Our history

Find a Crew™ is NOT a Crew Agency - Our network is designed to help you find a good crew or a great boat to join by yourself, which provides a cheaper and faster alternative. Find a Crew™ is suited to people who like to make their own decisions about what is best for them. Crew agents are however also welcome to use our service if it helps them to find the right crew for their clients.

Anywhere! Find a Crew™ is totally online and Worldwide. You can use Find a Crew™ anywhere you have an internet connection, to find or fill crew positions anywhere in the world.

 

Approximately 40% of our members are from the USA, 40% from Europe, 10% from Australia, and 10% ROW (Rest Of World).

Anytime! If you are looking for a new crew or a new crew job or position anywhere in the world, it is worth looking on Find a Crew™!

Find a Crew™ caters for Recreational, Professional and Commercial boating, for boats of all types and sizes, and for all associated crew positions and jobs. Visitors to the site can search and view profiles and have a look around, but must be a registered member to send messages.

Find a Crew™ offers an alternative to finding or filling a crew position whereby members are in full control to make their own choices about what suits them best.

  • Privacy and Security - Our members are in full control of who gets their email address, minimizing the chances of being 'spammed'. All personal data entered is SSL Secure encrypted, and we DO NOT store any credit card details when making payments. Payments are made via a secure online payment gateway, which communicates directly with the member's bank.
  • Make contact instantly - Members can contact any listed crew or boat member who matches their profile to let them know that they are interested. Members can upgrade to Premium Member if, and when they like, to make exchange contact details.
  • Value for money - We offer free registration, free listing, free searching and free initial contacting. We want members to use Find a Crew™ and be happy with the service before paying any money. Paying for a length of time subscription rather than a pay per view gives you more options if the first contact doesn't work out for you.
  • Customer Service - Yes - we are an online service, but are also a business run by real people. You can call us at over 60 phone numbers around the world, and offer fantastic email support 24/7/365. We are here to help!
