About Crewseekers
Crewseekers is a long-running crew introduction site, describing itself as the original of its kind and established for more than 25 years. Checked live in July 2026, it is run by experienced sailors and connects crew with yacht owners for sailing voyages worldwide, across the UK, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and beyond.
Its audience skews firmly towards sailing rather than professional superyacht work: local sailing, offshore watchkeeping, mile-building passages, long-term cruising and some professional sailing vacancies. Owners register free to post opportunities, while crew pay a membership, from 75 pounds for six months, to unlock contact details and reach as many owners as they like.
So this is the right tool if your goal is sea miles, ocean passages and cruising experience, and the wrong one if you are after a paid interior or deck job on a large motor yacht. Weigh the membership fee against how actively you plan to sail.
No agency should ever ask you to pay to register. They are paid by the yacht that hires through them, never by you. If anyone asks for money upfront to join their books or guarantee a placement, treat it as a red flag. See yacht crew job scams and red flags.
Registering well with Crewseekers
Having the link is the easy part. Turning up with a clean CV and your certificates ready in one folder is what gets you remembered. Register with a handful of agencies rather than just one, since each works with a different set of yachts. Our guide on how to register with yacht crew agencies walks through it, and pairs well with dockwalking in Antibes and Palma so you are working both channels at once.
Register with everything ready to go.
Agencies ask for your CV and certificates as one tidy folder. YachtSync keeps your STCW, ENG1 and the rest on your phone and exports them as a clean PDF you can email in seconds. Free for crew.
