Crew houses in Viareggio

Written by a working superyacht captain · rates seen on the day they are quoted

The one real crew house

La Bougainville, Via Giuseppe Verdi 20, is walking distance from the beach and a short hop to the Darsena. It is the name that actually shows up in crew guides and on My Crew Kit. Its own website did not resolve in this sweep and no official per bed rate card could be found. Guest reviews and booking platform listings put rooms anywhere from roughly EUR 58 to USD 119 a night depending on the room and the platform, so confirm the rate direct before you travel.

Two properties on the Passeggiata, Suite Carducci and Hotel Tahiti, market directly to yacht captains, crew and shipyard professionals with corporate and long stay rates rather than a published crew tariff. Book by contacting them directly or through the booking platforms.

How crew actually book

Nothing here takes a walk in for a single night in refit season. Crew houses and seafront short lets fill from shipyard word of mouth and returning crew referrals. The safest lead time is a few weeks before a known refit start.

Where these came from

mycrewkit.com, labougainville.it, suitecarducciviareggio.com, hoteltahiti.it, amicoshipyard.com, pestoseagroup.com, genoasuperyachthub.com, and Booking.com, Airbnb and Tripadvisor listings for the named properties, all checked 19 August 2026. The yachting-pages.com accommodation pages returned a bot check to every fetch, so only search result snippets were readable there.

When to arrive and who hires

Beds are half the question. The season decides whether turning up is worth the airfare, and the agencies decide whether anybody reads your CV once you are there. Both are on the Viareggio hub page, along with the map and the daywork rate.

Your CV is the only thing that walks the dock when you can't.

I read a CV in about thirty seconds. Most green CVs lose me in ten. SeaPapers builds the one a captain expects: yacht fields, department templates, two-page discipline. Build yours before you book the flight.

on SeaPapers, the CV builder for yacht crew

Find out what your role needs before you book a single course.

Deck, interior, galley and engineering all want different paper, and half of it has an expiry date. See the list for your role, then keep every certificate, medical, passport and visa in one place a boat can open with one link, with an email before anything runs out.

Then store them in the SeaPapers folio.

Both live at SeaPapers. One account, one link to the boat.
