Find a Crew™ in a nut shell
		Welcome to Find a Crew™
		♦ Find a Crew™ operates worldwide, and is the world's largest, most secure, and most popular international online marine crew and boat network! ♦ Find a Crew™ is NOT a crew agent - we only operate online! But you can call us from over 65 convenient phone locations, in 23 countires around the world. ♦ Find a Crew™ is a network where you can connect with any matching member without a person in between. Members are always in full control! ♦ Registration, listing, searching, and sending a wave is free for everyone. ♦ To exchange contact details, one party is required to be a Premium Member. ♦ Premium Members can contact as many matching members as they like for the duration of their Premium Membership.

How to get started
		Anyone can register
		Find a Crew™ is designed to be as transparent as possible without compromising the members privacy. You have to register as a Free Member to send a wave to matching members, and upgrade to Premium Member to send a message. However you can already see as a visitor what to expect. As our service is entirely internet based we can't make any promises how well our network will work for you in particular, but you won't know until you try it! This is why it's free to make initial contact and see what responses you will get. Registration, listing, searching and sending a wave is FREE for any recreational, professional or commercial boat and crew member? Register Registration is free for all Crew and Boat Members.

The next step
		Making contact - send a wave, or send a message
		This is what Find a Crew™ is all about - introduction! Our network is here to make contact and meet with people you might have otherwise never met. Send a Wave - As a Free Member, you can send a wave to any matching member without exchanging any contact details, unless of course the recipient is a Premium Member. Send a Message - As a Premium Member, you can send a personal message to exchange your contact details with any matching member, or call them directly. Your email address is never disclosed unless you send a 'Contact' or 'Reply Yes/Maybe' message to a matching member. Remember - you can use Find a Crew™ entirely for Free for as long as you wish, but you can only exchange your contact details with Premium Members who sent you a 'Contact' or a 'Reply Yes/Maybe'.

Tips, hints & myths
		When dreams come true
		It's not all champagne, bikinis, and glorious sunsets! (But more often, than not.) While qualifications, experience and intelligence are very often expected - your personality, reliability and adaptability is ultimately what gets you out there. Use your profile to show your personality and passion. Remember, the people viewing your profile use the same instincts as you do to decide whether they want to contact you or not. Be honest and realistic. Upload some photos, and use the 'Dear Shipmates' section to tell more about who you are and what you are after. Find a Crew™ is NOT a social network for buddies to keep in touch. It's a point of introduction with new people! Keep that in mind and take it slowly to make sure your dreams will come true.

Safety
		Meeting people on the internet
		Online introductions can be very daunting for some, but it is no different than meeting new people in the street, in a pub, at a party, on the beach or via a newspaper ad. Regardless where you meet new people, and possibly even make new friends, it's always a good idea to MAKE SURE that the people you meet are who they say they are, and are telling you the truth. Ask as MANY questions as possible! Take it slowly! DON'T pour out your most personal secrets, provide private pictures, and don't give money to someone you only just met or don't even know yet. Build trust BOTH ways, and always let common sense prevail. If you are not sure, simply call us.
