What is Crew Board?
Our platform helps to bring down the cost of yacht recruitment for employers whilst creating a fair and transparent experience for candidates. While some companies charge a subscription fee each month to access a database anyone can join, traditional recruiters bill a month’s salary for each candidate they place.
We manually verify each and every crew profile to MLC standards to ensure a high-quality database of candidates. Our technology then helps us source and screen candidates for specific roles. The time saved using technology makes us more streamlined and efficient. This means that we charge the employers much less than traditional agents for each candidate hired with Crew Board.
Looking For Crew?
If you’re looking for crew to fill a job onboard a yacht or superyacht, then save yourself some time and let our platform do all the hard work.
Junior Crew Commitment
We’re committed to helping junior crew find work more easily, so we don’t charge any fees (ever!) for hiring crew up to a salary limit of less than €3,000 a month.
Unrivalled matching
Our technology helps you to find the needle in the haystack. Every position onboard needs a specific type of person and we believe that technology can help supply the right crew faster and more efficiently.
Managed database to MLC standards
Our database is carefully managed by real people who understand the industry and conform to MLC standards. We personally verify new profiles and also manage applications to provide an exclusive, high-quality pool of suitable candidates.
No rolling fees
Crew Board does not charge rolling monthly or annual fees as we do not have a subscription model. You will pay nothing up to the point of hire. We are also half the price of traditional yacht recruitment agencies.
Six month warranty
We are confident in our abilities and offer a generous six month warranty on crew in case it doesn’t work out for any reason.
Continued improvements
Our system is continually refined and improved based on your feedback and we are committed to providing the best possible service.
How it works for employers

Crew Package
For crew who earn €3000 or more per month, the fee for our introduction is the equivalent of 50% of the candidate’s starting monthly salary. This also comes with a generous six month warranty period. Traditional recruiters will typically charge a full month’s salary and offer a 3 month warranty.
