity of the operation - the size of the crew, the number of guests on board for longer trips, the size of parties when docked if they like to entertain, the amount of boat to keep clean, the amount of supplies to keep organized/stocked, the level of effort to dock/leave harbor, the amount of mechanical equipment to maintain, etc.

[@Sandhoeflyerhome]

@@AB-ol5uz Imagine if that logic applied elsewhere? For example the much much more complex business of Captaining an airliner with 22 crew and 580 passenger whilst flying along and navigating at 600 miles per hour? Fact is you can only steer one wheel large or small, the navigation is the same, organizing shifts (watches) the same, in fact you may not be aware, crew changes occur on long haul flights. Finally, let’s assume you were paid nothing, would you still be able to function ? So what is pay? You do it because you can and you sell your services for as much as someone is willing to pay, it’s a market. Another example, if your pay was doubled would that make the boat faster or safer? So the link between ship length and pay is not fixed and is arbitrary and imaginary. I bet I could employ the complete crew for 25 percent less, all with the same experience and qualifications. My point from my first comment is still valid, a larger boat usually means a richer owner, who would more readily afford to pay more, it’s a market. Finally it is vanity to think the captain of a 100 meter yacht is better than one captaining a 40 meter yacht. You argue, cleaning the yacht, stocking and controlling such and docking, warrants more pay. How much more difficult is it to say to the chef ok stock up for 10 days on a small boat compared to a large boat ? It is just volume, 20 cases of wine or 50 as a-pose to 12, none of which the captain humps up the gang plank. ! Finally, the captain does not maintain a single piece of machinery or equipment, that’s what engineers are paid to do. I say you are quite vane and easily replaced.

Sometimes its a % of fee, sometimes its the spare budget on the APA, sometimes its just a cash amount decided by the guests, or some combination of those... 15-25% of the base charter shared among the crew is a not uncommon sort of value for a yacht thats really on its game and chartering well...

Do go and check out motor yacht Loon regularly one of the top charter yachts who have a tremendous and professional crew and who have embraced social media in a big way, they have a resident social media guy who also produces guest videos. Both their head chefs who work rotation also have their own YT channels. If I had a spare million or so lying around for a weeks holiday I’d charter that boat in a flash. Hope this has helped but just my own thoughts no doubt others will have there own ideas

Amazing. I earn 14k euros a month but a lot goes to mortgage, taxes, and food. Work maybe 35 hrs a week but 20k in pocket every month sounds life changing

[@smithers4420]

Nice low key brag there lol. Most people have to pay taxes, mortgage and food and most people do it without 14k per month. Most people would find 14k per month before expenses life changing and you know it.

[@jonasf4065]

@@smithers4420 Lol. Low key brag. Many in my area earn 20-25k a month. 14k life changing? Not when your mortgage is $3000 a month and your property tax is $21,000 per year. Lets not even discuss insurances, gas, food in area,..

so I will have to wait till the captain is AI and skeleton crew is optimum/tesla robots

Only $2,700 or € a months? That salary only benefits some kid with absolutely no expenses. Which I guess is why I see very kids in those positions. That's a tough one. Definitely not for someone who just got married.

[@woofolliesmydog8628]

That’s the starting salary! So yes, designed for those who are young and inexperienced. You work up from there.

How about the chef?

Must be on call, it's your life. Definitely not for everyone

[@matthewross2236]

Most of my colleague captains are making 100 euros per foot per month. . .

[@Sandhoeflyerhome]

That is such a con.

What if you happen to grow up around boats? I can dock anything. I even told the navy I could pilot their aircraft carrier. They wouldn't let me, being a Marine and all.
