Does the crew stay on board?

Yes, the whole week. The crew live aboard in their own quarters, usually forward and separate from the guest cabins, and they are on duty from breakfast until the last guest goes to bed.

On a small yacht you will see more of them than on a large one. If you want the crew ashore for an evening, say so, and they will happily take it.
