Seriously. I'd like this video twice if I could. A TH-cam video that gets right to the point is as rare as a recipe that doesn't have 4,000 words of commentary, photos of children or random beach scenery before getting to the DAMN RECIPE YOU CAME THERE FOR!
How doing "this" can be anyones passion? It's pretty much 21-st century slavery on these boats and all cruise boats. You work as a slave and you are treated as a slave. That is the reality and anyone who worked on a boat will comfirm my words. They drain you out and throw you away.
Well, we are almost at 500 and tomorrow I ain't at my computer. So a deal is a deal. 3080 Euros PER MONTH. Could I have been paid more? Sure, maybe on a different boat but I have my girlfriend with me and didn't ask any questions as it was more important to have a job together. Living expenses are covered, and I have been WAY to busy to spend any money. If you are new here, do me a huge favor and subscribe will ya. Thanks guys!
jared watney how does ones go about looking for a job on a yatch? I’ve never been on a boat but it seems like something I would want to do. Any tips on how to get started would be appreciated!
For the two of you together? Also, the tax situation could be really interesting. As an expat myself I know that in most tax jurisdictions you only have to pay taxes for the number of days that you're actually in the country. The country being the country where you are paid, because usually that's the country where you need to pay your taxes. If you get a tax break: good for you! I don't think you're overpaid at all.
Wow, the fact that you told us within the first 20 seconds of the video, instead of dragging it out like EVERYONE ELSE would, and you’ve not only got a 👍🏻 from me but a new subscriber!
If the entry level is €2500/month please remember it's tax free, accommodation room and board (food) is provided. If the yacht is chartered, the charterer provides a crew gratuity to the Captain who, in turn disperses/shares with the crew at his discretion, again tax free and in cash. Depending on the owner, some contracts include one free flight home per year, end of contract bonus and shore excursions paid. When the owner is on board or on a charter, it is hard work and long hours and the crew earn every euro.
Now when you got to wake up at all times of the day and night to do meaningless Petty tasks boat in or whatever it can't get very tedious and monotonous it's probably worth every penny that he makes but on the plus side when he gets off the boat he's got a big check waiting for him in the bank because he hasn't been able to spend any of his money on the boat and that's a good thing for him and all the crew members
@@lexor521 You're right. It's sounds a terrible way to earn a living. Much better to work 12 hour shifts in a noisy, dirty factory, or clean up blood and vomit in A+E day after day....
Nice video Jared. From someone that started as a decky (back in 82') and worked my way to captain I love you can share this type of stuff to let others know some of the things you get up to. One of the greatest job's in the world working on Superyachts and in reality so much more than the money. The opportunities you get from meeting some of the world's top business minds to people that many would pay hundreds to meet and have conversations with is priceless. Enjoy every moment onboard, every watch, every crossing, yes even the washing down a boat that is clean before you start! Stay safe, work hard, read everything your owner or guests read, and learn every day. Keep up the great content.
Hey Simon! I truly love when someone take the time to write such a lengthy comment! Its funny you mention learning from our bosses because I remember a time where i said this job is worth having JUST to learn from the 1%ters. At the moment, I am no longer employed by a vessel and have decided to go fulltime youtube. Do my best to get to every major boat show I can and show a different side to yachting that what most see on TH-cam. Lots coming and I cant wait to show everyone what I am capable of capturing as this channel grows. Thanks again and hope you enjoy the rest of the content!
Jared Watney thanks for the reply. On a side note and seeing you have a better grasp of making videos than I might you consider doing a bit of a joint project? I working on doing some videos on safety in the super yacht industry with reference to flag state reports and some of the fatalities that have happened. Also I had for 5 years when at the Monaco show taken picture of tenders entering and exiting the port with barely 5% of crew wearing a kill cord and of course no sight of life jackets. Also did Interviews and found that while some had standing orders, many just didn’t follow them. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your response guys. We ain't at 500 comments yet and my comment replies don't count. Feels weird telling you all what I earn but I'll stick to my word considering I am now unemployed as I type this haha. Remember Yachts biggest benefit is that most to all expenses are covered so any money made is savings. YACHT SERIES STARTING SOON!
jared watney Uber driving awaits you. Not always about the money. Getting in some great experience. Do not know if you have any skiing experience. In the U. S. during ski season they hire a lot of peeople. Maybe you could be a lift operator. Then on your free days bomb the slopes. One of those once in a life time experiences where you could improve your skiing skills or initiate them. A friend of mine many years ago did that for one season. He said he did tons of skiing and loved it. Don't know about the pay.
Great video as usual. You guys earn every bit of pay. Its a tremendous amount of work and much of that work kinda sucks (scrubbing teak). People think it's super exotic but there are probably times you barely if at all get to visit the port you're in. Keep up the good work & great vids Jared !
Love the yacht series, man. There's a lot of yacht content out there but you have a great style of presenting it that makes it mega interesting and relatable. Keep it up! Looking forward to many more. :)
I am a full time captain on a 65 ft Viking sportfish and I make 45k salary a year plus bonuses and tips when we run charters. I “work” way less than 40 hours a week avg and I love to fish so trips never feel like work and only feel like it’s work when I’m working on the boat. People pay thousands of dollars to charter my boat and I get to do it for free and I get paid. Best job on earth hands down
I was working in a cruise ship as a purser in Singapore for 2 years . But the best was my work in 3 private yachts from 1992 to 2000 and i love my job. I was ssooo lucky to work with all 3 awesome owners and a very caring captain , chefs and crew. We don't have tips but the owners gave us bonuses every after trip . Our crew cabin is huge (can fit 4 ppl) but we are only 2 . Everything is free from shampoo and soaps which you will not get in the cruise ships . In fact , we can request what we want and need. Most of the time we work only 8 hrs a day , if the owner is not around , we have weekend off. It's the best job I ever had and the best memories I will treasure . Im soo blessed and forever grateful for the opportunity
Miss, I also have experience in the cruise industry. I am also fascinated to join and gain experience in the Yachts industry. Kindly guide me as to how can I get into this yacht job. I shall remain thankful to you ever after.
I feel you are UNDERPAID! Dealing with living on a working vessel. (Charter) with a minimal crew is lots of work in itself. Dealing with the whims of demanding guests @ all hours of the day would work a nerve a teething baby could not touch!! Good luck to you!
Crikey Jared - you guys are so so busy, but ......... you 2 seem to be having fun as well. I’m never going to complain about work again !!!!!! 👋🏻 Becks 💖
C Johnson - like everything in life, there are always abusers of power & position - I’m sure you are right But for the purposes of Jared & Rebeca videos - they seem very happy contented young people
@@PHOENIX-ve7yk His name suggest that he is icelandic, faroese or from a scandinavian country. And a a first mate in our part of the world usually as follows in Denmark where I live. Less than 1 year experience 6-8000€ per month. After 1 year the pay increases significantly to 8-10000€. If you serve on the same vessel/company for several years, the salary for a first mate, can rise to 10-13000€ a month. If you work in norway, your salary is about 10-20% higher, than here in Denmark, so Tórhallur is not overpayed for a man in his position. My guess would be, that he is in his late 30´s with around 10 years of experience. Muy guess would be that he works for the Danish Maersk shipping line, or a norwegian carliner.
Questions: - How often do the crew, or some members, change during the season? - What happens to the crewmembers, if the "season" for the yacht, you are working for, is over? - Is there a "new season - new crew" kind of rule?
This was my life.Could do it even married, but when kids came along, had to give it up. Miss, but would give it up for family again.And again. Pay was real real good for me,started small,finished big,way it should be.
I debated whether to post this but I decided I would. I'm just out the military and find myself a superyacht owner. I am going to be recruiting an entire crew soon for my travels. Thank you for the upload it gives me an idea on what I should be looking for. You're boat is lucky to have you. You earn you're pay.
Pretty crummy wage for basically on call 24 hrs a day. As a locomotive engineer I make 110k usd a year. Not nearly as good as a captain, but not bad either.
You gotta remember, most the people that do this do it as much or more for love of the job and being at sea than for just the money. I've known many captains that sacrificed to be where they wanted to be. if you don't have a passion for the sea you can never understand the feeling.
Some very good points... It is the same for us who work on the principals aircraft. My day does not finish when they get off the plane. The thing needs to be cleaned, re-stocked, laundry done, catering ordered for the next flight, catering offloaded from the flight we just did and everything else... Although we don't "live" on the jet, it has some similarities.
I instantly liked this video (already subbed soz) due to the fact you just went straight in and told me the amount. No one does that, everyone drags you along until the end. I love you for that. I also stayed and watched the rest of it out of respect, (and it's a good video).
I'll be sure to watch your coming videos Jared! And how are you going to post the 25videos? In one set? Or once a week? :) And thank you for another video!
Your videos are very informative and fun to watch. Many years ago I'm talking about the mid to late 60's way before you were born I worked on a 104' MV. Compared to what they're building these days she was small but none the less elegant. The truth is if hired you'll work your ass off everyday and sometimes twice a day if told to. Washing, wiping, scrubbing, cleaning, etc. If you are afraid of hard work don't look at this job. The glamor is not for you, it's for the owners guests and clients. One wrong word, one mistake that costs them any time or money and you are gone!
I have a very tall son who chefs on these super yachts, whose friends and myself don't appreciate /understand what it's like on these super yachts. thanks for enlightening me and others.
Hi cool vid man. I'm a marine engineer engineering officer of the watch CoC unlimited. I am on cargo ships and I was looking for info if I can join yachts. But I do not see on the PDF anything on engineers. So you do not sail with marine engineers? I'm from RSA
A follow-up for all people asking questions. The salary is €2500 per month which is a base salary not including tips. Tips for weekly charters could be as much as €1,000 to €4,000 for a single week. An most importantly, that is tax-free income. You may think that €2500 base salary isn't a lot, but please remember they have ZERO expenses. Accommodation is paid, food is paid and they get to experience a lifestyle 99,5% of the worlds population will never come near. Sure, you could earn more in other industries, but remember this job probably isn't the end of the career for a deckhand, it's a starting salary.. As a 20 year old you can easily save €50,000 over 2 years if you wanted and still have the time of your life. A lifestyle that others will probably never come close to experiencing during their life.
A benefit of the job is the content you get to post on TH-cam which can potentially make you good money? Especially when your good at it like you are mate.
I am a chef , I was once offered a job on a yacht and quickly turned it down when I found I would have to cook Breakfast Lunch and dinner for staff , and owners and guests for 6 weeks straight. without a day off. Similar to working on a Resort Island on the Great Barrier Reef , the guests would all say "Oh you are so lucky to live here and get paid for it" LOL Staff turn over on Resort Islands is high , generally 3 months is enough for most
I worked on one and you are technically on call whenever you are on the boat. but it rarely happens. it feels normal when you are there. very rarely will things happen after work hours if you are not on duty etc
Many years ago i was Navy submarine sailor. Pay wasn't that much, but the work day was similar. The advantage in a submarine... It sinks all the time, but it can usually come back up.
it depends on your own countries individual tax laws. for example i am from Ireland and if i'm working outside of Ireland for more than 6 months a year i don't pay tax to the Irish government.
They don't get taxed in any countries since they are never staying more than 6 months in a single country (and therefore not being taxliable in any country)
I think for US citizens it is "something like" the first 100K is tax free if your work requires you to be outside the US and you are not on US soil for more than 2 weeks in a calendar/tax year. Feel free to reply if you know the exact numbers. I only bring this up because a US international flight attendant moved to a foreign country but continued working for a US airline and ended up owing huge back taxes and penalties. The US tax service said because she worked for a US based airline her work did not REQUIRE her to be offshore and charged her back taxes !!! I guess if she worked for Emirates she would have been in the clear. So I am guessing, for US crew the yacht would have to be foreign registered.
Considering the hours you work, the responsibilities, sleepless nights on & on. I think you are a underpaid. Keep up the good work with you videos. There is light at the end of the tunnel or should I say a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You’re on to something very cool... someone somewhere will give you a break... big time!
That's almost 3000k US. I made twice that as a deck hand on a tug boat pushing barges up and down the Mississippi river, the down side was I earned every penny. Picking up and dropping off barges up and down the river, cleaning inside and out, and in the summer scraping and painting. Trust me, you're living and working like kings.
Triple your workload, on duty or working 24hours a day, take away the sun and nice stops in foreign countries all the time and then half the salary and start paying taxes. The add in the North Atlantic in winter and you have the typical life on an experienced member of the Royal Navy. Trust me dude you are living the life make the most of it and stop trying to make it out to be hard work...you really have no idea until you've pulled a constant 72 Hour shift in a war zone, on a 6 month+ tour.
Life choices man. I chose this, you chose that? I aint complaining but i do work hard and wont water it down because others work under worse conditions
Haha exactly, great response. I’m in the military (leaving this year) but I’m not gonna pretend like I’m the only guy who’s ever done a hard days work. Life choices, Smeggy. Don’t let the navy make you bitter.

Compared to what they're building these days she was small but none the less elegant. The truth is if hired you'll work your ass off everyday and sometimes twice a day if told to. Washing, wiping, scrubbing, cleaning, etc. If you are afraid of hard work don't look at this job. The glamor is not for you, it's for the owners guests and clients. One wrong word, one mistake that costs them any time or money and you are gone!
Hi Jared, Is there an age limit on becoming a crewmember? Keep up the good work, love your videos!
As a former yachtie for 8 years, I feel the pain of never switiching off from work. But it makes up for it when you become land based
That is extremely low pay for all the hours and responsibility. jmho
Reminds me of being in the Navy. When you are underway, you are "on duty" 24/7. 18 hour days are the norm. Of course we felt underpaid!
The intro made me subscribe 😊 good videos tho
YEAHHH happy to have you man
I have a very tall son who chefs on these super yachts, whose friends and myself don't appreciate /understand what it's like on these super yachts. thanks for enlightening me and others.
Hey man,
Loving the vids ! keep them coming. Is this a weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay ?
I reckon weekly because that would be 130000 thus warranting the 'overpayed' comments
wow, i love that you brought it up right away without all the bullshit, that's cool, not too many people do videos like that)
2:23 Thought a yacht crew rap was about to drop hard
Sounds like a similar deal to a Navy deployment. I guess the difference is being in a more pleasant living environment and better food.
Hi cool vid man. I'm a marine engineer engineering officer of the watch CoC unlimited. I am on cargo ships and I was looking for info if I can join yachts. But I do not see on the PDF anything on engineers. So you do not sail with marine engineers? I'm from RSA
A follow-up for all people asking questions. The salary is €2500 per month which is a base salary not including tips. Tips for weekly charters could be as much as €1,000 to €4,000 for a single week. An most importantly, that is tax-free income.
You may think that €2500 base salary isn't a lot, but please remember they have ZERO expenses. Accommodation is paid, food is paid and they get to experience a lifestyle 99,5% of the worlds population will never come near.
Sure, you could earn more in other industries, but remember this job probably isn't the end of the career for a deckhand, it's a starting salary.. As a 20 year old you can easily save €50,000 over 2 years if you wanted and still have the time of your life. A lifestyle that others will probably never come close to experiencing during their life.
A benefit of the job is the content you get to post on TH-cam which can potentially make you good money? Especially when your good at it like you are mate.
Thanks David! I am now only focusing on youtube and yachts
Straight to the point. Good man. I still watched till the end
really nice video
Thanks man!
I am a chef , I was once offered a job on a yacht and quickly turned it down when I found I would have to cook Breakfast Lunch and dinner for staff , and owners and guests for 6 weeks straight. without a day off. Similar to working on a Resort Island on the Great Barrier Reef , the guests would all say "Oh you are so lucky to live here and get paid for it" LOL Staff turn over on Resort Islands is high , generally 3 months is enough for most
Am I the only one who saw the guns on the wall? 5:34
maybe they were flairs?
@@dexterbond9415 that's true
Nope they either NERF guns or lick and stick guns haha.. The crew have a sense of humor!
jared watney haha that would be great fun when you are in the middle of nowhere!!
No. You aren't
I think the value of your experiences and travel opportunities make the deal even sweeter!
I can only give one like though. 21
Thanks for the support!
Jared)))
Brief, straight and crystal clear))))
Nice video, cheers)))
That's the salary per week? Per month? Or per trip?
Per month
@@callumduplessis9798 ah I see thanks
Thumbs up and comment for being direct and not revealing it at the end or just not even giving a number like others do.
Is that a week, a month or per charter?
Dachdog agree.
per month
The art on these boats are the most beautiful thing about them
So it's basically 2500e for 24/7 readiness?
Yip!
I worked on one and you are technically on call whenever you are on the boat. but it rarely happens. it feels normal when you are there. very rarely will things happen after work hours if you are not on duty etc
CharlesXavier i want to work there so bad ...
Many years ago i was Navy submarine sailor. Pay wasn't that much, but the work day was similar. The advantage in a submarine... It sinks all the time, but it can usually come back up.
Thanks for sharing Robert! Glad it came back up haha
Is the crew like a gang that comes as a package or are you each your own entity and can move to other yachts as you want to?
Each our own entity !
Iestyn Ok, thanks!
Keep up the great work.
What countries tax rate do you get taxed under?
It's tax free......
I guess it depends on where the ship is registered.
it depends on your own countries individual tax laws. for example i am from Ireland and if i'm working outside of Ireland for more than 6 months a year i don't pay tax to the Irish government.
They don't get taxed in any countries since they are never staying more than 6 months in a single country (and therefore not being taxliable in any country)
I think for US citizens it is "something like" the first 100K is tax free if your work requires you to be outside the US and you are not on US soil for more than 2 weeks in a calendar/tax year. Feel free to reply if you know the exact numbers.
I only bring this up because a US international flight attendant moved to a foreign country but continued working for a US airline and ended up owing huge back taxes and penalties.
The US tax service said because she worked for a US based airline her work did not REQUIRE her to be offshore and charged her back taxes !!! I guess if she worked for Emirates she would have been in the clear.
So I am guessing, for US crew the yacht would have to be foreign registered.
I enjoy your work lifestyle it's very interesting and you take lots of pride in your job!
Wait, didn’t you answer at the very beginning of the video,
I answered the starting salary for a new crew member yes
I am subscribing because of how direct to the point you are, thank you for not making me sift through 9 minutes of bullshit 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Is that per day or month, week, or year?
Big P month most likely
Month
Thank god for the immediate answer to my question. Makes me actually want to watch the rest of the video
Question and answer.... MY DUDE !!!
Your mono brow is so cute. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next series.
1:15 at first I thougt he meant Microsoft Windows
Ahahahahah
Considering the hours you work, the responsibilities, sleepless nights on & on. I think you are a underpaid. Keep up the good work with you videos. There is light at the end of the tunnel or should I say a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You’re on to something very cool... someone somewhere will give you a break... big time!
Unibrow
Meh, non-americans lol.
Yet again, great video for what could be such a short one. Looking forward to seeing the series!
Your life looks like the best
I try make it the best I can!
you are a real G my man for what you just did
What happened to the "pinned comment" tho. 😉
Would suit me perfectly working on a yacht, multitasking is all I know.
Background music at 1:45?
All music from Epidemic sound
The final part was 👌🏻👌🏻😂😂
Hi
That's almost 3000k US. I made twice that as a deck hand on a tug boat pushing barges up and down the Mississippi river, the down side was I earned every penny. Picking up and dropping off barges up and down the river, cleaning inside and out, and in the summer scraping and painting. Trust me, you're living and working like kings.
hi!
Nice comment
Very nice stating the salary at the beginning instead of dragging it out.
Triple your workload, on duty or working 24hours a day, take away the sun and nice stops in foreign countries all the time and then half the salary and start paying taxes. The add in the North Atlantic in winter and you have the typical life on an experienced member of the Royal Navy.
Trust me dude you are living the life make the most of it and stop trying to make it out to be hard work...you really have no idea until you've pulled a constant 72 Hour shift in a war zone, on a 6 month+ tour.
Life choices man. I chose this, you chose that? I aint complaining but i do work hard and wont water it down because others work under worse conditions
That's a comeback and a half Jared .I tip my hat to ye sir
Haha exactly, great response. I’m in the military (leaving this year) but I’m not gonna pretend like I’m the only guy who’s ever done a hard days work.
Life choices, Smeggy. Don’t let the navy make you bitter.
That start completly earned a like
