Quarterdeck (QD) lists professional crew on its public booking page so clients can hire skippers, chefs, hosts, instructors, photographers and other staff for yachts, chalets, private homes, day jobs, weekly jobs, seasonal positions and long-term placements.
If you've been booked this way, this article is for you.
Pay structure
Pay for direct-listed assignments are based on the rate you list and the length of the engagement. The pricing tiers used on the QD listing page are:
Example Day rates (you are free to list yourself at any given pay rate) |
€170 |
€200 |
€230 |
€250 |
€270 |
€300 |
Your specific rate is agreed with QD when the booking is confirmed. Note: it's a competitive market and you need to decide at what rate you list yourself.
How to invoice
Wait at least 3 days after the assignment ends.
Open your invoice page in your profile.
Tick the completed assignment to add it to a new invoice.
Add any "manual items" (within 2 weeks of the assignment ending), with receipts where reimbursable. A manual item refers to any other agreed cost agreed to add to the assignment.
Check your bank details and the invoice status.
Press Submit.
What can go on this invoice

Important reminders
Group multiple assignments onto one invoice where possible. This speeds up our invoicing process, especially during the Mediterranean summer season when we are extra busy.
Always check the invoice status. If it says "Pending," we cannot pay it.
Manual expenses must be added within 2 weeks of the assignment ending, with a receipt.
