At YPI CREW they witnessed an important increase in the number of job orders across all departments in 2021 and more crew were connected with their dream careers.

especially retain qualified and experienced crew, salaries and scheduled leave have become an important part of the negotiation process with increased competition for the best all-round package.
How to use the data presented here The table has been drawn up with the information collated with figures from the past year within various YPI CREW departments. Please note that they are an indication only of starting salaries currently on offer.
Many elements need to be taken into consideration with regards to yacht crew salaries and not just the size of the yacht. The type of yacht (motor or sail) , its usage (private, charter or both) and the cruising schedule will all influence the salary offered.
Additionally, key elements of the candidate’s profile must also be reviewed, what is their previous experience, how long have they been in a particular role, have they recently acquired a new qualification, and do they
have a specialised skill set that will influence the salary and packages negotiation?
The shaded sections in the tables correspond to yachts who offer a scheduled leave or rotational package.
Salaries here need to be modulated in accordance with the type of rotation offered, 5:1; 3:1 or 2:2 for example. There may be several different rotational schemes on a particular yacht, 5:1 for the junior crew, 3:1 for the intermediary position and full rotation for positions of responsibility. The rotational salary is generally only a reduced monthly reduction (between 10 and 20%) and allows for a larger pool of candidates who are fully committed to the yacht, its programme and owner.
For many key roles, professional qualifications are the basis to establishing a guideline salary, notably in the Engineering and Officer’s Department.
