A clearer way to build your team
CrewDeck helps yacht owners, captains and employers find people for their team. Search crew profiles, compare relevant experience and shortlist candidates before reaching out. You stay in control of the conversation and the hiring decision.
Be clear about the vessel, responsibilities, dates and cruising plans. Decide which experience and qualifications are essential, and which skills would be helpful. A specific brief makes it easier to recognise suitable candidates.
Use CrewDeck to explore professional crew profiles and compare experience, skills and availability. Shortlist the people whose background fits your needs, whether you are planning a season or filling a particular position.
Contact crew to discuss the role and establish whether there is a good fit. Confirm availability, request relevant documents and references, and explain the working arrangements. The final hiring decision is yours.
Prepare a useful crew brief
Describe the vessel type and size, whether the programme is private or charter, expected cruising areas and the team already on board. These details help a captain, chef, engineer or deckhand understand the environment they would be joining.
Explain the main duties and who the new crew member will report to. On smaller vessels, responsibilities may overlap; make those expectations clear. For interior positions, discuss service style, guest needs and the size of the team.
Identify the qualifications and experience appropriate to your vessel and programme. Review current documents, references and suitability directly. A profile or an in-app verification indicator is not a substitute for your own checks.
Discuss start dates, expected duration, compensation, accommodation and travel arrangements early. Give candidates a clear understanding of the opportunity and confirm the agreed terms before they commit to joining the vessel.
Build your search around the work you need covered: captains and skippers for command, first mates and deckhands for deck operations, engineers for technical systems, chefs for the galley, and stewards, stewardesses or hosts for the interior.

CrewDeck supports profiles across yacht crew roles, including captains, skippers, chefs, engineers, deckhands and interior crew. Check the app for profiles and discuss current availability with candidates; this page does not promise a particular person or role is available.
No. Review qualifications, references, identity and suitability directly before making a hiring decision. As explained in the terms of service, a profile indicator is not a guarantee of professional qualifications; read the explanation shown for any badge.
