2. About Main Raise Crew
Main Raise Crew is a Guernsey, Channel Islands based provider of offshore yacht crew employment and payroll outsourcing services.
Is a fully independent marine and aviation consultancy specialising in the registration and documentary support of yachts, aircraft and their crew.
Main Raise Crew was founded to handle the increasing volume of requests that Main Raise Yachting , his partner in france, was receiving from yacht
owners for assistance with the employment of their crew all around the world and from different nationality, fiscal residence , social security .
The requests being received from owners were resulting from the variety of complex jurisdictional issues that they were facing in terms of
employment law and the payment of tax and national insurance, for example:
-The differing jurisdiction of a yacht’s ownership, registration, homeport and areas of navigation;
-The impact of international legislation such as the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (“MLC”); and
-The personal circumstances of each crew member in terms of where they are domiciled, where they might be resident, (if they have an ‘onshore’
residence), and where they might be liable to pay tax and/or account for social security.
-It is the aim of Main Raise Crew to simplify arrangements through a practical and cost effective framework by taking over responsibility for the -
employment and payment of yacht crew on behalf of the yacht owner.

employment and payroll vehicle for both small and large yachts.

6. Procedure For Employment of Crew
The yacht owner will enter into a contract with Main Raise Crew , for the provision of crew employment and payroll services for their yacht.
In cases where a third-party yacht manager is involved it is possible to have a tripartite agreement clearly apportioning responsibility between the
manager and Main Raise Crew, so that the employment and payroll services can easily be dovetailed into the vessel’s existing management
structure.
The yacht owner and/or yacht manager funds Main Raise Crew, on a monthly standing order to cover each crew member’s salary plus costs.
In line with the requirements of MLC when employing crew we always insist on:
- holding sufficient funds to cover the crew-member’s notice period and any accrued holiday entitlement OR the inception of satisfactory insurance to
cover these obligations;
- being paid for the salary one month in advance; and
- being noted as co-assured on the yacht’s Employer’s Liability Insurance or Protection & Indemnity policy.
- Every crew member is provided with a maritime contract of employment known as a Seafarer Employment Agreement (SEA) with Oceanskies Crew,
or a subsidiary.
The crew are paid monthly in arrears on a standing order basis.
