About Faststream Recruitment
Faststream is one of the larger names in maritime recruitment, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Southampton, with offices in the UK, Singapore and North America and more than one hundred consultants. It recruits across shipping, cruise, energy and executive search, so yacht crew are one desk within a much bigger business.
That dedicated superyacht crew desk covers interior, deck, engine, galley and medical roles, for both permanent and contract positions globally. The firm holds an MLC Declaration of Conformity. You register through the website portal to access superyacht vacancies.
Being corporate has trade-offs. You get scale, structure and a long track record, but not the boutique, first-name feel of a small yacht-only agency. If you want a recruiter who works only on superyachts, weigh that; if you value a large, established operator with wide industry reach, it suits.
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 Faststream Recruitment
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.
