Do yacht crew get days off?

It is common for yacht crew members to have some days off during their employment, although the specific arrangements for days off can vary depending on the terms of their employment and the needs of the yacht.

In general, yacht crew members may be entitled to some days off during their contract period, either on a regular basis (e.g., one day off per week) or as part of a rotating schedule (e.g., working a certain number of days and then having a certain number of days off).

The amount of time off that a yacht crew member is entitled to may also depend on the length of their contract and the laws and regulations that apply to their employment. For example, international maritime labor standards specify that seafarers are entitled to a minimum of 70 hours of rest in any period of seven days.

It is important to carefully review the terms of your employment contract before accepting a position on a yacht, to ensure that you understand your entitlements to time off and any other terms and conditions that apply. If you have any questions or concerns about the terms of your employment, it is a good idea to discuss them with your employer or a maritime lawyer before accepting the position.
