What is the minimum number of crew to operate a yacht?
The minimum number of crew to operate a yacht depends on the size and type of vessel. For small yachts operated by one person, a captain with the necessary skills and a license is enough. For medium and large yachts, especially sailing yachts, it is recommended to have at least two people on board — the captain and the assistant. This ensures the safety and efficiency of ship management in various conditions.
