FAQ

What does ‘Green Crew’ mean in yachting?

In the yachting industry, the term "green crew" typically refers to a group of crew members who are new to the industry or who have limited experience working on yachts. "Green" can refer to their lack of experience or to their lack of familiarity with the specific yacht or operation they are joining.

"Green crew" members may be less familiar with the yacht's systems and procedures, and may require more training or supervision than more experienced crew members. They may also be more prone to making mistakes or requiring additional guidance as they learn the ropes.

Some yacht owners or charterers may prefer to hire more experienced crew members, as they may be more efficient and require less supervision. However, "green crew" members may also be seen as a good investment, as they may be more motivated and willing to learn, and they may be able to grow and develop their skills over time.

It is important to keep in mind that being a "green crew" member does not necessarily mean that you are not qualified or capable of doing the job. With time, training, and experience, you can gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the yachting industry.
