The BIG PROBLEM with LIFE AS A SUPERYACHT CREW MEMBER

Working on yachts and superyachts is a great way to earn a living, but life as a superyacht crew member isn't easy. In my experience, one of the biggest difficulties is getting enough rest so that you can work safely and effectively. In this video, I take a closer look at the problems associated with not getting enough rest, and how it is negatively affecting the super yacht industry. In my opinion, the main issues are a reduced level of service being offered to super yacht owners and guests whilst on board, and a greater chance of crew members abandoning their super yacht careers prematurely. 0:00 The big problem 1:15 What are hours of rest? 1:38 Hours of rest regulations for seafarers 3:27 Super yacht hours of rest 3:50 Why is this a problem? 7:39 How can we solve the problem? 9:51 It's not all bad! 11:13 Which yachts are most affected? 12:31 Summary If your life as a super yacht crew member has been affected by any of these issues, please do let me know in the comments.
