Licenses and certifications verified, references actually called, and a working interview wherever possible. We place people we would put on our own fleet — and often have.

Can you find crew for a single day or delivery?

Yes — vetted freelance captains and crew for day charters, deliveries, and short-notice cover are a core part of the service.

Do you handle crew payroll and contracts?

Yes, end to end: employment terms, pay runs, and scheduling, aligned with the management program if we run one for your vessel.

What if a crew member doesn't work out?

We say so early, and we replace them. Continuity of standard matters more than continuity of any one hire.

Crew

Yacht crew services and placement.

Crew services

The crew is the yacht.

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.

We place and manage crew for yachts based in Miami and South Florida, from single-captain day boats to fully crewed vessels.

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 we handle

Sourcing & vetting: licenses, references, and sea time verified; we interview before you do
Placement: full-time, rotational, seasonal, and freelance day cover
Payroll & scheduling: contracts, pay, rotation planning, and coverage without gaps
Standards: service training and presentation to the house standard, not the marina average
Continuity: a bench of vetted freelancers so a sick day never cancels a charter
