The crew must live up to the high standards demanded by the owner and officers. They know they will be recognized and rewarded when they succeed and know; equally well, they will be told and corrective action taken if they fail.
Life aboard a superyacht is not always exactly what you want it to be. But you are part of a team and will be expected to do your job to the best of your ability, to give and accept support from your crew mates, and never, not ever, not even once, loose your cool and become angry or aggressive. Without a top performing crew, no ship can be successful.
Captains of superior commands are particularly adept at molding their crew into a highly unified, spirited, team with a professional focus on keeping the yacht and her equipment in prime condition and the owner and guests happy.
Because the Captain and officers frequently explain what they want done and why. The crew knows what is expected of them and each person feels part of the team.
The result is enthusiasm, motivation, and pride in the command. In addition, crew members are careful about following the chain of command. They know that violating it disrupts teamwork, creates confusion, hurts morale, and hinders leadership.
Members of excellent crews realise that success depends on a team effort. They communicate frequently, coordinate activities, and help each other out when necessary. Crew members take responsibility and ownership for their jobs. They have a sense of duty that helps them to always keep their cool and be professional on duty and off duty, aboard ship or ashore. Excellent crew members are mature and respectful of themselves and others.
An excellent crew is always aware that everything they do is important aboard a ship. Each crew member takes full responsibility for what they do or do not do and judge their own behaviour on the ultimate mission goals; keeping the ship in top condition and the owner and guests feeling comfortable and appreciated.
Excellent crew members take the initiative and are proactive. Superyachts are designed and built to super high standards and this means they have equally high standards of maintenance. Every part of a superyacht is integral and vital to the operational whole vessel and needs constant, proactive attention from the crew. Excellence requires integrity; every crew member aboard the superyacht must adhere to strict moral and ethical principles. Each member of the crew, including the officers, must be honest, fair, open, and dedicated to the owner, the guests, and the vessel itself.
Excellent crews take pride in their work, their vessel and in their team. Superyacht Crew Academy Provides training and certification for people who wish to work on Superyachts anywhere in the world and within the Australian Maritime Industry.

Teamwork is Excellence Members of excellent crews realise that success depends on a team effort. Just because you aren't on your boat doesn't mean we get to take advantage of whatever exotic place you have us. Superyacht guests and owners have been known to make an extreme request or two , like taking last-minute helicopter trips or flying in soda to a remote island. Every yacht has a chef on board to whip up extravagant meals for the owner or guests — and crew members said they take advantage of it when they can.
Some superyacht owners are down-to-earth and great bosses, some of the crew members surveyed said. Others, not so much — and it makes some crew members feel unappreciated.
The crew sees "how cheap and not classy" guests are, said a crew member who has worked as both a mate and a junior engineer on yachts ranging from to feet. A little more in salary or tip goes a long way," the crew member said.
They added: "Caring about the crew as people and their basic needs makes crew respect owners more. And sometimes the boat budget is so tight that you can't obtain things for the vessel that would improve the look or performance of it. Many superyacht guests think crew members get a break when they, the guests, go ashore, but that's not the case.
Then they return and say, 'Did you have a nice rest? A stewardess on a foot sailing yacht said there were a lot of things she'd like to tell guests — like that it's hard to accomplish everything, so a lot of the job is "fake it till you make it. She continued: "It's pretty easy to convince people with smoke and mirrors.
A lot of times you also have to pretend there aren't problems when in fact there are major problems. For example, she said, "things break on boats all the time. For you.
