How the seasons work
Many charter yachts recruit their summer crew in spring and their winter crew in autumn. Season contracts usually run for several months, often with accommodation on board. Between seasons, yachts cross the Atlantic or go to the yard — and need extra hands for a few weeks.
Fill the gaps between seasons
Mark the weeks you are free in your sea calendar. Clients searching for crew on those dates see that you are available, and job alerts tell you when a delivery or short contract fits your gap.
