The fleet has arrived. Ahead of race weekend, the bay off Monaco is filling with some of the most spectacular yachts on the water, from MP5 and Pangea to Breakthrough and Kismet, anchored bow to stern across Roquebrune Bay.

It is one of the busiest weeks of the season for crew, and one of the best views in yachting.

Wondering what you should be earning this season?

Salaries come up in almost every conversation we have with crew. What should you be making? What is too low? What can you expect as you take on more responsibility and move up?

Our salary guides are built on decades of industry insight and tens of thousands of real placements, so whatever department you are in, you get a clear and realistic picture of where you stand and where you are heading.

Head to the YPI CREW website to take a look.

Have a great season!

Les Voiles d'Antibes returns to Port Vauban this week for its 31st edition, marking three decades since the regatta first opened the Mediterranean classic yacht season in 1996.

Five days of racing across three classes, Époque, Classique, and Esprit de Tradition, with the world's finest traditional yachts gathering at the Esplanade du Bastion Saint-Jaume from 27 to 31 May. The event remains the first stage of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge and a key date in the international classic racing calendar.

A fitting curtain-raiser to the season ahead, and a reminder of the heritage that continues to shape modern yachting on the Riviera.

A small statistical oddity at YPI CREW. Three of our 22 colleagues, Anna, Caitlin and Sam, all share the same birthday: May 18th.

Out of curiosity, we looked up the maths. In a team of 22 people, the probability that any three share a birthday is just 1.4%.

So we got everyone together for a quick toast this afternoon to celebrate something that statistically should not really be happening. Happy birthday Anna, Caitlin and Sam!

Louise Overend and Fiona Murray spent the morning meeting crew at Le Blue Lady in Antibes with the UKSA team who are visiting Antibes. It was so nice to exchange with them and give advice on landing their next role. Thank you to everyone who attended and to the companies who organised everything.

The Med is moving. Over 25,000 AIS pings tracked across five major cruising hubs in the past two weeks, marking a clear start to the 2026 season. Thanks to BOATPro for the data that lets us see the fleet in motion.
