I am sure yachtty, in his first and only post on this forum, may not filled in all the blanks in this situation. Here is my take on things:

The owner should always be informed as to who is onboard his yacht at all times. Period. Amen.

What Yachtty describes as a "cruise" sounds more like a delivery to me. He did say the vessel was being re-positioned to the Caribbean for charter work. It is conceivable that the captain viewed having family members aboard as delivery crew, and they stayed on a few days after arrival. None of this is egregious in my view, though the captain should have informed the owner.

Yachtty, as Carl posted, it seems quite suspect that you registered to post on these forums seemingly just for this purpose. Do you have anything more that you would like to add about the scenario? Any bits that have been left out?
