• Attractive all inclusive set up & administration fee
• Crew contracts of employment are fully compliant with maritime employment legislation
• Timely & efficient payment of salaries
• Administration is efficiently carried out by our experiences & professional team who are available 24/7

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

As a yacht owner or captain, with responsibility for crew members, there are some issues you need to be aware of.

A key part of the Maritime labour Convention is that all seafarer employees will be subject to periodic inspections to ensure compliance. Accodingly, it is imperative that the employment of crew takes place in a manner that is fully MLC compliant and in line with legal requirements.

EU regulation EC/883/2004 which regulates social security contributions for mariners employed on EU flagged yachts, requires seafarers who are residents of the EU/EEA/Switzerland(citizens or not) employed on an EU flagged yacht must be insured according to the law of the EU flag State, and in that State.

The only exception lies in the case where employer and employee reside in the same Member State; the seafarer must be affiliated in that State for social security.

SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS

Our team are maritime employment specialists who can ensure full compliance with the applicable employment legislation and EU social security requirements for crew employed on Maltese flagged yachts.

In order to address crew employment issues we have implemented the most practical and cost effective solution, now used by several of the worlds most prestigious superyachts (private and commercial) that fly the Malta Flag.

The Crew services structure has been developed with substantial tax and legal advice and is designed to employ seafarers and pay social security contributions in Malta. Our team will look after the following:

• Register the employer as well as the crew members for social security in Malta • Prepare the MLC/EU compliant seafarer employment agreements • Make monthly social security payments as well as compiling and filing the required employment forms • Effect salary payments to the crew members • Maintain the payroll • Ensure continued compliance with social security legislation as it evolves • Register and administer the Yachts Malta Flag Registration

The solution works perfectly for both employers and seafarers, the set up procedure is straightforward and all administration work is catered for by our team.

THE BENEFITS OF PAYING SOCIAL SECURITY IN MALTA

Yacht owners whose crew members are employed on Maltese flagged yachts and who are eligible to pay social security contributions in Malta will benefit from the following:

• Rate of social security contributions is very reasonable compared to other equivalent options. • Cost of running the structure is very competitive. • Crew members will be issued with a letter issued by the Maltese authorities which is equivalent to the social security card. • Persons insured in Malta may benefit from a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) • Persons insured in Malta may benefit from an S1 form if they reside in a Member State other than Malta (on presentation of the salary slips showing the contributions) • Seafarers can also obtain the U1 form to claim unemployment benefits in their country of residence (request possible online) • Regarding the pension aspect, each state pays a rate of benefit which reflects the length of the claimant’s insurance in their scheme; this applies anywhere in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland; a person who has worked for more than one year in two or more of the above-mentioned states will be paid a pension proportional to the periods in these states.

HOW TO PROCEED

We are always up front with our clients in terms of costs and have an excellent reputation in the industry for providing professional services at attractive prices. The administration cost proposed is an all inclusive fee which we believe is very attractive and above all clear with no hidden extras.

Should you wish to proceed with our services we are able to start the process immediately with minimum disruption to all parties.

Our expert staff will be on hand to guide you through the implementation process and to offer advice on options available.

Social Security for Yacht Crew Working on Malta Registered Yachts

Introduction.

It is the purpose of this guide to outline the social security obligations of both employer and employee in respect of yacht crew working onboard Malta registered yachts.

The Malta flag has become one of the most popular European flags for yachts of all sizes and through the Oceanskies office in Malta we register many vessels each year with Transport Malta who are the Maltese vessel registration authority.

Obligations for EU resident seafarers

All EU national and resident seafarers working on a Malta registered yacht must be registered with Department of Social Security in Malta unless already contributing to another EU social security regime (an exemption will have to be applied for, in writing with supporting evidence of the payment of social security contributions in another member state).

For the majority of crew members the social security contribution rates per Monday worked paid by the employer capped in 2024 will be 53.23 Euros for the seafarer (previously 51.60 Euros) and 53.23 Euros for the employer (previously 51.60 Euros).

Maternity contributions are due to be covered by the employer and for the majority are capped at 1.60 Euros.

Benefits of contributing to the Malta Social Security Scheme

1. A European Health Insurance Card offered to those insured in Malta and residing in a Member State other than Malta;

2. Unemployment benefits in the seafarer’s country of residence, claimable following the completion of a U1 form;

3. Pension secured at a rate of benefit reflecting the length of the claimant’s insurance in their scheme paid by any EU, EEA state and Switzerland; and

4. Protection from the repercussions of the French Decree 2017/307 by means of mandatory returns and payments on social security, amongst others. 

The full list of benefits available when contributing to the Malta Social Security scheme can be found on the Maltese government website - https://socialsecurity.gov.mt/en/international-relations/eu-coordination-rules/

Employment of Crew through non EU (offshore) yacht owning or employment / payroll company

Employment of crew through a non EU company (i.e. Guernsey, BVI etc.) does not in any way avoid the responsibility of both the employer and the yacht crew member to make social security contributions in Malta.

Yacht crew members who are employed by a non EU company who are not making social security contributions to the Malta Department of Social Security need to take action and should contact us for further assistance.

French social security decree for seafarers

The Government of France have enacted legislation designed to ensure that seafarers working on French flagged vessels as well as seafarers residing in France are provided with adequate social security protection in line with MLC 2006.

We have prepared a guide providing further information regarding the legislation that can be found here on our website:

French social security obligations for Yacht Crew working onboard yachts flying the French flag or residing in France

Payment of social security obligations in Malta by both employer and employee for yacht crew established in France is complies both with Article 11.4 of EU Regulation 883/2004 (which deals with social insurance liability with regards EU nationals who are resident in an EU Member State and working on board vessels flying the flag of a Member State) and the new French legislation.

The OCL Malta Yacht Crew Employment Service

OCL is registered as an employer with the Malta Inland Revenue Department and, as such, is able to register the yacht crew that it employs with the Malta Department of Social Security and arrange for the payment of social security contributions.

Crew members who are registered will be issued with an S1 Certificate (healthcare cover certificate) and A1 Certificate (social security cover).

Fees for employing seafarers through OCL are as follows (per crew member, in EUROS or currency equivalent):

1. One off fee:

2. Recurring monthly fee:

Malta Yacht Registration

As a result of the clear framework provided by the Malta social security system we have transferred the registration of a significant number of yachts to the Malta register of ships including a number of yachts that are based in France so that their crew can be enrolled into the Malta social security system as an alternative to the ENIM system implemented by the French authorities.

Today Malta is the largest EU register for both ships and yachts and provides many other benefits as a high quality EU register of yachts and the jurisdiction provides yacht owners with other fiscal advantages.

Further Information

To sign up to the OCL crew employment and payroll or to request further information about Malta yacht registration please do not hesitate to contact Tom Becker (who is also a fluent French speaker) here at Oceanskies.

The coastline stretches some 120 miles around the three islands, offering a range of harbors and anchorages, including one of the Mediterranean’s largest natural harbors, the deep-water port of Grand Harbour Marina, which is located right at the heart of the island by the Maltese capital of Valletta. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Valletta is resplendent with ancient buildings, including cathedrals, palazzos, and fortifications from the period of the knights who were driven off the island by Napoleon in the late 18th Century. Further cultural hotspots can be found in the ancient capital of Mdina.

If you want to explore further, the island of Comino and the Blue lagoon is a short distance away on sailing yachts and offers protected anchorages, crystal-clear waters, and fantastic beaches. The sleepy island of Gozo is also worth circumnavigating before returning to Malta. The island remains relatively undeveloped and inland; you will find remnants of monuments and forts spanning back over the past six millennia.

The yachting season in Malta typically runs from late spring to early autumn, roughly from April to October. During this period, the weather is generally warm and sunny, with comfortable temperatures ideal for sailing and exploring the islands.

In particular, the peak yachting season in Malta falls during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures are at their highest, and the seas are warm for swimming and water sports. This period also coincides with the peak tourist season, so popular destinations and marinas may be more crowded.

Malta International Airport is well-equipped with modern facilities, including car rental services, restaurants, shops, and transportation options to reach nearby marinas and harbors where luxury yachts are typically chartered.

Upon arrival at Malta International Airport, you can easily access your luxury yacht charter by arranging ground transportation to the nearest marina or harbor, where your yacht will be awaiting your arrival.

What is the preferred currency in Malta?

The preferred currency in Malta is the Euro (€). It is the official currency used for all transactions, including purchases, dining, accommodation, and other services. The Euro replaced the Maltese lira (LM) in 2008 when Malta adopted the Euro as its official currency after joining the Eurozone. As a result, those on sailing yachts in Malta can use the Euro for all their financial transactions, making it convenient for travelers from other European countries and around the world.

Expert insights into yacht crew management with our Head of Crew Management

In the complex world of luxury yacht management, efficient crew employment and payroll administration is crucial for smooth operations. Jordon Martel , Head of Crew Management, explains how our bespoke yacht services can streamline these processes for yacht captains and owners, ensuring compliance and crew satisfaction.

Could you explain the significance of specialised crew management services in today’s yachting industry?

In yachting, the crew are as critical as the vessel itself. Specialised crew management services ensure that all employment and payroll aspects are handled proficiently, which is essential for maintaining morale and compliance with maritime labour laws. Additionally, having shoreside support to lean on when required can be invaluable, whether in relation to sourcing the highest calibre of crew for the next trip or compliance with safe manning. Our service helps to navigate these challenges, ensuring that regulations are met and the payroll and contracts are up to date.

Recruiting and retaining good crew is challenging in the competitive recruitment market, so adopting a professional approach to safety and management makes a big difference. Superyacht owners value using the same crew they have come to know and trust, and crew will stay with the same owner if they work on a vessel with a professional system and culture. 

What unique challenges do captains and owners face in crew management?

Yacht owners often grapple with the complexities of legal compliance across different jurisdictions, which can vary widely from one flag state to the next, especially concerning employment and payroll. We simplify this with our bespoke solutions, such as setting up a crew employment structure in compliance with Maritime Labour Convention standards, taking into consideration their specific requirements.

Our services ensure that each yacht’s strategy aligns with local regulations and best practices. This tailored approach helps mitigate risks associated with non-compliance and crew dissatisfaction.

Can you describe Praxis’ crew employment and payroll solutions?

Our crew employment and payroll solutions handle everything from drafting compliant Seafarers Employment Agreements to efficient payroll processing, including handling deductions and benefits. For instance, for a yacht operating under the Malta flag , we ensure that all applicable crew members are making social security contributions into Malta, as well as ensuring crew deemed to be French residents (by residing in the country or virtue of time spent), are complying with French laws and paying into an ENIM compliant private pension scheme.

We have two comprehensive packages, Crew LITE and Crew Classic , designed to alleviate the administrative burden on captains and owners, allowing more focus on the voyage and experience and less on the paperwork. Our innovative digital portal provides seamless management of crew documents and payroll details, ensuring everything is accessible and secure.

How does Praxis ensure data security and privacy when managing crew information?

Data security is paramount. We utilise advanced security measures, including encryption and secure data centres to protect sensitive information. Our commitment extends to compliance with the EU’s strict data protection standards, ensuring that all crew information is managed with the highest level of security and confidentiality.

Are there any potential risks of not using a crew employment service?

Yacht owners can be exposed to several risks, including non-compliance with maritime labour laws, which can lead to hefty fines and legal disputes, and the arrest of the yacht itself. Additionally, mismanagement of payroll and crew contracts can cause dissatisfaction among crew members, potentially leading to high turnover and disruptions in operations. Without expert guidance, owners may also struggle with the complexities of social security regulations across different jurisdictions, increasing the likelihood of administrative errors and financial liabilities.

How do these solutions address the challenges of managing crew payroll in various international jurisdictions?

A frequent challenge is the complex logistics of crew payroll across various jurisdictions, each with its regulatory demands. Our payroll solutions simplify this by managing all aspects of crew compensation and mandatory social security contributions in compliance with applicable laws.

This ensures legal compliance and enhances the crew's overall efficiency and satisfaction, allowing them to focus on their core operational duties without worrying about administrative complexities.

What future trends do you foresee in yacht crew management?

Digital integration is becoming essential in yacht crew management . We expect an increasing number of yachts to adopt digital systems that enhance management efficiency. For instance, our Yacht and Crew Portals facilitate real-time updates and document management, meeting the growing need for accessibility anytime, anywhere. This shift towards digital platforms streamlines operations, ensuring seamless management of crew data and operational tasks.

Home: Inside the star yacht of Below Deck Mediterranean season seven

Television network Bravo has confirmed the return of Below Deck spin-off Below Deck Mediterranean as the seventh season wraps up filming in Malta. The hit reality series, which follows a yacht crew over an eight-week charter season, will premiere its new season on July 11 with Captain Sandy Yawn at the helm of an all-new yacht named Home . Take a look inside...

The 50 metre Home was built by Dutch shipyard Heesen in 2017 as a 'home away from home' for her owner. It was one of the first superyachts of its size to feature a hybrid propulsion package, which makes her 48 per cent more efficient than other 50 metre yachts, and is the first diesel-electric motor yacht to appear on Below Deck .

The yacht was started on speculation and construction was already underway when her owner joined the project. Home 's lines were designed by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and inspired by another Heesen build, the 50 metre Sibelle . A vertical bow serves a dual purpose, helping the yacht to carve through waves, but also creating more room on the interior to place the crew accommodation. In order to stay under 500GT, Omega created walkaround decks with cut-out bulwarks that offer uninterrupted sea views from each of her two lounges.

The interior was started on spec but wasn't to the tastes of the owner, who brought in designer Cristiano Gatto to rework the design. The new brief was for a modern, comfortable interior; the keyword was simplicity, not minimalism. 

Home can sleep up to 12 guests in six cabins: a full-beam master suite can be found on the main deck, while a full-beam VIP cabin, two double cabins and two twins are found on the deck below. The decor takes inspiration from the owner's on-shore properties with a contemporary, "Ibiza-style" feel. Low-slung sofas are featured throughout with a palette comprised of white, black, grey and a deep red.

The sun deck will be a popular spot with guests during the series. There's a sit-up bar shaded by a hard top as well as a Jacuzzi and a dancing pole. A quartet of sun loungers can be found aft with yoga mats tucked underneath, while a projector and a screen set-up can transform the deck into an outdoor cinema. 

Another spot for riotous evenings is the sky lounge, which in effect is an extension of the outside deck with beanbags, day beds and teak flooring. The space is serviced by a bar and is a popular spot for lounging in the cool air and taking in the view. Alternatively, the doors to the aft deck can be shut, the furniture removed, a mirror ball and a smoke machine can be added and the area becomes a dedicated party room.

More fun can be found on Home ’s foredeck, in a telescopic seat that rises from the bow, allowing uninterrupted 360-degree views. It can even be used underway if the conditions are right. 

Captain Sandy will be joined by returning Below Deck cast member and deckhand Mzi “Zee” Dempers, as well as a trio of new department heads. 

Home is currently available for charter with Burgess starting from $245,000 a week. She is also jointly listed for sale with Burgess and Christie Yachts asking €29,500,000.

EXCLUSIVE: Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 in Malta onboard superyacht HOME

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Editorial Team   28 October 2021

Bravo's much-beloved maritime hit has been seen filming in Malta for season 7 of Below Deck Mediterranean, with crew members spotted aboard superyacht HOME  and our exclusive superyacht data tracking her whereabouts confirms that she will be the new superyacht for this upcoming season.

Fans of the extremely popular reality TV show, which chronicles the lives of crew members working aboard a superyacht, will be extremely happy to hear the long-standing Captain will be back at the helm in the eagerly awaited new season.

Photos appear to confirm that fan favorite Captain Sandy will be returning to our screens as will Courtney Veale and Mzi "Zee" Dempers. It's expected season 7 will be aired in May 2022, but no official announcement has yet been made regarding its release nor the yacht and crew members.

Superyacht HOME in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7

This marks the first time superyacht HOME appears in the show, following the appearance of elegant charter yacht LADY MICHELLE in season 6. The 180-foot Benetti cruised Croatia's sunkissed coastline and myriad islands while the show's many antics took place on her decks.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lovin Malta (@lovinmalta)

49m (160ft) superyacht HOME is a multi-award-winning vessel that can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests across 6 palatial staterooms. First launched in 2017, she features beautifully proportioned decks for exquisite indoor/outdoor living and boasts a whole raft of charter-focused amenities that will enthrall guests. 

Our tracking data shows charter yacht HOME has primarily been docked in the stunning sun-dappled Valletta harbour overlooking the majestic Fort St.Angelo, but has dropped anchor in the serene Golden Bay, Mellieha Bay and Xemxija Bay too.

From her convivial sundeck setup replete with Jacuzzi and glowing cocktail bar, to her panoramic sky lounge and state-of-the-art water toys, she certainly has the wow factor required for Below Deck Mediterranean.

Four Yacht Victims Likely Died After Depleting Air Pocket In Sunken Italian Ship: Reports

Breaking News Reporter, HuffPost

Four of the seven people killed when a luxury yacht sank off Italy’s coast last month likely died after depleting a pocket of air they had found while trapped inside the submerged ship, according to several reports.

Autopsies found that the victims — Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judith, lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda — likely died from suffocation following the Aug. 19 sinking, Reuters reported Thursday citing judicial sources.

None of these four victims, who were found in the same cabin, had water in their lungs, suggesting they didn’t drown, the BBC also reported citing Italian news agency Ansa.

This type of death was described as “dry drowning,” which is when all of the available oxygen is consumed, leaving only carbon dioxide, CNN similarly reported citing local media.

The autopsies of two of the other victims, British tech star Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, are expected to take place on Friday. The autopsy of the ship’s onboard chef, Recaldo Thomas, has been delayed pending contact with his family in Antigua, CNN reported.

The 184-foot British-flagged ship was carrying 22 people when it was hit by a violent storm while anchored off the coast of Sicily in the early morning hours, causing it to capsize and sink within minutes, authorities previously said.

Of those on board, 15 were rescued by the Italian Coast Guard. The survivors included Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who Reuters previously reported owns the firm that the yacht is listed under.

The group had been celebrating Lynch’s recent acquittal of fraud and conspiracy charges related to the $11 billion acquisition of his software maker Autonomy to Hewlett Packard in 2011, survivors have said.

An investigation remains underway into the cause of the ship’s sinking, including whether it was caused by human error.

Ritz-Carlton’s Ilma Sets Sail on Maiden Cruise

• September 5, 2024

The Ilma officially kicked off its maiden season for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection earlier this week.

After being delivered by the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in mid-July , the 456-guest vessel received its first paying guests on Sep. 2, 2024.

On that day, the Ilma departed from Monaco for a seven-night cruise to France and Italy that is set to end in Rome.

The open-jaw itinerary features visits to Cannes, Saint Tropez, Livorno, Bastia and Porto Cervo, as well as Monte Carlo and Civitavecchia.

During its maiden season, the LNG-powered ship then offers a series of seven- to 12-night cruises to the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Aegean.

Extending through late October, the program also features departures from Piraeus, Barcelona and Civitavecchia.

In November, the Ilma arrives in the Caribbean for a winter cruise season that features sailings from San Juan, Fort Lauderdale, and Bridgetown.

For its first cruise in the region, the ship offers a six-night itinerary departing from Puerto Rico that includes ports of call in St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, Antigua and the British Virgin Islands.

Before receiving its first guests earlier this week, the Ilma operated training voyages across the Mediterranean .

With over 350 crew members onboard, the 37,000-ton vessel underwent a series of preparations during the period while visiting ports in France, Portugal, Malta and more.

Debuting a new design, the Ilma became the largest ship in the fleet for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which also includes the 298-guest Evrima.

Currently under construction for the brand at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique Shipyard, the Luminara is also set to join the company’s fleet.

A sister to the Ilma, the vessel is scheduled to enter service in July 2025 ahead of an inaugural season in Europe.

The Luminara then marks Ritz-Carlton’s debut in Asia , offering ten new itineraries in the region between December 2025 and May 2026.

Rescued yacht crew return safely to Sydney

Two people stranded at sea off the New South Wales coat have safely returned to Sydney.

It comes after a daring multi-agency rescue operation.

The 19-metre yacht they were on ran into trouble in rough weather a long way off the South Coast.

The pair were forced to activate a distress beacon.
