Crewing for Yacht Delivery Services

When you're thinking about a job in the yachting industry, don't overlook delivery jobs when conducting your search. There are several reasons yacht owners or management companies look for crew to deliver their yacht. One common reason is that the yacht either has been refitted or is going to be refitted and it needs to be transported to or from the shipyard. Another reason many yacht owners hire delivery crew is that they are planning a special cruise in another country and they need a crew to get the yacht there safely.

While some owners simply choose to have their yachts shipped to their destination, having an experienced crew onboard delivering the yacht can actually save money. For example, the delivery crewmembers can perform many of the small repair or maintenance tasks that need to be accomplished before the yacht reaches its destinations.

Yacht owners also like having their yachts delivered rather than shipped because it gives them more flexibility in the schedule and route.

Freelance or Delivery Service Company?

When it comes to getting a job delivering yachts, you may have two choices open to you. First, if you're a qualified, trained, and experienced captain, you can look for work independently as a freelance worker. That means that you will have to market yourself, network on the docks and local area, and drum up the work yourself. You may also have to hire a few crewmembers to work with you. If you are well connected in the industry this could be a good alternative for you.

However, for most crewmembers, it's highly likely that you will need to sign on with a delivery service company. These companies specialize in this kind of service. Some delivery companies also offer additional services like training, consulting, or delivering other boats than yachts. Opportunities include:

• Yacht captain positions
• Yacht engineer jobs
• Positions for mates
• Deckhand jobs

Since these are one-way trips, you'll receive a per day fee as well as your food, and the client should also supply a plane ticket for you to return to the home dock or city.

Here’s What We Know About the Moscow Concert Hall Attack

The assault on a popular concert hall was the deadliest act of terrorism in the Russian capital in more than a decade.

• Share full article

By Ivan Nechepurenko

• Published March 23, 2024 Updated March 24, 2024, 3:29 p.m. ET

An attack Friday at a popular concert venue near Moscow killed 137 people, the deadliest act of terrorism the Russian capital region has seen in more than a decade.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack; American officials have attributed it to ISIS-K, a branch of the group.

Russian officials and state media have largely ignored ISIS’s claim of responsibility and instead suggested that Ukraine was behind the violence. Ukraine has denied any involvement, and American officials say there is no evidence connecting Kyiv to the attack.

Russian authorities have detained at least 11 people, including four they say were directly involved. But they have not identified the assailants or their motives, other than to say that their four main suspects are foreign citizens.

Here’s a closer look at the attack.

What happened?

The gunmen entered the Crocus City Hall building, one of the biggest entertainment complexes in the Moscow area, with capacity of more than 6,000, shortly before a sold-out rock concert was scheduled to start. Armed with automatic rifles, they began shooting.

Using explosives and flammable liquids, Russian investigators said, they set the building ablaze, causing chaos as people began to run. The fire quickly engulfed more than a third of the building, spreading smoke and causing parts of the roof to collapse. Russia’s emergency service posted a video and pictures from after the fire showing charred seating and firefighters working to remove debris.

Russian law enforcement said that people had died from gunshot wounds and poisoning from the smoke.

At least three helicopters were dispatched to extinguish the fire or to try to rescue people from the roof. The firefighters were only able to contain the fire early on Saturday; the emergency service said it was mostly extinguished by 5 a.m.

The search for survivors ended on Saturday, as details about the victims began to emerge. Many of the more than 100 people injured in the attack were in critical condition.

Russia’s Investigative Committee, a top law-enforcement body, said on Sunday that 137 bodies had been recovered from the charred premises, including those of three children. It said that 62 victims had been identified so far and that genetic testing was underway to identify the rest.

Where are the assailants?

Attackers were able to flee the scene. Early on Saturday, the head of Russia’s top security agency, the F.S.B., said that 11 people had been detained in the connection to the attack, including “all four terrorists directly involved.”

There were signs that Russia would try to pin blame on Ukraine, despite the claim of responsibility by the Islamic State. The F.S.B. said in a statement that the attack had been carefully planned and that the terrorists had tried to flee toward Ukraine.

A Russian lawmaker had said earlier that two terrorism suspects had been detained in the Bryansk region, southwest of Moscow.

How are Russians responding?

President Vladimir V. Putin, who claimed victory in a presidential election last weekend, did not publicly address the tragedy until Saturday afternoon. In a five-minute address to the nation, he appeared to be laying the groundwork to blame Ukraine for the attack, claiming that “the Ukrainian side” had “prepared a window” for the attackers to cross the border from Russia into Ukraine.

But he did not definitively assign blame, saying that those responsible would be punished, “whoever they may be, whoever may have sent them.”

The attack has punctured the sense of relative safety for Muscovites over the past decade, bringing back memories of attacks that shadowed life in the Russian capital in the 2000s.

Russia observed a national day of mourning on Sunday as questions lingered about the identities and motives of the perpetrators. Flags were lowered to half-staff at buildings across the country.
