Guides
For sitters: find your way aboard
Explore yacht care, agreed stays and life aboard as an individual or couple.
YachtSitting team · Updated:
You do not have to be a digital nomad to take part. Participants may offer practical skills, provide local checks, seek an agreed stay or share daily life aboard. A couple should describe both people’s experience and check whether the space and responsibilities suit two.
Your own remote work is separate from helping an owner with their business. Internet, power and a suitable workspace must be checked for each boat. Creative, administrative or digital support is optional: agree its scope, hours and compensation separately.
Agree the actual terms
Accommodation may be exchanged for duties, carry an agreed stay fee or involve a contribution to actual living costs. Professional care can instead be paid work without accommodation. Separate these amounts, materials and tools; do not assume a free stay or unpaid work. When the owner lives aboard, sharing actual living costs is also possible without care duties unless these are separately agreed.
Check permissions before proceeding
Confirm the owner’s consent, marina rules, insurance terms and applicable local requirements for the specific arrangement. Permission cannot be inferred from a listing or profile. Ask the marina and insurer directly; these guides are preparation, not jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
Start at your own pace
We are developing YachtSitting with our first users. Features are introduced gradually; profiles do not guarantee a match, available stays or bookings.
