Nautilus International supporting seafarers in the yacht sector

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Nautilus International Update

Dear Valued Partners,

As 2025 draws to a close, we at Nautilus International extend our warmest wishes for a restful holiday season with family and friends. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing collaboration and shared commitment to supporting seafarers within the yacht sector.

2025 Achievements

Our team has been dedicated to protecting our members this year, handling a wide range of issues—from unpaid wage claims and workplace discrimination to providing a vital support system for those navigating disciplinaries, contractual disputes or health struggles.

In early 2026, we will release the total amount of money recovered for crew in the yacht sector. As in previous years, these figures are substantial and demonstrate the significant value of Nautilus membership for maritime professionals. Please look for the finalised 2025 figures to be published soon.

Dedicated Yacht Member Resources

Crew and officers continue to have exclusive access to the Yacht Hub, a comprehensive digital resource featuring industry guides, resources, and news.

On a global scale, Nautilus continues to represent our members' voices at the highest levels, including active participation in ILO MLC conventions and IMO discussions.
