●career + wellbeing for yacht crew. by yachties, for yachties.
€60k earned.
€3k saved.
Here's where it goes.
Yacht crew earn well and save little. Burn out happens quiet. Nobody is building tools for the parts of this job that hurt. We are. Free for crew. Always.
●if you've ever
Sound familiar?
Earned €60k. Don't know where it went.
Last shore leave, you spent more than three crew make in a month.
Haven't had a real conversation in seven weeks.
Watched your bunkmate cycle through their second antidepressant.
Tried to apply for a shore job. Got ghosted.
Want out. Don't know what out looks like.
If any of these landed, you are who this is for.

Four conversations the feed skips.
01 / Career transition
Life after yachting. Skills translation. The shore-side step.

Burnout, boundaries, isolation, the quiet stuff.
03 / Community
Healthy hobbies, peer connection, alternatives to dock parties.
04 / Financial
Offshore tax, FX, mortgages, savings, the leak.
Three sections. One page. Twenty minutes.
Lifestyle inflation
where the small leaks live.
Shore-leave compression
five ports. seven weeks. nobody bought it.

What we won't do.
We won't sell your email.
We send the worksheet, then three short essays, then nothing unless you reply.
We won't store your numbers.
The worksheet is a PDF. You fill it in. We never see it.
We won't run a guru funnel.
We don't have one. The point of this is help. The money comes later, if it comes.
●every sunday · 20:00 utc
Every Sunday. One-minute voice note. Mental health, direct.
Voice-led, narrated by Kate Onduty (our AI-synthesized voice). No clinical talk. Follow @theoffwatch — the notes drop as Instagram stories every Sunday.
By yachties. For yachties.
We are a few people who have been on board long enough to know what hurts and what helps. Captains, interior, deck, eight to fifteen seasons each. Still on board through 2026. We started this because the conversations about money, exit, burnout, and what comes next don't happen at the crew table. They happen in private, late, after the damage has already started.
(Ilya, captain. He started this. He'll tell you why if you reply to the welcome email.)
(Kate Onduty is our virtual voice — AI-synthesized, acting on behalf of the Human Crew above. While we're off watch, Kate is on duty.)
