I might be wrong but I think you might need to up the price a bit to entice someone who would do justice to the yacht, owner and position. Try forgetting the school fees and doubling the cash.

The US Guidelines are $8K - $15K per month for a Yacht up to 200 feet. Above that quickly escalates.
Your expectations aren't unreasonable being tax fee income with many incentives.

Still is on the low side. Having the family there is nice, I am not sure how many westerners are keen on relocating their families to the UAE.

Good luck finding someone. Right now is the time of year for crew change overs, so you should find someone.

Living And Working Abroad

After reading some of the above replies and questions regarding salary for the above posistion, I would like to pass on my personal opinion and advice. As a Captain that has worked several years in the Far East/ Middle East I have found that most Eastern owners offer the same extra such as car, housing, etc. The salaries vary depending on schedule etc. What is most important is,The owner your working for and can you deal and adapt to having mostly Asian crew onboard. If your unhappy with the owner or have problems with the crew, all the money in the World won't keep you there. So my point is you need to really think it out before committing. It's not like taking a gig for a Med season or a winter in the Carib.

Good Luck

Wink All good posts

Yep, $1000-$1250 per foot is the norm. I have never considered accomodations as part of the deal. What is tax free? You still have to file and there are ex-pat taxes, so I do not know what they are talking about. Annual airline ticket is the norm. However, if they recruit in the oil patch circuit, they may find someone for $5000 a month, y'all!!

PASS!!

If you want somebody there try with 12000$/month + 13th + benefices.
Few captains will consider seriously your offer for anything less.
Good lack.
