Our network & our experience in crew placement2025-12-10T21:50:46+01:00

We are industry professionals with many years of practical experience on board and ashore. Through our professional positions and assignments, we are internationally networked – with crews, captains, schools, shipyards and agencies in various countries.
Owners benefit from this, who need a reliable, proven crew – whether for a season or permanently. This is crew placement.

What do you do for owners as part of crew placement?2025-12-10T21:41:34+01:00

We support owners in finding the right crew for their yacht – from the captain to deck and stew crew, to specialists for longer passages.
We listen carefully, understand the usage, area, and requirements on board – and then only suggest candidates who are a good fit both professionally and personally. That is our crew placement service.

Whom do you employ for crew placement?2025-12-10T22:09:46+01:00

In crew placement, we work with professionally experienced crews, freelance skippers, and ambitious newcomers with solid basic training.
Important to us are: good seamanship, a professional demeanor, teamwork skills, and enjoyment in dealing with guests.

What services do we offer in addition to crew placement?2025-12-10T22:01:45+01:00

In addition to classic crew placement, we offer the following, depending on the project:
