Thanks

Been in aviation a very long time and I can see why you are drawn to the sea.

I agree. Follow up video please

Agreed. I'll put something together in the coming weeks.

those are the big boats! Though I suppose even a 42' sailing cat could have a captain and cook aboard, depending on how people want to charter. Be your own captain! Calm waters do not make the best sailors.

Awesome, thank you!

lol. that rate was 25yrs ago

Thanks for listening

Awesome, Wishing you all the best.

Thank you very much!

All good thanks. Potentially huge news coming soon, just waiting on confirmation.

had same questions, if owner assisted (only a couple), can one crew (captain) be enough on such a setting and vessel, see 07:10

Yes!! Let's see what the captain says!!@@k.kaiser3997

Good point. Very true

Which are often as much or MORE then your salaries :)

@@TheRusschannelnot once you consider the fact that you split tips

​@@tylerwillem8683you can see on the Loon's charter yacht's videos that each crew member get between $ 5000-7000 after they split the tips for a week so TheRusschannel knows what he is saying about the tips are more then the salaries

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.

⁠@@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. Other friend of mine is high voltage electronics engineer on ship of Van Oord. Gig in north of Russia, hassle to get there. 2 months travel & on board, 2 months home.

Do Finnish employers quote salary AFTER taxes ? He's a yachtbroker, not a tax lawyer.

@@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.

@@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.

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.

Usually included in the off time since you are effectively getting 6 months paid holiday a year

@@Simon-ho6ly No.... You do not get "paid" holiday. Your work time is much more than 8 hours a day and no weekend off. So your normal time off is also "longer" because you just use your time off in another rhythm.

In most cases it's true.

Be careful what you doubt, Celestial Navigation still plays a big part for Officers & Masters, Nautical Almanacs, sight reductions tables and Sextants are still present on many Yacht bridges.

@@SuperYachtCaptain Having them present on the bridge is one thing....going out on the wing just past sunset when you need a good fix, and half an hour later having a neat 5-star pinwheel is quite another. I'd be willing to wager that none of the super yacht captains in Puerto Banus could pull it off. Delivered a 160 ft yacht, Yanbu, to Puerto Banus in 1980...Up until this time the sextant had been state of the art as mentioned...and I put it to good use during the crossing...this as a former navy officer, federal service academy grad, and later...as I was only 26...as a USCG licensed ship master. Following Seas.

Royal Navy do NOT get the Seafarers tax allowances unfortunately. I know they are lobbying for it. Fingers crossed they get it.

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... How its shared is TYPICALLY everyone gets an equal share, though sometimes ive heard of captains not taking a share, if you are on a rotation you typically split the tips equally with your rotational partner, so you get half the tips when you are on AND off the boat

@@Simon-ho6ly Thank you very much for sharing that information.

will be hard to share work/time/accomodation with full of testorenone 20's guys... up to you.

@@joanmatasrosello you are aware that about 1/3 of engineering demographic are 40+, right?

Scraping off the barnacles. What do you think lots of openings.

Not if you were a weapons operator ;)

Chief engineer would be roughly equivalent to chief mate maybe a little above. A friend of mine worked as either chief or second engineer on a superyacht during a refit around 10+ years ago and he was on around 7k euro a month then and it wasn’t a particularly big one. My background is in commercial shipping and there is good money to be had there to.

@@woolyimagedo you have experience or heard stories, how easy it is for a person like you, switching to yachting?

@@michaeldoderlein7012 I did look into in on the late 80’s when I was a lot younger ! However the yachting industry was a very different thing than it is today. I think it would be easier if you had experience on passenger ships but it’s a very different world to the commercial one. Esysman channel is good if you look through back episodes as he came through that route as an engineer. I’ve had friends that have had vastly different experiences and I think that this was mentioned here that it depends a lot on the owners and also the captain. As Tristan mentioned if you got a lot of other skills in water sports it would help a lot. 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

Here you are: How Much Does a Chief Engineer Get Paid??? ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a4VkaYN_Z6yWq5c.html

I'll be publishing 2 other video. ! for the engineering route and the other for interior staff and chefs/cooks

Nice, and thanks, I know videos take a lot of time and effort to make. I work in the offshore industry on big construction vessels, I know everyone always asks about the Captain, but in my opinion, a good Chief Engineer is by far more important and should be paid more than the Captain, if you have a bad Chief the whole vessel suffers because of it. Ask me how I know 😅 Thanks again.

how do you know? CalMac?

I use them a lot.

@@kevinstephens3792 what about the cook?

But they worked before for 7 days a week and often 12 to14th hours. They get their not yet consumed downtime compensated.

@@snoopstheboss994 they get paid for that and they have a great time on the yacht. they probably use it more than the owner.

Who cares ? Best get back in the galley and make me that sammich.

Ah, so using the metric system that is accepted as standard in about 95% of the world is a limitation ? If you followed the channel/YT content, you'd know that his experience & expertise is largely in the Med. I like that he talks about what he knows, not just regurgitating Google-searched data. I'm sure pay rates in the South Pacific are different , too. There's an infamous story about Paul Allen being puzzled by poor crew retention rates on his yacht. He was told that the crew didn't like the volatility of the dollar on which their pay was based. He switched to Euros, but didn't adjust the raw numbers, thus giving all a big pay bump.

most people in the industry can convert ft to m for boat sizes, rough rule.. just over 3ft in 1m, and right now (early feb 2024) a dollar is roughly a euro ($1.06) so multiply by 1.06 or just 1 and add a tiny bit..

These are scamtuber

No.

Sure thing bud, I'll take note, I wonder why this video has already done over 30k views in the first 48 hours if they don't want to see me "blarging on and on and on". Tell me about the success of your UKposts channel? ;))))

@@SuperYachtCaptainI am a tanker capt on US$14k/mo guess I will not be transferring to the yachtie world on those crap salaries you mention.
