The crew
The number of crew on a boat depends on the size of the boat. Likewise, the number of jobs on a boat varies with the size of the boat and how long the boat stays out at sea.
The typical crew on a boat that spends days at sea could be:
a captain, 2 mates, 3 sailors, 2 engineer officers, 1 motorman and a cook.
Deck crew
The boat will always have a deck department, this is the captain, the officers (mates) and sailors (deckhands).
Engine room crew
The boat will have an engineering department, this is the chief engineer, assistant engineers and motor men.
Catering crew
If the boat's operations make it necessary, the boat will have a catering departure time, this is a chief cook and maybe an assistant cook, and maybe a steward.
Officers and crew
Like anywhere else, there are supervisory jobs and there are supporting jobs. The supervisory job titles are the captain, the mate and the chief engineer. Jobs titles like sailors, motor men and the cook are supporting jobs.
