How was the evidence assessed?
This is a qualitative hiring-signals study, not a vacancy census. Research covered employer career pages, specialist recruiters, job boards, salary guides, industry reporting, government guidance and podcast material.
Key points from this page
- Important limitation:
Each item is classified as one of the following:
- Listed vacancy: visible on an employer or recruiter page, but not independently confirmed as still unfilled.
- Dated advertisement: evidence of recruitment at the stated date; a past joining date does not establish a current opening.
- Announced appointment: evidence that a person joined, not proof of net headcount growth.
- Recruiter benchmark: indicative compensation guidance, not a verified salary for a proposed charter yacht.
- Practitioner commentary: useful context, not a statistical measurement of demand.
Undated listings are explicitly identified. Advertised compensation is not treated as accepted or paid compensation. Private-only programmes and unspecified yacht usage are not counted as direct charter-demand evidence.
Important limitation: many crew advertisements conceal the yacht’s identity. Without authorised confirmation from its manager, no anonymous vacancy should be attributed to a yacht on a buyer’s shortlist.
