Supports for Superyacht Crew
Working on board a superyacht isn’t just about serving the needs of the boat. It’s also about serving your own needs, so you get the most out of your life in yachting and beyond.
A yacht needs a crew to keep it running smoothly. You also can create a support crew to help you keep your life and career running smoothly.
You already know that we provide financial and life planning support. On this page you’ll find a list of people whom we believe can give you important additional support, depending on your needs. Many of them have worked on board superyachts themselves.
Edmund Neill-Hall Counselling
A career in yachting can be an amazing, financially life-changing opportunity, but the lifestyle is both emotionally and psychologically demanding.
Edmund Neill-Hall was a yacht chef for 15 years. When he left the industry, he successfully retrained as a psychotherapist. He is ideally placed to help you resolve any psychological or emotional issues.
His very approachable manner and confidential service helps you regain your mental and emotional fitness, so that you are not only able to to successfully navigate your yachting career, but also more importantly to continue to live a fulfilling life both on board or on land.
Group health insurance
As captain of a charter or private yacht, the responsibility of looking after your crew falls to you. Often that includes arranging crew medical insurance.
We know that your time is best spent running the boat or looking after guests, not sorting out crew healthcare arrangements and crew insurance plans, especially in remote or very expensive parts of the world.
We offer two kinds of group health. One is sure to fit your needs.
Life assurance
As you get older, chances are you’ll not only be laying golden eggs for yourself. You’ll also be laying them for a young family.
It’s a barely tolerable thought, but one any responsible partner or parent has to consider. What happens if you were to die? How would your partner and children pay for their monthly living expenses?
The solution is to have a virtual back-up goose: life assurance.
Life assurance for superyacht crew can be structured in many ways. The bottom line, though, is that if something were to happen to you, money is available to your dependents so that they can process your loss and get their lives back on track without the added pressure of financial worries.
Your ability to lay golden eggs for them, even after you are gone, remains.
Income replacement insurance
Maybe you’re not able to work for several months. Possibly many months. Will the boat continue to pay your salary? Probably not. In that case, how will you pay for your monthly bills ashore and fulfil your investment commitments?
Having your own income replacement insurance protects you against the financial impact of falling ill or sustaining an injury. Your medical bills are covered (and they can be whopping) and you’re guaranteed an income while you’re unable to work.
