Luxury Yacht Group Launches Live Crew Salary Tool on www.luxyachts.com

Oct. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Luxury Yacht Group launches a real time salary statistics tool for the yachting industry worldwide. As a trustworthy resource for crew placement, yacht management, and luxury yacht charters, Luxury Yacht Group (LYG) is raising the bar by becoming the industry resource with its proprietary salary statistics tool.

Knowing the need for addressing industry salaries and with a database of over 50,000 yachting industry members, LYG decided to convert the raw data within this large community, analyze it, and develop a useful tool that provides yachting crew members real time salary statistics.  It tabulates responses from both current crew looking for positions and successfully placed crew candidates on over thirty different crew positions weekly. The salaries, length of experience, size of yacht, and position are all determining factors, which are then communicated to the user through a series of four easy to read graphs charting current crew salaries.

“As a Captain, I knew what my crew members were earning, but I wondered what my peers were paying and what my fellow Captains were making. Now, still in the industry, but from another viewpoint, I have the opportunity to be in the driving seat of industry research,” commented Rupert Connor, President of Luxury Yacht Group.  “With this salary statistics tool, I feel that LYG is adding value to the industry as a whole. This is a helpful, factual, and practical resource for crew, captains, and owners.”

The merit to this tool is in its authenticity; it is real data from crew members and employers. It is not giving opinions as to how much a stewardess, chef, deckhand, or first officer should make, but what crew are making now depending on level of experience, position, and length of yacht.  

To learn more about current crew salaries and trends in the yachting industry, the salary statistics tool is now active on the Luxury Yacht Group’s website. Please visit, http://www.luxyachts.com/crew/job-descriptions.aspx or contact info@luxyachts.com
