 PRIVATE CHARTER CREW
Ocean Yachting recognizes that the crew
members are also a key to making or breaking
a holiday cruise. Therefore, our skippers
and sailors undergo rigorous screening and
tests as to their ability in leadership
before they are accepted as part of our team
in order to ensure that they have the right
aptitude to perform charter cruises. We only
use fully qualified and experienced crew. We
have an extensive data base of willing crew
members, many of which have sailed with us
before. Most of our skippers and crew are
Turkish who have an extensive knowledge of
cruising grounds and local life.
Your captain will ensure that your cruise
moves along at a good pace. He decides on
departure times and meal times according to
the composition of the group, the day of the
week and weather conditions. The captain is
responsible for the safety of the vessel and
its passengers and has the right to alter
the itinerary when necessary.
Since the skipper is responsible for
everything during the sail, all your
requests are to be directed to him. The
skipper can accept your invitation for
supper or for a cup of coffee or a glass of
wine; and you, in your part, may ask him to
tell you how to steer the yacht, and even
try to do any interesting ship work.
Tips to the
crew are usually
10 percent of the charter
price. Nevertheless, the tip is at
your discretion, and the sum may vary
subject to your satisfaction with the trip.
Just hand in an
envelope over to the skipper before coming
ashore. |
