Nautilus International supporting seafarers in the yacht sector

YachtChefs.com recommends to chefs to join the seafarer union Nautilus International and to then use their services when you have any issues onboard your yacht.

Here is an update from them for 2024:

2024 Achievements:

This year, our team successfully assisted members with a wide range of issues, including wage disputes, contract concerns, physical and mental health support. We're particularly proud of our work in the yacht sector, where we recovered over £1m in unpaid wages. This demonstrates the tangible benefits of Nautilus membership for maritime professionals.  You may have seen the overall finalised 2024 figures recently published -
