Crew agreement



Unless your contract is terminated prior to the expiration of 12 months, salaries will be reviewed every 12 months of employment, and by accepting a salary level you are agreeing to that level of pay for the following 12 months of employment.

Your salary will be directly deposited into your account at the end of each month. The Company will wire the full amount, without bank charge deductions, however if the receiving bank has an additional charge, this will be for the employees account.

You will receive insurance coverage, as described on the relevant insurance policy page posted.


You will receive 30 days’ paid vacation time for each 12 months of continuous service. This time will be given in either a 30-day block period, or in shorter periods according to what is most convenient to the operation of the Yacht as decided by the Captain. After you have accrued 30 days’ vacation, you will not be eligible to earn any additional vacation for that 12-month period.

After 12 months of continuous service, if your employment is renewed, you will once again be entitled to earn additional vacation at a rate of 30 days per year. For each 12 months of service, regardless of how your vacation time is allocated, you will receive one round trip, least expensive ticket to your home, or to another vacation point not exceeding the cost of the round trip fare home.


At the Captain’s discretion, self-evaluations will be submitted by each crewmember periodically each year. These self-evaluations will remain confidential, and will be responded to by the Captain verbally, and in a written evaluation once each year. The purpose of the evaluation is to offer guidance to the crewmember as to what issues are important to the organisation, and how the Captain views overall performance.


Subject to early termination by 30 days’ written notice by you or the Company, you agree that you intend to make yourself available for a service period of twelve months, and you undertake during any notice period to continue to perform your duties at the discretion of the Captain. If this is your first term on board, a mutual introductory period of 6 months provides for immediate and no-cause termination of this agreement with remuneration paid only to date of termination.


Your employment may be terminated if, in the opinion of the Company or the Captain, your continued employment would be likely to endanger the Yacht or any person on board. The following types of conduct, amongst others, will justify such an opinion and will therefore lead to the termination of your employment either immediately or at the next port of call: assault; willful damage to the Yacht or any property on board; theft or possession of stolen property, unlawful possession or distribution of drugs or other illegal substances or offensive weapons or failure to notify the master of the presence on board of the same which is known to the crewmember; persistent or willful failure to perform duties; conduct endangering the Yacht of those on board, conspiring with others at sea so as to impede the progress of a voyage or the navigation of the Yacht in a manner likely to endanger the Yacht or any person on board, disobedience of orders relating to the safety of the Yacht or persons on board, incapacity through drink or drugs in a manner which might prejudice the safety of the Yacht or persons on board; sleeping on watch or abandoning watch in circumstances which might prejudice the safety of the Yacht or persons on board; smoking or using naked flame or unapproved electric or electronic apparatus in any part of the Yacht where safety might thereby be prejudiced or in prohibited areas; intimidation, coercion and interference with the working of other seamen; conduct which seriously detracts from the safe and efficient working of the Yacht or the social well-being of any other person on board; causing or permitting unauthorized persons to be on board the Yacht; repeated breaches of lesser infractions after warning.


Your behavior and performance will adhere to the company philosophy and duties and general behavior policies.


Beyond your position’s standard job description, you fully understand and agree that it is impossible to anticipate every event and hence every duty that may arise.
