Owning a yacht is a real privilege, but its daily management represents an ongoing challenge. Crew recruitment, regulatory compliance, administrative management, financial monitoring, maintenance or even coordination of service providers: every detail counts to preserve the value of your yacht and ensure navigation with complete peace of mind.

This is precisely the role of the Yacht Manager.

More than just a manager, the Yacht Manager is the owner’s trusted partner. He coordinates all technical, administrative and human operations so that the yacht is always ready to sail in the best conditions.

At Christel Pocachard Yachting, we support owners with a fully personalized yacht management service, allowing them to enjoy their yacht without the constraints associated with its daily management.

What is a yacht manager?

The Yacht Manager acts as the real conductor of your yacht.

Its objective is simple: to ensure the proper functioning of the ship, control operating costs, anticipate needs and ensure that each navigation takes place in the best possible conditions.

He works closely with the captain, the crew, suppliers, shipyards, insurers and various maritime administrations.

Thanks to this permanent coordination, the owner benefits from a single point of contact capable of supervising all aspects of his yacht.

Mission n°1 : to recruit and support an excellent crew

A yacht is only as good as the women and men who make it live.

Recruitment is therefore one of the most strategic tasks for the Yacht Manager.

Each crew member is selected not only for their technical skills, but also for their professionalism, discretion and sense of service, essential in the world of luxury yachting.

Recruit the best profiles

The Yacht Manager takes care of the entire recruitment process:

  • Definition of needs according to the yacht’s schedule
  • Selection of applications
  • In-depth interviews
  • Reference check
  • Verification of STCW, ENG1 and other mandatory certifications.

The goal is to build a team capable of meeting the highest standards in international yachting.

Train and retain crews

Recruitment is only the first step. A successful crew is an accompanied crew. Regular training courses update skills in safety, regulation, first aid and quality of service.

At Christel Pocachard Yachting, we attach particular importance to the loyalty of our crews. It is one of the best indicators of the quality of our management. Many sailors, stewards, stewardesses and captains choose to collaborate with us season after season, showing the relationship of trust we have built with them over the years.

This stability directly benefits the owners, who find experienced crews, welded and fully operational.

Manage contracts and payroll
The Yacht Manager also oversees all administrative management of crews:

  • Work contracts
  • Social declarations
  • wages
  • Insurance
  • Compliance with international maritime regulations.

Every aspect is rigorously monitored to ensure full legal compliance.

Organize the daily on board

Planning of rotations, rest periods, coordination of tasks, performance monitoring… The Yacht Manager accompanies the captain in the daily organization to maintain a high level of service throughout the season.

  • Crew wages
  • fuel
