Crew services

Crew

The crew is the yacht.

Crew services

Recruitment, contracts, payroll, training, and travel — handled by a single crew manager who has done the work themselves and can read a CV in thirty seconds.

The standard

Without the right crew, every other service is theatre.

A captain we know personally is worth more than any management contract. We recruit from a small bench of people we have sailed with, trained with, or worked alongside for years — and we are honest with owners when we don't have the right candidate.

What's included

  1. 01

    Recruitment

    Captains, chefs, engineers, deck and interior — sourced from people we have sailed with, not online job boards.

  2. 02

    Contracts & payroll

    Compliant employment structures, monthly payroll, ENG1 medicals, STCW certificates — managed end-to-end.

  3. 03

    Training & travel

    Coordinated training schedules, travel bookings, and visa logistics so the crew arrive ready, not in transit.

  4. 04

    Compliance

    Local and international employment legislation — MLC, MCA, USCG — handled by an HR-qualified manager.
