Specialist Yacht Crew Support

Tax advice that understands an international career at sea

Yacht careers often involve constant travel, overseas employers and changing jurisdictions.

Yacht and superyacht crew may spend much of the year moving between countries, international waters, marinas and different vessels.

Where you live, where the yacht operates, how much time you spend in the UK and the structure of your employment can all affect your tax and residency position.

We provide practical tax and accounting support for professional yacht crew, helping you understand your UK obligations and the international issues that may affect your earnings.

Why yacht crew tax can be different

Yacht crew can work across several countries during a single year while being employed by an overseas company and spending relatively little time in their home country. Residency, vessel status, voyage history and where your duties are performed can all affect your tax position.
