Megayacht Crew Size

Yes, charter boats will need more crew as will owners that are doing a lot of things. Keep all of the crew bunks full and you should have the right amount......maybe less, if you have very easy owners...... There is no formula, but how maintanence heavy the boat is, how many guests you have, type of guests, cruising range, how many days a year you have guests/owners, and how many toys you have all have everything to do with it.

That's really a good starting place is counting the crew sleeping quarters. I haven't looked at the true mega yachts but in looking at boats under 150' I've found that maybe for private low key use you don't quite fill the crew space but for charter and high requirement private owner you'll need it all.

To the OP, was there a specific size range you were thinking of when asking?

Random list of charters: 78m-25, 80m-22, 89m-32, 75m-20, 77m-26, 79m-26, 85m-36, 85m-36, 82m-28, 76m-25,

Hi,

A lot will depend on exactly what the boat is built like and how the interior is.

If you have a 100m converted something use as an expedition type yacht with tenders and toys all over the aft maindeck,with a chlorinated rubber exterior paint job and commercial interior you will not need the same number of crew to keep it up to spec as if you had one the same length with the normal oufit of tenders and toys, filled and faired with a high gloss finish on all decks and a full on high end interior.

You should also be aware that a lot of the big "private " yachts Owners travel with an entourage that often includes valets, masseuses, doctors etc which you will not see on a crew list unless they are actually onboard and travellling.

Not many of these aforementioned will be found in crew cabins unless there is some horizontal folk dancing going on as they generaly see themselves as too good to be teated as the hired help.

Hi,

You might be surprised, there is a world famous tennis player who was found to have fathered a child in a tryst with a cleaner in a cupboard of a hotel or an airport I can remember which so crew accom is quite spacious compared to this.

It was in a London restaurant called, believe or not, Nobu.

I think, its called shooting a goldfasan. Bobbele (his nickname in Germany) and his most expensive 5 minutes. This plot gives the expression no-brainer a total different meaning .

If you type the German word for broom cupboard (Besenkammer) in google, the name of this "famous tennisplayer" will appear first.

That is not what I got:

"Gay Bar - Berlin - Germany - Besenkammer
www.go2gay.com/Germany/Berlin/Berlin/​Besenkammer/1711/​DetailPagina...

Besenkammer - Friendly bar. One of the two still existing gay bars in East-Berlin!"

Of course I did use Bing.

Besenkammer

Google leads to our famous no-brainer. The bar in Berlin is named after this "event".

The web never forgets .

When I googled "Besenkammer tennis" it came right up!
