A yacht management team includes every member besides the owner who has a role to play on the yacht. Every crew member of the yacht management - members who are part of the technical support management, yacht maintenance engineers and experts, finance and accounting team members, insurance brokers and yacht manager or captain of the yacht makes the entire yacht management team. Some work ashore behind the scenes such as shore side support, shipyards, contractors, refit specialists, yacht builders and some are working onboard such as the crew. here

All marine vessels, including your yacht, have to follow safety protocols at sea. The most vital of these are the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, which your yacht manager should be well versed with.
The ISM Code was implemented by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to maintain an international standard set of safety and pollution prevention rules. The ISPS Code, which is an amendment of Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), deals with the minimum safety requirements.
Governments and marine vessels (like your yacht) are supposed to adhere to these. Preventative measures are taken if safety requirements are not adhered to. here

So you have a few hundred million dollars lying around and felt the urge to buy a beautiful shiny new Yacht. With that purchase comes a lot of responsibilities. But as a Yacht Owner who has time for that, nobody, right! That's where a highly skilled Yacht Management team comes in, taking care of your yacht in all aspects. What a yacht management company can do for you is not limited to the management of the yacht, they can also look over saftey, security measures, accounting, crew, technical and operations support to name a few.
You can decide if you wish to employ a business that can take care of all your superyacht management requirements or hire individual experts for each field depending on your budget.
Either way, yacht management is the best way to maintain your yacht without actually having to move a finger. But if you’re not sold, then listed below is what yacht management looks like up close. more

While owning a yacht is the easy part, managing one is extremely hard. As mentioned before, recruiting yacht management companies allows you to maintain your yacht in its best condition without having to do any of the day to day tasks.
As an owner, you can be as involved as you wish and step out completely. But when you’ll need your yacht, the management will have everything set as you wish. Luxury yacht management, however, can cost more in the long run than buying a yacht. Expected running costs of a Yacht over 60m can be 10% of the price tag. This includes crew, maintenance, insure and as expected the big ticket Management running costs. [links]

Depending on the company you choose for your yacht management, yacht services will vary. However, most companies allow you to tailor your superyacht management needs.
Your yacht management team can take care of simple things from catering for parties, planning charter itineraries with assistance from the captain and the financial costs for yacht maintenance to repairs and other expenses of living. Yacht services also include staff for security and safety measures and a crew to handle the technical side.
Simple things like housekeeping to more critical matters like budget and yacht insurance are also carried out through yacht crew management services.
Yacht services include all kinds of catering that you would expect from a hotel, but the only difference is that it is on water (and hence, yacht services also include emergency response services in case of any mishap). A Yacht Management company will take care of all the headaches and hassles that Owning a Luxury Yacht brings, so you can enjoy your new yacht without worrying about Safety, crew, maintenance, insurance, audits, class, flag regulation and compliance and the other million and one tasks that get taken care of behind the scenes on a daily basis.

Ring Command bezel
Rolex achieved perfection when it turned its attention to redefining the purpose and functionality of the bezel. Typically, a bezel operates independently from the internal mechanism; however, the Ring Command bezel in the Yacht-Master II regatta chronograph operates in conjunction with it.

Many Rolex watches are available with the now-legendary combination of yellow, white or Everose gold and steel known as Rolesor, but Rolesium is a creation specific to the Yacht-Master. While the case and bracelet are in rugged Oystersteel, the bezel of the Rolesium versions is made of 950 platinum, imparting a silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity for an unmistakable sense of luxury.

A: It is very interesting that you have brought up this question at this time. The British Virgin Islands passed a law on Feb 1st 2005, that any vessel chartering in their waters must have a qualified Captain on board with a qualification recognised by the BVI. Here at IYT, we issue dual certification for American citizens. That is a 200 Ton Yachtmaster Offshore certificate and a USCG 200 Ton Masters license. This helps satisfy both administrations so you can work in both the BVI and the USVI.
IYT holds the dual Yachtmaster course once a month in our Ft Lauderdale facility. Details of entry level requirements, course schedule and pricing can be found on our website.

Q - I intend to operate a charter boat on the USVI. I heard that the USVI have special regulations, different from the USA. What kind of license is needed in those islands? Does the boat have to be US flagged? Knowing that I will be based from the USVI, am I allowed to do charterers pick ups in the BVI?
Thank you very much.

The IYT Yachtmaster program is so successful, it is now recognized by 24 Governments worldwide including not only the MCA but also the U.S. Coastguard among others. The demand for our certification as a standard of excellence is such that we now have 33 licensed schools in 20 different countries and this is growing every week.
With regard to the RYA registered trademark in the U.K., it is interesting to note that the MCA, who coined the phrase, refuse to recognise the RYA registration. The "International Yachtmaster Training" name and logo, is however a federally registered trademark in the United States. more
