The deckhands usually make around $3,500-$4,500 a month, while a bosun would make a little bit more at approximately $5,000 a month.

However, that’s not including tips the whole crew receives from guests on the boat.

Throughout the season of Below Deck, the crew reportedly bring in around $15,000 per person in tips for about six weeks of work.
