You can be a Free Member forever! As long as Find a Crew™ will be hosted on the net, you will never ever have to pay to register, list your profile, search any listings or send internal messages to members - this will stay free.

As a Free Member, you can make direct contact with any number of listed members who match your profile, but only exchange contact details with Premium Members who have contacted or replied yes to you.

You do not have to become a Premium Member. You can use, trial, make initial contacts, and familiarise yourself with the Find a Crew™ network for as long as you like without being a Premium Member. However, as a Free Member you can only exchange contact details with Premium Members who 'Contact' or 'Reply Yes' to you.

Registration is a 4 step process and should take less than 10 minutes, even with moderate internet experience.

Step 1 - Your email address and password to create either your boat or crew member account.

Step 2 - About you - your details and your location information.

Step 3 - About the position - details of your availability and what you are looking for.

Step 4 - 'Dear Shipmates' - extra information, write in your own words to tell more about yourself.

When you complete your registration and view your 'My Profile' page, you will see some messages with suggestions about how to further customise your profile, and to confirm your email address and phone numbers.

Age is no constraint with Find a Crew™. If you are young or seasoned, we welcome you to our network as we can't check how old you are anyway. For your own safety we suggest that you enter your real age rather than pretend to be 19 when you're 17, or 65 instead of 85 for that matter.
However, you are certainly allowed to write in your 'Dear Shipmates' section if you are 80 going on 25!

Most Premium members pay their fee by credit card , and hence are most likely over the age of 18 anyway.

Boat members who take crew members under the age of 18 aboard should assure they have parental permission!

If you are under 18 years of age and wish for an opportunity to go day sailing we encourage you to do so provided your parents know you have registered with Find a Crew™! Crew members under the age of 16 are not included in the automated matching but can still be viewed by members, or contacted by boat members.

As soon as you complete your profile, it will be live on Find a Crew™. Profiles do go through an automated monitoring process to ensure that no-one misuses or abuses the system, and to keep the quality of our member profiles at a high standard. This process also helps us to detect any fraudulent or spammer attempts to misuse Find a Crew™. Most of these attempts are stopped before they go live, and if they do, are usually detected within a few hours.

Yes, you just register individually as Crew Members, select Couple / Team in the positions, and then write in the 'Dear Shipmates' section that you are a couple or a team and write the account number of your partner or team mate(s) and describe your situation. Boat Members can then search your partner or mate(s) by account number if they wish to find out more about them.
