About Northrop & Johnson Crew
Northrop & Johnson is a large, full-service superyacht brokerage, and its crew placement arm uses that global network to match crew. Offices run from Fort Lauderdale and Antibes through Newport, Palma, Monaco and Hong Kong among others, so the reach is genuinely worldwide.
It places every department, captain, chief officer, engineer, chef, bosun, deckhand and interior, plus specialty crew for diving, fitness, wellness and beauty. Because the agency sits inside a brokerage, its consultants are close to the vessels and owners they represent. Crew register through its superyachtcrew.io platform, which it runs alongside The Crew Network, to build a profile and apply.
For crew there are useful free resources: salary guides in both dollars and euros, CV templates and examples, and industry articles. Being part of a big brokerage means a more corporate process than a small agency, but the trade-off is scale, reach and direct proximity to the owners doing the hiring.
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.
