Thank you Find a Crew for a great sailing experience and introducing me to many new like minded friends. I have just returned home after 2 months aboard a 38ft sail boat. Skipper and I sailed 34 days from Golfito Costa Rica to Hilo Hawaii....

Over the last 3 years I have found great crew from Find-a-Crew.
There have been some flops, people that never turned up, but, hej, that's people!...

In 9 years and 15 long distance deliveries, Find a Crew has provided the contacts to more than half of them. It is frankly the best means there is, we have covered over 45,000 nautical miles since 2005. And we are doing our second Atlantic crossing in May 2013 on a boat provided by Find a Crew.

Find a Crew is a great tool to find the right match. I'm happy with the shipmate I have found for the next 3 weeks. Hoping to find another good match for May or July cruising.

Until a year or two ago, I had never been on a sailing vessel, hardly spent any time by the sea, living inland. One day I plucked up the courage to visit the social sailing evenings at local yacht club, and never wanted to come back to shore! .......

I have been in this industry for the past 13 years. In that time I have applied for numerous jobs with the so called professional agencies but sadly because I am not the type of person to be on the phone the whole time chatting have had little success. That is where Find A Crew score...

I had an amazing opportunity that I would have never known about or done if not for FindACrew! I just got back from crewing aboard a great 48' Chinese junk-rig Schooner in Philadelphia! ....

Being only a short segment of the trip on the Great Circle Loop from New York, this was two weeks of cruising on the Tennessee River and Ten-Tom Waterway. We enjoyed the trip and the company of Dave and Shirley throughout the journey.

I had a great time sailing in Portugal with Michael. just sent him a wave and after three weeks sailed with him and his lovely international crew. thank you find a crew

I am so overwhelmed by the opportunities and possibilities here. The whole set up and how it's made. no comparison to the german version of it! Only about 5 weeks ago i registered and more 'action' than over half a year on a 'national' website. Impressing!

Seems to work fine connecting soul mates. Took us just three days to find 'our' sailing yacht.

My luck seemed to be running out and then I found the best friend a solo cruiser can have www.findacrew.net. This site provided me access to people seeking just what I had to offer and offering just what I needed. For the next year l had a collection of great people on my boat, some for long stays some short.

Hello
Just a note to say that i have been using find a crew for about 5 years now and it has been a great asset to my world sailing and yachting program. I have joined some brilliant teams.

This is a website for professional and would-be professional sailors. Remember that and treat it with respect! I have been using FindaCrew for a number of years to find people who WANT to learn to sail. I have lost count of the number of great would-be sailors I have met and sailed with, ....

I was just a profile amongst many others and yet waited patiently. One day while looking through the ships looking to hire I sent a wave. I got a no but decided that as the company was nearby, I should send a note of appreciation and that I would be willing to consider working ...

The first time, I asked only a few questions and rushed into a bad situation for the love of the opportunity. The second time, I spent more time on the phone, both talking and listening, and everything turned out GREAT!!!

I have very positive experience using Findacrew services for third year in a row. I have met interesting professional people who have been working as a skippers on my boat...

A few weeks ago, I was able to get out of the NAUTYCAL office, and have my very own Find a Crew™ experience – and I did it with a film crew following along!

"He asked the right question from the start and I also ask question about his boat, his abilities, safety, accomodations, itinary etc. There was no confusion as to what was expected of us and same for him".....

We sailed over 4000 miles in the last two months from Puerto Rico to Bermuda, the Azores, Gibraltar, and on to Menorca. We found our crew through Findacrew and had a great passage. One volunteer crew was even hired on as crew. Next passage we'll again look to findacrew.

Thanks!
