Crewsalary.com is an innovative new salary website designed to offer you the clearest and most accurate representation possible of the pay structure in today's yachting industry. The launch of this free service means the days of struggling with limited information from a small range of salaries per yacht size are now gone - and replaced with a clear, accurate and complete over-view of salary structures allowing both employers and crew to know where they stand. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129205/image/large-f1668edb649f44a2c59a41ec51a3c979.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129205">This pioneering website - the brainchild of Jonathan Franklin of JF Recruiting - will now fill a crucial gap in the market. He states: “This free service will help owners, managers and crew get a better grasp of the salary structure over the whole Industry.” <a href="http://www.crewsalary.com/">Crewsalary.com</a> provides you with the hard data required to ensure accurate pay representation throughout the industry. The website takes into consideration a wide range of factors including range of salaries for a position over the entire industry, average salary for position on a yacht of a certain size and the average monthly salary bill for any given yacht size. Geographic location, usage of the yacht and years of experience are also taken into consideration. It means a captain moving to another part of the world will be able to see the local rate for crew in either Dollars or Euros. Once you have registered for free, you will be able to compare reports with other crew members. All the data for crewsalary.com has been collected from two main sources - firstly positions that have come through the JF Recruiting website for over the last five years, and secondly the 1,000 crew that responded to an initial survey which included their salary profiles. For example, when a crew member's annual salary review is coming up, a unique salary report will be generated which will provide the crew member with all the information needed to support their pay rise request. <a href="http://www.crewsalary.com/">Crewsalary.com</a> is in its initial stages, but as the website develops with more members, it means more information, statistics and reports will be developed. Terry Wilson of Wilsonhalligan recruitment agency says: “Providing meaningful guidance on crew salaries has always been difficult because each yacht is unique and so many variables are involved. It is therefore great to see someone sifting and simplifying the mass of information available. I am sure the correlation between leave and salaries will be introduced as the website evolves.” All crew members are invited to register at <a href="http://www.crewsalary.com/">crewsalary.com</a> to provide as much information as possible in complete confidentiality. In doing so, this will not only enable crew to compare salaries, but also agencies, management and above all owners.

Scandal rocks yachting industry in Liguria, Italy

According to Italian media outlets, the yachting industry in Liguria, Italy, is currently under scrutiny due to allegations of corruption.

A well-stocked fridge, perfected pantry and state-of-the-art appliances are the ingredients every kitchen onboard a yacht requires. Yet the galley kitchens onboard can, in some cases, be afterthoughts for yacht designers. Enter Brennan Dates, a sought-after superyacht chef with over two decades of experience working on superyachts he has accumulated a know-how when it comes to galley designs, including must-have essentials. Today, the superyacht chef has garnered his expertise with his company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7686" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Galley Designs (Company)">Superyacht Galley Designs</a> and turned his eye toward consulting yacht designers, shipyards and owner’s when crafting various yacht galleys. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311010/image/large-b68a55be3d5df153aa84fbf4e9ef152b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311010">SuperYacht Times' Digital Editor sat down with Brennan Dates to discuss the do’s and don’ts when designing, configuring and shopping for the superyacht galley to ensure the food onboard is as impeccable as the dining table on which it is served.Please share a bit about yourself, how you got involved in the sector, and which vessels you have worked on during your career onboardAfter working for 22 years onboard superyachts and travelling around the world, it became clear to me that yacht chefs should be collaborating with designers and other crew members to create efficient designs of service and culinary spaces. I’ve worked on a few different high profile vessels, the 52.12-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> Bettered Bull&nbsp;(now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/611" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maria52.12m (170'12&quot;)Feadship1995">Maria</a>), 85.95-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ecstasea85.95m (281'12&quot;)Feadship2004">Ecstasea</a>, 73.51-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1713" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mogambo73.51m (241'2&quot;)Nobiskrug2012">Mogambo</a> and more recently 60-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2616" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arience60.0m (196'10&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2012">Arience</a>.&nbsp;Personally, I like charter boats. I thrive and respect the work that goes into these charter seasons, each set of guests want a different type of service and food requirement which keeps things exciting. This is where I began to think about galley designs and amenities when catering for different clientele.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311009/image/large-5af8fa386560169e1ee4ab4fa98415a6.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311009">What inspired you to turn your experience onboard into a career in design?I’m not going to tell you it was some sort of epiphany moment by any means. It took a few ebbs and flows over the years into the top end of the industry where I realised that all of the service areas of 90% of new-builds are being designed and built by people that have never worked in the hospitality industry. Very few of the designers building galleys are ex-crew members. Once I recognised this issue and paired it with the poorly designed galleys I’ve worked in, I saw a gap in the market and founded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7686" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Galley Designs (Company)">Superyacht Galley Designs</a>.In retrospect It isn’t just galleys suffering when it comes to design. There are also small and impractical pantries I’ve seen while listening to the service staff complain about bad layouts and not enough space. This is when I decided to start my own business. We’ll make sure service areas are protected and outfitted by professional crew during a build, while at the same time pushing a refit down the line by two to three years. This saves the yacht owner money in the long run while positively impacting the guest experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311011/image/large-0799295a4239acf90fc6505137c5557e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311011">Can you share some of the challenges you faced while working in superyacht galleys and how your designs work to overcome them?Problems in the galley design are often around space and lack of proximity. Ideally, wherever the guests eat the galley should realistically be on the same deck - this is great for temperature-controlled delicate food. Another challenge is the hours, ideally if you fit out the galley with the right equipment it can speed up certain tasks immensely.&nbsp;How does your involvement improve the build or refit process onboard?By building a galley from scratch you can install top end equipment that will require little maintenance, ensure less breakdowns, and push back a refit by 2 to 5 years. For example, a galley kitted out with Miele or other domestic appliances is not going to suffice for the constant high-quality food required onboard so ensuring to use industrial brands such as Rational ovens, EGO cook tops, Hobart dishwashers and Liebherr fridges and freezers this will save money in the long run and ultimately prevent any failures during guest trips. Domestic appliances were not designed to feed 30 people three times a day; they break down and negatively impact the guest experience. In my opinion, the busiest spaces on the boat deserve the highest quality equipment and should be designed by people with experience working within that environment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311013/image/large-79d1021e142b49b976320353b47715cb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311013">Can you share some of the projects you have worked on during your design and consultancy career?The recently launched 84-metre Feadship, Obsidian has gotten a lot of good reviews from the build team, owner’s team and crew.

I was proud that this design was replicated on the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6651" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ShadowCAT (Company)">Shadowcat</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9237" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nebula68.2m (223'9&quot;)Astilleros Armon2022">Nebula</a> and then again on Moonrise 2. My first design has been repeated twice since I initially drew it. I think that says a lot about having a chef design galleys versus companies with experience designing these very unique spaces. There is a new 140m in the water this year that I’m proud of and I’m in the initial design phase of another 140m+.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/205225/image/large-6dc826418d9254ba1d52f4a29faf6bdb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/205225">Do you find that owners/shipyards recognise the importance of crew areas and has this changed during your career?Yes. I believe when a yacht owner has owned multiple yachts they become very aware of the need for enhanced service areas. With spacious and efficient service spaces you will have quicker more efficient service times and a smaller turnover of staff, which ultimately keeps the owner happy. Strangely, shows like Below Deck have helped showcase the lack of space and amenities for crew onboard, which I think has had a positive impact when crafting crew spaces today. &nbsp;I’ve seen so many instances where the service areas get ignored until the last minute of a build.&nbsp;I also notice how guests are coming into the galley more and more. You, of course, have guests who are foodies who want to see, smell and interact with those of us making the food they are about to eat. Today there are more yachts being built with ‘show’ cooking configurations, I think this is down to the primal side in all of us - we like to see others cook for us, hence why galleys should be crafted with owner’s and guests in mind.&nbsp;This article is featured in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/issue-48-superyacht-times-newspaper" target="_blank">Issue 48</a>&nbsp;of the SuperYacht Times newspaper.&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe now</a>&nbsp;to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.&nbsp;

A group of 16 leading boat manufacturers and eight industry associations have come together to develop the first-ever environmental footprint methodology for recreational boats under 24 metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308823/image/large-7f755a2c28b948b5137b3cb872f411d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308823">Tackling climate change and minimising environmental impact a is a significant challenge for the yachting industry. The industry is committed to addressing emissions across the entire lifecycle, however this is only possible with a unified approach.Developed under the umbrella of the European Boating Industry (EBI), the project will be backed up by a database and assessment tool, to allow small and large manufacturers to access the green transition.Among those involved with the project include, Amel Yachts, Amer Yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>, Bavaria Yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7047" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Beneteau (Company)">Beneteau Group</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7265" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere Del Pardo (Company)">Cantiere del Pardo</a>, Catana Group, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a>, Fountaine Pajot, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6194" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Grand Large Yachting (Company)">Grand Large Yachting</a>, Greenline, Inha Works, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>, Sasga, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunreef Yachts (Company)">Sunreef</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a>.The environmental sustainability consultancy Quantis has been chosen as technical partner for the project, with ICOMIA, the International Council of Marine Industry Associations, acting as a strategic partner of the project to ensure global alignment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308818/image/large-e1d9f5e94b0e65abeb83a659c96ef5a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308818">“This is a unique and highly welcome cooperation,” explained Robert Marx, President of EBI. “For the first time, competing manufacturers are committed to jointly addressing the sustainability challenge.”The project will be conducted in two phases, first focusing on developing a science-based and transparent environmental footprint methodology to harmonise calculation rules. In the second phase, the focus will be on implementing this with a comprehensive materials database and user-friendly calculation tool.&nbsp;This will allow manufacturers to conduct eco-design and comprehensively reduce environmental impact, as well as communicate the environmental footprint to consumers, stakeholders and regulators. The project hopes to eventually go beyond carbon emissions and include other critical environmental indicators.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308824/image/large-13ce8e821b3be7401b58db04e363f78a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308824">“The outcomes will allow companies of all sizes to access the green transition without greenwashing, reduce environmental impact and proactively shape the regulatory approach in Europe and globally,” added Robert Marx.This combined effort will allow the yachting industry to comply with the latest EU environmental legislation and be ahead of the regulatory curve. The project has already been presented to the EU Commission and has received strong support.The threshold of 24 metres was chosen to align with EU regulations, and will be based on a coherent Life Cycle Assessment approach, following the stringent EU Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules.“We need a proactive and pragmatic approach to sustainability and this project will develop the tools that industry needs,” concluded Robert Marx.
