Your experience, clearly presented
CrewDeck is a professional crew platform where yacht employers can discover you. Your profile brings your experience, qualifications and availability together. Start with the role you want, then give employers the information they need to decide whether to start a conversation.
Describe your previous roles, vessel types and responsibilities. Include practical skills, languages and the work you are looking for. If you are new to yachting, explain the hospitality, engineering or boating experience you can transfer.
List the training and qualifications you actually hold, with accurate expiry dates where relevant. Requirements depend on the vessel, flag, role and itinerary, so check the requirements of each opportunity with the employer.
Keep your availability and preferred locations up to date. When an employer contacts you, discuss the role, responsibilities, dates and next steps. A complete profile supports the conversation; it does not guarantee an offer.
