About Scout Crew
Scout Crew is a Palma de Mallorca agency describing itself as an MLC 2006 compliant seafarer placement and recruitment service. Checked live in July 2026, the team cites over 30 years of combined experience as crew and onshore, and places chefs, officers, stewardesses, engineers, captains and deckhands across private and commercial yachts.
What distinguishes it is a genuine sailing-yacht focus. Alongside motor work, Scout advertises roles on large sailing programmes, including dual-season positions that ask for large sailing yacht experience and a Yachtmaster Offshore ticket, with OOW preferred. If you are sail-inclined rather than motor-only, that specialism is worth having on your side.
Registering is done by submitting your CV to an external talent-pool form rather than a quick on-site signup, so set aside a few minutes to complete it properly. The visible board is light, which is normal for a boutique, relationship-led agency.
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 Scout Crew
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.
