How much does a Yacht Engineer earn?

Chief Engineer

239 chief engineers have contributed with their salaries. On yachts 65m and below, charter salaries outperform private salaries; however the roles are reversed on larger yachts over 66m, where chief engineers on private yachts earn more than their colleagues on charter vessels. The salary for a chief engineer starts at €5000 and the greatest earning potential is to be had with permanent contracts on board yachts 101m+ where a chief engineer on a permanent contract commands an average monthly salary greater than €12000.

2nd Engineer

109 second engineers contributed with their salaries and those with permanent contracts on the three largest categories of yachts – 66-80m, 81-100m, 101+m – had the greatest average monthly salary of over €6000. In the two largest categories of yachts – 81-100m and 101m+, there is also little discrepancy between the salaries of permanent and rotational crew. The average salary for a second engineer starts at around €5000 a month. Salaries for second engineers on charter yachts between 41-80m in size are greater than salaries for second engineers on private yachts.

3rd Engineer

Third engineers on yachts greater than 51m in size contributed with their salaries and average monthly salaries range from just below €3000 a month to more than €5000 a month for both permanent and rotation contracts on yachts 101+m.
