There are several scenarios in which a yacht crew is needed or required on board a yacht: When the size of the yacht exceeds 24 meters,

if the owner does not want to take care of the management, maintenance and upkeep of the yacht, or if the owner wants a better service in terms of cleaning, housekeeping, service and cooking on board,

Then he has to hire a professional yacht crew.

Yacht crew are usually specialized and experienced in working on yachts, with different backgrounds, often coming from onshore or offshore catering. The more crew members you have on board, the better the service and the less time you have to spend with the yachts. The yacht crew strives to make the owner feel comfortable on board.

However, yacht owners need to be aware that dealing with crew can also bring new problems, such as planning vacations for the yacht crew, finding and especially keeping the team. The crew also comes with a cost. They spend most of their time continuously on board and demand higher wages than engineers on land or in the hospitality industry. They need food, health insurance, etc. On smaller yachts, for example, you can hire captains, engineers, mates, stewardesses, cooks and deckhands.

Each client is free to decide with whom to cooperate and whether he really needs a yacht crew. Nowadays yachts with length less than 24 meters are becoming more and more voluminous and usually there are also 1 to 2 permanent crew members on board of such yachts.
