A Day In The Life…Superyacht Pilot!
- October 25, 2022
by Jim Mackay
While there are no reliable numbers, published estimates suggest there are approximately 300 yachts around the world capable of safely supporting helicopter operations. During the summer of 2018, I was fortunate enough to fly from a 50-meter (164-foot) private yacht. The couple who owned the boat are both certificated helicopter pilots, although the husband was no longer actively flying and the wife had fewer than 500 hours total time. My 150-day contract included flying with and instructing the wife – in a meticulously maintained Bell BH-206LIV LongRanger. The cruise plan included departing Seattle, WA on May 1 st to cruise the Inside Passage and Gulf of Alaska, then returning to the Seattle-area at the end of September .
When I first saw the position listed on www.VerticalReference.com and contacted the boat owner’s aviation manager, he already had another pilot under consideration. I thanked the manager, indicated I was flexible, available, and if the situation changed, asked him to keep me in mind. A couple of weeks later, after the other pilot withdrew, the manager called and said because I had been responsive and professional, he wanted to invite me to Seattle to interview and meet the owners. The interview went very well and I was contracted for the duration of the cruise.
Superyacht flying contracts may include a variety of arrangements. Mine stipulated $450 per day with no benefits. Room and board, uniforms, and travel expenses (to meet the boat in Seattle and return home to Boston at the conclusion of the contract), were also included. At the time I had around 200-hours of BH-206 time but was not current in one. So, I fronted $6,500 for a two-day, -206LIV refresher course and negotiated into my contract the cost would be reimbursed as an expense upon successful completion of the cruise. Onboard, I was not required to complete any duties except those related to flying the helicopter. In fact, the deck crew untied and secured the aircraft for flight operations, washed it, and refueled it (from the 1,000-gallon micro-filtrated Jet A supply onboard). During the course of the summer, we flew once every week or two. About once a week, at the request of the owner, I taught a ground lesson in the main salon or dining room. When not flying or instructing, my time was my own. When we were alongside a dock, after coordinating with the Captain and signing out, I was free to depart the boat and only had to return prior to the scheduled departure time.
Life aboard the boat:
The crew was amazing! Several became friends and our lives continue to intersect. In mid-2019, I airlined to Ohio, joined our boat’s Engineer – a student pilot at the time – and had a great adventure flying a Cessna CE-172 he purchased back to Port Angeles, WA in two days. In February, 2020, the senior deckhand left the boat, returned to England, and is actively pursuing his Commercial helicopter pilot certificate. In August 2020, I briefly reunited with the owner and crew at the Auke Bay, Alaska marina during their August 2020 cruise.
My accommodations aboard were very nice! The day prior to departure, when I first boarded, the Captain offered me a choice of spacious and comfortable guest cabins, instead of berthing me in the much smaller crew spaces.
Of course, put any nine people in a confined space for months at a time, and there will be conflicts and irritations. Working out in the onboard gym, watching a movie in my cabin, or getting off the boat for a walk and meal in town usually put things in perspective.
About two weeks after departing Seattle, when the crew joined the owners ashore for a formal dinner at a resort they had visited on previous cruises, I volunteered to stand anchor watch. Within 30 minutes of the crew departing, the winds off the bow increased to more than 35 knots, the shoreline beginning to move forward in the bridge windows, and the GPS plot appeared to indicate we were dragging the anchor. I texted a picture of the GPS plot to the Captain and spoke with him on the radio. Along with the Boatswain and the Senior Deckhand, they returned to the boat in time to hoist and reset the anchor to keep us off the rocks. No longer the “new guy”, I felt like quick decision making and timely communication cemented my place on the crew.
The food was amazing! Our incredibly talented chef prepared lunch and dinner each day and the meals usually included two or three choices for main dishes. Burger Wednesdays were highly anticipated and fixings for the Kobe ground beef included avocado, fried eggs, bacon, etc. One of our chef’s favorite sayings was; “bacon is like duct tape – it fixes everything.” Since we were cruising Alaskan waters, once the anchor dropped, many days the chef fished or dropped crab pots off the stern and dinner would include seafood not more than a few hours out of the water. Once a week the chef cleaned out the crew refrigerator and we would have leftovers night. Although he would combine and reimagine the food in delicious ways so it never felt like we were eating leftovers. Hungry between meals? The Head Stewardess always kept the crew pantry stocked with water, soda, Gatorade, juice, and both healthy and not-so-healthy snacks.
Life on the yacht:
I usually dropped my laundry off on my way to the 0700 crew meeting. Each morning the Captain, Engineering, Flight, Deck, and Interior departments spent about 15 minutes reviewing the plan for the day. After the meeting and breakfast, I would clean up my cabin and bathroom, changing linens according a schedule posted by the Chief Stewardess (yes, “Yachties” still use that term).
I was accustomed to operating in in austere environments overseas including Angola and Iraq, so I came prepared to be self-sufficient. I brought a travel printer and small bag of office supplies. These were not necessary. Of the six printers on board, I had network access to at least three. The Stewardesses maintained an administrative space stocked with all manner of office supplies.
Because we were cruising north of Seattle and often anchored in deep, narrow fjords, satellite Wi-Fi could be slow or non-existent – certainly there was not enough bandwidth to stream movies. Our talented ship’s Engineer managed the yacht’s IT network and entertainment system including a movie server with thousands of titles loaded. Most of the time onboard Wi-Fi was adequate for email, paying bills, and light browsing. Every two to eight days, we would tie up to a dock for anywhere from a few hours to three days, in order to refuel or reprovision the boat. When on a dock near a town big enough to include a McDonald’s, public library, or a bar, I would often walk there to use free, higher speed Wi-Fi to update iPhone and iPad apps, as well as the Garmin helicopter navigation databases as required.
Flight operations:
During my Air Force career, I had trained for shipboard operations while flying a MH-53J/M Pave Low. While flying for Chevron off the coast of Angola, I had landed on pitching, rolling, and heaving oil tankers. Based on my background, I approached this position with questions about the operating environment and limitations. Although the aft sundeck on the yacht was smaller than anything on which I had landed, we never conducted flight operations in open water or underway, so the deck was always steady with no pitch, or heave. Once we got the aircraft started, in light wind conditions even at idle the torque of the helicopter would cause the yacht to slowly swing around the anchor. In stronger winds, the boat would weathervane. If we wanted to avoid superstructure-induced turbulence, I radioed the Captain to request positioning thrusters in the hull hold the bow steady about 30 degrees off the wind so we could takeoff or land directly into a headwind.
Aircraft Mx:
The size and position of the helideck did not allow for preflight inspection of the tail boom or tail rotor. Several times during the five-month cruise, when we landed ashore for a picnic, refueling, or during one of a couple of training flights, I took the opportunity to inspect the tail and the check gearbox oil level. Although we had a plan to fly a mechanic to a mid-season marina visit to complete a periodic inspection, it turned out not to be necessary. We flew 18.4 hours during the five months of the cruise and the deck crew and I were diligent about keeping the aircraft clean and protected. When I flew the aircraft to the hangar following the cruise, the aviation manager said it had never been in better condition following a cruise.
The 2018 cruise was a great entrance to the exclusive environment of superyacht flying and has led to additional opportunities. The owner has invited me to continue flying and instructing with her, as well as to join the boat for future cruises as my schedule allows.

Helicopter Pilots & Superyachts
. One of the questions we regularly get asked is whether there are specific piloting requirements for landing a helicopter on a yacht and are there particular aspects a pilot must be aware of.
The helicopter landing area on a superyacht is known as a ‘shipboard heliport’ which has unique features that can create challenges even for the most experienced pilots. First and foremost, the ‘shipboard heliport’ is hosted on a seagoing vessel which is subjected to variable winds and sea state which causes the yacht to pitch and roll and heave and yaw, so effectively it’s a moving target, so not like land-based heliports or those on offshore fixed installations, such as oil and gas rigs. In addition, the shipboard heliport will generally be a confined area, close to the vessel superstructure which can, in itself, create additional wind turbulence for the pilot to deal with.
Pilots operating to and from shipboard heliports must also ensure that the vessel has undertaken their own ‘preparations for flying’. One particular aspect of this preparation is to ensure ‘FOD plods’ have been carried out. A FOD plod means to walk round and carry out a visual inspection, removing any ‘foreign object debris’ on or around the shipboard heliport that shouldn’t be there, and which has the potential to cause damage to the helicopter.
FOD includes all loose articles, such as furniture, cushions, towels, bottles and glasses, books and papers, covers and awnings, and any other type of paraphernalia which is not bolted down, and which must be removed or mechanically secured so that the down wash from the main rotors does not draw these items up into the main rotors causing a catastrophic accident.
It's worth noting, a FOD plod is not limited to the shipboard heliport on a yacht. Other decks and open areas on the yacht must be prepared and checked as the down wash from a helicopter does not stop at the shipboard heliport where it lands and takes off, but travels down stairwells and along corridors, so it is very important to ensure other deck areas are checked to prevent damage to the helicopter as well as precious and often expensive items from being blown overboard and ending up in the water.

2023/2024 Superyacht Crew Salary Guide
Whether you’re continuing a long-standing career, climbing the career ladder, or getting your feet wet for the first time, Dockwalk ’s Salary Guide provides the full picture when it comes to crew compensation.
Salary is generally one of the top motivators for those looking for jobs in yachting, but it remains a closely guarded secret. Each year, the Dockwalk Salary Survey goes out to thousands of crewmembers and crew agencies across the world, gathering real-time salary feedback with the aim of creating greater transparency and understanding across the industry.
The 2024 Salary Survey is now closed. Check out the results in the September 2024 issue.
The Results of the 2023 Salary Survey
Our annual salary survey provided some unprecedented insights to what captains and crew earned in 2023.
The yachting industry is slowly returning to normal in the wake of the pandemic. Yachts are back to work around the world and many new ones are in the pipeline thanks to the surge in popularity the "social distant" yachting lifestyle has enjoyed. But, while this return to normalcy has opened up new crew jobs this year, crew themselves have been returning to the workplace in large numbers and competition has been fierce.
Many of the crew agents reported that crew wages largely are flat this year compared to last. Salaries went up in 2021 and 2022 when crew were in short supply, but now more crew are available than previously. While crew are demanding higher pay this year, they’re not necessarily receiving it, but some agents have seen salaries continue to rise since Covid. There are many factors that can affect the salary crew can expect, including where a yacht is based and the season.
The tables below show the “agency range,” which gives the average lows and highs of all ranges provided by the agencies, the “poll range,” where results from individual working captains and crew are tallied to show the lowest and highest of all the responses, and the “poll average” calculated from all the responses. Note that our figures do not account for longevity and experience, crew benefit packages, tips, or similar extra remuneration.
Not all positions with corresponding boat sizes had enough poll responses to be considered significant; those categories are marked with an asterisk to indicate if fewer than five crew responded in that size range for that position. Several categories had no or only one response, which is also noted.

Has your superyacht helicopter got you in a spin?
.png "superyacht helicopter pilot salary")
Serving as everything from a toy to a serious mode of transport for charter guests, a helicopter is high up on the wish-list for many yacht owners. But, playing host to the most complex of flying machines on board comes with more challenges than owners and captains might expect.
A post shared by @yachthelicopters on Oct 2, 2017 at 8:39am PDT
This is a compromise that all but the largest vessels face when trying to accommodate a landing area and the deck space it inevitably eats into (there goes your tender spot). Small yachts with a helicopter squeezed onto the aft sun deck are unlikely to pass muster for commercial flight operations due to the lack of margin for pilot error which may leave them being of little use.
The rules have changed
Nigel Watson of Luviair explains that things are changing for owners who want to fly themselves on board.
Changes in legislation recently introduced should be considered by private owner pilots flying larger helicopters to ensure that the way they have flown in the past will remain appropriate under the new rules. The trend is towards rules and regulations that are more restrictive for the private pilot flying a complex helicopter. – Nigel Watson, Luvicair
Those vessels where a helicopter is integral to daily charter operations are increasingly built with a flag state approved landing area. The upshot is a significant increase in operational capability, due to landings and take-offs being much safer, whilst the downside is an almost certain impact on the yacht’s aesthetic – it’s hard to disguise a helipad!
A post shared by Dean Harrison Videography (@theyachtchef) on May 22, 2017 at 1:29am PDT
Crew are going to need specialist training (no sh*t)
When it comes to crew, any skipper worth his salt will employ a specialist helicopter consultancy to train and equip his team in safe helicopter operations. The Squadron , founded by former US naval aviator Daniel Deutermann, provides this service as well as specialist flight training for pilots. Once trained, crew responsibility for deck operations will be with the yacht’s designated Helicopter Landing Officer (HLO) whilst other crew members provide a firefighting detail and assistance to passengers- a serious training commitment for any yacht and one that must be kept current. In some cases, crew are also trained to refuel aircraft, greatly increasing the usability of the aircraft, but adding the safe bunkering of aviation fuel to the list of challenges faced on board.
The owner may want to fly it
When trained pilot owners decide they want to fly helicopters onto their yacht, the boundaries are more ambiguous. There is no legal requirement for the pilot to hold the commercial helicopter licence professional pilots must have or the landing area to be certified; regardless, the crew should be prepared.
There are three main recommendations when it comes to helicopter operations on yachts, an operations manual that has been vetted for content and evaluated for use aboard that specific yacht, formal crew training, ideally with live-flying exercises involved, and a formal risk assessment undertaken by a specialist third party. – Dan Deutermann, The Squadron
Did we mention space (it’s a big deal)?
When it comes to equipping a yacht with a helicopter and landing area, there are minimum standards to be considered too. “The deck should be of an appropriate size, free of obstacles, strong enough to take the dynamic loads of the helicopter under a heavy landing condition, and equipped for any incident that is likely to occur in the event of an accident,” explains Nigel Watson. “The helicopter should be fit for purpose, have ample power reserves, and be equipped for overwater operations.”
A post shared by @yachthelicopters on Jun 5, 2017 at 7:48am PDT
Let’s be honest, they’re handy to have
So, operational considerations tackled, helicopter purchased, landing area certified, crew trained and pilot employed; what’s on offer to the owner and guests? Well, actually quite a lot. At the top end of the market, a twin-engine aircraft (single engine models can only fly in fine weather) will be capable of flying guests up to 600nm from the vessel, in poor visibility, during daylight hours. Transfers to and from land take minutes, whilst those mid-charter arrivals between ports are a logistical nightmare for the captain no longer.
A post shared by Henry Smith (@theyachtguymonaco) on Jan 28, 2015 at 5:42am PST
Inherently complex, but indispensable to owners and guests a well-run helicopter operation takes a yacht to the next level of operational capability.

Superyacht Captain salary survey 2023 18 December 2023
captain salary survey crew salary survey superyacht captain superyacht salaries yacht captain
In our biggest salary survey yet, we have uncovered detailed insights into Superyacht Captain salary and leave packages.
Almost 300 Captains responded across a range of yacht sizes from sub-30m to 100m+. In addition to average pay and leave, pay rise and bonus activity, the 20+ page report also compares Captain and Chief Officer experience, ticket level, longevity onboard and comparisons to our 2020 and 2022 survey findings.
Some top-level statistics are:
- Every yacht bracket has seen a salary rise since 2020 and 2022.
- Full rotation is also increasing and becoming more prevalent on sub-50m yachts, with an 11% decline overall in Captains with less than 59 days leave.
- Two-fifths of Captains receive an annual pay rise, although this is not part of their contract.
- 38% receive a 13th-month bonus, but random and unpredictable bonuses are more commonplace.
- 70% of Captains have Master 3000.
- Exactly half of the Captains who responded have more than 10 years’ experience in the role and 32% were Chief Officers for 3 to 5 years prior.
- A third have been Captains on their current yacht for more than 3 years.
- Flight allowance improves with yacht size, with 49% of Captains receiving Business Class flights as part of their package.
- The average age at which respondents first became Captain is 32.5 years old.
The full report contains a comprehensive analysis of salaries and leave in each yacht size bracket and also compares full time with rotational roles, as well as explores any correlation between experience and type of ticket.
Simon Ladbrooke, Captain Consultant at Quay Crew, commented:
“In our most detailed salary report to date, we have gained an insight into the real-time compensation Captains receive, broken down by yacht size and with several other comparables too.
“A key takeaway this year is that, despite a slight decline in salaries between 2020 and 2022, the average monthly pay is now higher across all size brackets, representing a median 6.75% increase.
“Time for time rotation has also grown in popularity on all sized yachts, with the exception of <39m yachts which are all full-time at the moment.
“By gathering Chief Officer experience as well as longevity on their current yacht, we can surmise that onboard promotion is on the rise. The average age that someone becomes Captain is now older and the number of years of experience as Chief Officer is higher, suggesting the transition is also taking longer.
“This is undoubtedly down to there being more competition amongst candidates and it being more difficult to make that initial step up.
“Yet, almost three-quarters say it took them less than 6 months to get their first Captain role. This could be, along with the extensive CO experience demonstrated in this survey, largely down to onboard promotion.
Having said that, we were very surprised at this statistic as it doesn’t match at all with our experience. Often, Chief Officers are looking for several years before they finally get their opportunity. It’s something we definitely want to explore further in another survey.”

The Best Helicopters For Superyachts
Airbus ach145.
Just commissioned a beautiful new superyacht with a helicopter deck ? Whether you're new to the aerial world or an experienced buyer, our guide to the best helicopters for superyachts will give you plenty of options for your next purchase...
Compact in size, this helicopter’s small footprint and large, flexible cabin make it the aircraft of choice for on board. The ACH145 can carry eight to ten passengers depending on desired configuration, transporting guests to shore in style. Choose between a standard or VIP interior designed in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, or bring your along your own designers. One superyacht owner enlisted the help of London-based design studio Harrison Eidsgaard for two ACH145 helicopters delivered earlier this year. The ACH145 is also the heli of choice for 182.9 metre REV Ocean , soon to be the largest superyacht in the world, and for 66 metre support catamaran Hodor ( pictured ).
Leonardo AW169 helicopter
Leonardo’s AW169 helicopter is expanding into new VIP markets. The versatile twin-engine, medium-weight helicopter puts safety first with a crash-resistant airframe, fuel system and seats. It has the latest touchscreen avionics and expansive glass for maximum visibility, plus one engine inoperative (OEI) capability. The cabin can carry five to eight passengers depending on layout and is as luxurious as any jet. There are separate cabin-cockpit air conditioning systems and a wireless cabin control and entertainment system. The variable speed main rotor feature improves efficiency in flight and keeps noise levels to a minimum. At 48 feet in length the AW169 isn't small but if you can find the space you'll be rewarded with a max range of 440 nautical miles. Expect to pay around $8.5 million.

Bell 505 Jet Ranger X
The 505 Jet Ranger X is a lightweight helicopter that offers speed and manoeuvrability well suited to tight landing spots. It has a fully integrated glass flight deck and Garmin G1000H avionics suite with twin 10.4in LCD screens, which makes for enjoyable, safe piloting. The sleek Italian-designed cabin can carry up to four passengers or be configured for cargo by removing the quick-disconnect rear cabin seats or co-pilot seat. The flat floor cabin design and large rectangular baggage compartment allows for plenty of onboard luggage. If you’re after something nippy and practical, it’s a great choice. You'll pay around $1 million.
Leonardo AW109 Trekker helicopter
Despite a pedigree that dates back to the original AW109, when the company was known as AugustaWestland, the light twin-engine AW109 Trekker still looks fresh and purposeful. Making its European debut at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show, the AW109 Trekker is capable of carrying up to six passengers in a quiet cabin with luxurious seating that can be arranged in various configurations. It has a range of 450 nautical miles, an altitude ceiling of 16,000 feet and a 175mph cruising ability with fixed landing skids. At 42 feet in length, it’s more suited to gigayachts than mere superyachts, but all that fuselage area does make the ideal blank canvas for an eye-catching paint job. Leonardo has an in-house customisation division, so no two helicopters are created the same. From $4.2 million.
Airbus H175 VIP
The first of Airbus' super-luxe H175 VIP helicopters was delivered in 2016 with Arsenal football club shareholder Alisher Usmanov reportedly installing one on board 156 metre Lürssen Dilbar . The luxury helicopter can seat eight and has a customisable interior by Pegasus Design meant to rival the finest investment-worthy private jets. Dimmable panoramic windows, mood lighting, TV screens and WiFi all come as standard in the soundproofed cabin and, while Airbus have not disclosed an exact price, the H175 helicopter is thought to be in the range of $20-25 million.
Sikorsky S-76D helicopter
If you have a large family (or lots of friends) the S-76D commercial helicopter could be for you. Capable of carrying up to 13 people, the S-76D is also the helicopter of choice for heads of state, air ambulances, and search and rescue missions. The "D" model is powered by 1,050 hp Pratt & Whitney Canada PW210S engines, providing increased horsepower compared to its siblings, without increasing fuel consumption. Executive and deluxe configurations feature a cockpit cabin divider, tinted windows, leather upholstery and retractable boarding steps.
Looking for a helicopter with a royal seal of approval? Sikorsky is the current heli of choice for the British Royal Family.
Airbus H160 helicopter
If you want to be at the cutting edge of helicopter design, put your name down for the recently unveiled H160. It features a fully composite airframe, twin Turbomeca Arrano turboshafts and a shrouded tail rotor for silent travel. It will carry 12 passengers and cruise at 185mph for 500 miles. First deliveries are due in May 2020, POA.
Robinson R44 helicopter
One of the most popular full-sized, entry level helicopters – almost 6,000 have been sold. Powered by a single six-cylinder piston engine, it carries four people, cruises at 135mph, and has a range of 350 miles. In 1997 Jennifer Murray used one to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by heli. It costs from $375,000.

Pilot testimonial
"I started flying for Boatpix in December 2008 and it was a whole new experience for me. During my previous jobs as a CFII I had experienced this type of flying. Boat scan was my favorite, where we where doing a more commercial type of flying. From December 2008 to April 2009 I gained about 300 flight hours, and even more important, it opened my eyes for real helicopter flying which you don't see at a conventional helicopter school."

Written by Maria Korotaeva
Many life-long careers in the yachting industry have begun as a seasonal job or gap year with a desire to visit exotic destinations. The continual change and challenges that come with each new charter group make the positive feedback even more satisfying and those with lifelong wanderlust have a rare opportunity to see some of the world’s most incredible cities and scenery .
Seahwak’s Crew
Working on a luxury yacht isn’t without its drawbacks, however: Weeks at a time spent away from home, long working hours in the peak seasons and ensuring that everything runs smoothly when you’re far from the port can all take their toll. When performing tasks that can be as equally trying as they are rewarding, crew members want to assure that their pay reflects the professionalism and high degree of detail that they put into each day.
Following the launch of free salary-sharing platform www.yachtingsalaries.com in March 2016, YPI CREW has revealed its first report into the salaries paid to the crew on luxury yachts of various sizes.
Covering the period between 2016/2017, the results not only provide transparency to crew members but help employers to attract and retain individuals with exceptional skills. The occupations covered range from captains to deckhands and compare pay for permanent, private, rotation and charter crew: Find out how the charter industry measures up to the other sectors.
446 captains submitted information to www.yachtingsalaries.com, and the data revealed that 13% worked on sailing yachts and the other 83% on motor yachts. Captains on larger yachts earned more per month than captains of smaller vessels to create an upward trend, although M/Y captains of 35m-51m superyachts fared particularly well, with a jump in salary from €9,000 per month for 41m-50m yachts up to €13,000 p/m for larger luxury yachts. Private and permanent captains tended to earn the most for their size category, with permanent captains coming out slightly ahead.
Sailing yacht captains tended to earn the same as on motor yachts for the 0-35m and 35-40m vessels, earned more than motor yacht captains in the 41-50m category by €2,000 per month, and earned less than motor yacht captains by €2,000 in the 51-65m category.

Technical Crew
239 of the 434 technical crew surveyed were chief engineers, and on charter yachts, they earned an excellent salary compared to private, permanent and rotational counterparts on the same-sized yacht: In the 0-35m size category, they earned €6,000 per month compared to €5,500. Salary levelled off in the 80-100m category, with chief engineers on charters earning slightly less than others with a salary of €9,500.
Second engineers were the most stable across the sectors and received a steady pay of between €48,000, rising to €70,000 on the largest yachts. Second engineers on charter yachts were paid considerably more per month than permanent and private second engineers within the 51-65m and 66-80m categories, earning between €5,000-€10,000 more in the former category and €2,000-€5,000 per month more in the latter.
Third engineers earned between €2,500 and €5,000 per month, with the pay scale raising incrementally based on yacht size.
Luxury superyacht crew
Deck officers
69% of the 224 deck officers who took part in the survey were permanent and 31% rotational. Second and third officers had a greater chance of occupying a rotational position (50% and 70%), making deck officers the most likely crew members to have rotational work. Deck officers on charter yachts tended to earn less than counterparts on similarly-sized vessels, and private and permanent positions provide the most stable throughout.
Salaries for chief officers on charter yachts ranged from under €4,000 per month on 0-35m vessels to over €8,000 on 81-100m vessels and dropping slightly in the category of 101+m
Data for 2nd and 3rd officers was more sporadic, and charter position salaries ranged from €3,800 for both positions on yachts 51-65m and upwards.
Although 127 chefs participated in the survey, results were varied both for yacht sizes and sectors, producing the unusual graph where the head chefs on a 0-35m and 66-80m yacht were earning approximately the same (€4,000 per month) while on other sized charter yachts the head chefs were earning between €5,000 and €8,000. Of the head chefs who submitted data. 85% were permanent and 15% on rotation.
Dining aboard superyacht SuRi
Vessel size seemed to play a part in the salary of sous chefs, with each type of employees earning more on larger yachts. 71% were permanent, and 29% were temporary.
Pursers, Stewards and Stewardesses
For the 2016/2017 report, only 27 pursers, 68 chief stewards/stewardesses and 27-second stewards/stewardesses provided information, and there are therefore too few results to make solid conclusions about industry salaries in this area. Of the pursers, salary varies from €5,000 per month to €7,000 and remuneration did not have any correlation with the size of the yacht and salary was stable regardless of the type of employment, although results were the most unstable in the 66-80m category.
Excellent service onboard
Chief stewards and stewardesses received greater salaries for working on larger yachts, with rotation, permanent and private employment having the most stable salaries and charter crew the most variable: salary on a 51-65m superyacht was €6,500 per month, whereas under €6,000 was paid to stewards and stewardesses aboard 66-80m vessels and smaller yachts.
The results of the second stewards and stewardesses had the most variability, with charter and rotation crew earning under €3,000 for 66-80m vessels while private and permanent crew earned €5,000.
Deckhands
Deckhand salaries tended not to vary depending on the size of the vessel, and 93% were permanent and 7% on rotation aboard motor yachts, while sailing yachts had 100%, permanent crew. From the 87 deckhands that contributed to the study, data revealed that salaries tended to range between €2,100 – €3,000 per month, regardless of whether the yacht was a charter, private or permanent. Deckhands on rotation earned €3,000-€9,000 less depending on the size of the yacht.
The website www.yachtingsalaries.com currently has 2,857 searchable salaries and includes other professions such as bosun and helicopter pilot, as well as the full comprehensive report. Results are searchable at any time, and the next report is due in November 2018.
