Deck, engineering, interior and galley placement for private and charter yachts from 24 to 110 metres. Every candidate verified, referenced and interviewed by us before a CV reaches your inbox.
72 hours to first shortlist 90-day replacement guarantee Zero fees charged to crew
Those aren't in tension. A placement that fails at week six costs the owner a refit-season scramble and costs the crew member a reference.
Four or five candidates, each one spoken to, referenced and checked against the role you described — not forty CVs forwarded from a database.
We're paid by the vessel, never by you. Register once and we'll come to you when something genuinely matches — not every week with roles you'd never take.
From a sole crew on a 24m to a full complement of thirty. Rotational, permanent, seasonal and day work.
We publish the range before you apply. If a vessel won't let us, we don't list the role.
| Position | Vessel | Based | Rotation | Package |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chief Officer | 62m charter M/Y | Mediterranean | Permanent | €7,000 – €7,800 pm |
| Chief Stewardess | 45m private M/Y | Caribbean | Permanent | €5,200 – €5,800 pm |
| Sole Chef | 34m charter M/Y | Palma | 2:2 rotational | €6,000 pm |
| 2nd Engineer (Y3) | 78m private M/Y | Northern Europe | 3:3 rotational | €8,500 pm |
| Bosun | 50m charter S/Y | Antigua | Seasonal | €4,200 – €4,600 pm |
| Solo Stewardess | 28m private M/Y | Fort Lauderdale | Permanent | $4,000 – $4,500 pm |
Packages exclude tips and are quoted gross. Rotational roles are stated as weeks on to weeks off.
Most crewing complaints trace back to a step somebody skipped because the boat needed a body by Friday.
Passport, seaman's book and visa status checked against the vessel's cruising plan, not just the current port.
STCW, ENG1 or equivalent medical and CoC verified with the issuing authority. Expiry dates tracked, not just noted.
Two previous captains or heads of department, spoken to by phone. We ask what went wrong as well as what went well.
Video interview against the actual role — guest count, itinerary, crew mess dynamics — rather than a generic competency script.
We check in at week two and week eight with both sides. Problems surface early or they surface in August.
Crewing is a regulated activity. We work to the Maritime Labour Convention and keep records that stand up when a port state control officer asks for them.
Under the Maritime Labour Convention, recruitment and placement services may not charge seafarers fees for finding work. That covers registration fees, "premium listing" fees and administration charges. We are paid by the vessel, and only by the vessel. Say so to any agency that tells you otherwise.
A placement fee based on the role's annual salary, invoiced when the crew member joins — not on signature of an offer. If they leave or are let go within 90 days, we replace them at no further charge rather than billing again.
A first shortlist inside 72 hours for most positions. Senior deck and engineering roles with narrow ticket requirements take longer, and we will tell you that at the briefing rather than sending weak candidates to look responsive.
Yes, and increasingly most of our senior placements are rotational. We will say plainly whether a package is competitive for the rotation offered — crew compare notes, and a below-market 2:2 will not hold past the first season.
Yes, with honesty attached. Entry-level deck and interior roles are competitive and usually found dockside in Antibes or Palma during the season. We will register you and tell you frankly where you stand rather than selling you optimism.
Your CV goes to a vessel only after you have agreed to that specific role. We don't circulate profiles speculatively, and we don't pass your details to other agencies. You can ask us to delete your file at any time.
Relief and rotational cover, yes. Casual day work we generally leave to the dockwalking networks, which do it better than any agency can.
Vessel size, itinerary, crew count and when you need them aboard. We'll come back with a realistic timeline and an honest view of the package.
