Hi,

Maybe Yachtty has an axe to grind because he/she was not allowed to take their partner along for the trip.

It is different to a certain extent with each and every owner. I have worked for some who were very happy to have senior crew members family onboard for a delivery and others who would want to know what rate they were paying. It takes all types.

If the Captain chooses to do something strictly against the Owners wishes then it will be his head that roles if he is caught out.

You might also find out that the Captains Contract differs markedly from that of other crew on board in the benefits he receives and the things he is permitted to do and not do.
