Additional Yacht Havens Perks

Long Service Awards - We like to recognise and celebrate significant milestones by presenting Long Service Awards. To acknowledge loyalty and dedication to the company we present these awards after 10/20/30/40  years of service. 

Berth Discount - After successful completion of your probationary period, we will offer staff discounted berthing for their own boat up to 10m LOA during employment, providing there is berthing available.   

However, should you leave the company for whatever reason, this benefit will cease with immediate effect at midnight on your last day of employment and the berth charge will either revert to the full rate or you will be asked to move your boat.  The company reserves the right to alter this discount. Please contact your manager to discuss this directly.

Training - We support and actively encourage continuous training and development for our staff to reach their full potential. Please reach out to your manager to explore potential opportunities relevant to your job role. *Please be aware, if you leave the company within 12 months of undertaking a training course which is otherwise mandatory to your role, the total cost of the course will be deducted from your final pay. 

Local Benefits - Around the group, some locations establish local business affiliations to provide employees with additional perks and incentives including discounts at on-site restaurants, on local services and local gym memberships, so it's worth checking with your manager to find out what is available to you locally.

Death in Service - We operate a non-contributory lump sum benefit scheme equivalent to twice your basic annual salary, which is paid to your nominated beneficiaries, subject to the Trustees' discretion, should you die whilst in service. The scheme is open to every employee aged 16 or over up to the age of 75 effective from their first day of employment.  Should you leave the company, this benefit will cease with immediate effect. This is an ex-gratia and non-contractual benefit, and renewal is at the discretion of the company and may be discounted at the scheme's anniversary, which is 1st April.  Should it be discontinued, the company will of course give reasonable notice.
