Superyacht Wages Unmasked


Understanding the need for addressing who gets what when it comes to wages earned by crew working on superyachts, Fort Lauderdale based superyacht service company Luxury Yacht Group has launched a real time salary statistics tool that can be accessed by those in the superyacht industry worldwide.

As a trustworthy resource for crew placement, yacht management, and luxury yacht charters, Luxury Yacht Group (LYG) is raising the bar by becoming the industry resource with its proprietary salary statistics tool.

Knowing everyone’s need or desire to know what average industry salaries are and with a database of over 50,000 yachting industry members, LYG decided to convert the raw data within this large community, analyze it, and develop a useful tool that provides yachting crew members real time salary statistics.

It tabulates responses from both current crew looking for positions and successfully placed crew candidates on over thirty different crew positions weekly. The salaries, length of experience, size of yacht, and position are all determining factors, which are then communicated to the user through a series of four easy to read graphs charting current crew salaries.

The merit to this tool lies in its authenticity; it is real data from crew members and employers. It is not giving opinions as to how much a stewardess, chef, deckhand, or first officer should make, but what crew are making now depending on level of experience, position, and length of yacht.
