Health insurance is typically provided after a 30-90 day evaluation period. Pay increases are dependant upon performance and seniority. Vacation and time off will vary with each vessel. Subject to the yachts schedule, four weeks paid holiday per year and a five-and –a-half/six day work- week is normal in the yachting industry.
