When you’re visiting USVI for luxury yacht rentals one of the first questions that pops into mind is how qualified is the crew? Obviously the captain must have experience in sailing, otherwise they couldn’t captain the ship-which means a license, a test, and other necessary qualifications. But what about the rest of the crew? CNN has a list of several qualifications that a luxury yacht crewmember is required to have.
1. The Big Three. The main three things that any crew member needs to have in order to take part in working on one of the luxury yacht rentals in USVI is to have their visa’s, taken the required safety course, and made sure their medical history is up to date. The visa’s ensures that your crewmember is legally capable of working on the yacht, and the safety course is both for you and for them. As a crewmember they are there for your needs and your care, which means they need to know what to do in an emergency. A safety course is a requirement for all charter crewmembers. Finally the medical ensures the health of the crewmember, and thus the health of yourself as well.
2. Tipping makes things easier. Your crewmembers are like waiters and staff seen at a restaurant. They’re not getting paid nearly as much as you think-although a yacht crewmember certainly makes more than your average waiter-but most of their income comes in through tips and tips alone. They spend all the time and hard work, the money into ensuring their qualifications, that a tip can make your crewmembers day. A happy crewmember is a far more effective crewmember, after all!
3. The show must go on. You hear that often in regards to show business, but with luxury yacht rentals in USVI this couldn’t be even more true. Sometimes there are unavoidable disasters that leave crewmembers bereft of certain, key parts of their dynamic. Sometimes it’s not even possible to contact the consumer about a problem as they’re already on the way or aren’t able to be contacted for whatever reason. Yet still a yacht crew is prepared, even when members are down or missing you can be assured of their quality work in your favor.
The crewmembers of your yacht rental are there for you. They are the servicemen and servicewoman of the industry, the waiters and waitresses, the cleaning staff-they are the people who cater to your needs and have the training necessary to do so with aplomb and a smile.
Quality service, crewmembers, and yachts are what Blue Mystic Charters is all about. With years of experience under their belt you can be assured that in the Virgin Islands you’ll get the best of the best.
