Common Questions
What positions do you place?
All positions: captains, first mates, engineers, stewardesses, deckhands, chefs, and specialized roles like ETO (electro-technical officers) or dive instructors. We handle both permanent crew and rotational positions.
How do you vet candidates?
Every candidate undergoes license verification, minimum two professional references from previous captains or owners, background screening, and a structured interview. For captain positions, we also verify sea time logs and insurance history.
What if the crew member doesn't work out?
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee on every permanent placement. If the fit isn't right within the first 90 days, we restart the search at no additional fee.
Can you help with crew payroll and administration?
Yes. We offer crew payroll services including tax withholding, benefits administration, and maritime labor law compliance. This is especially valuable for owners who prefer not to serve as direct employer.
How quickly can you fill an emergency position?
We maintain a roster of available professionals for urgent needs. Emergency placements — captain departure, sudden charter booking, or medical leave — can typically be resolved within 24–72 hours.
