The final thing I’ll say about the type of agencies just mentioned is that they do offer a more direct way of both searching for jobs and being sought out by employers. That can be useful, but the downside is that, without a crew agent intermediary, both employers and job seekers carry a lot more risk. Without proper screening on both sides, you never know what you’re going to get. This can make things more time consuming, especially on the side of employers, who are the ones typically benefiting from having the more professional agencies checking references, pre-interviewing, and getting to know the candidates. From the crew perspective though, without knowing who’s behind these jobs (especially for those new to the industry), you might be playing with fire a bit. Proceed with caution.
And also know that this type of job search option will likely be much more valuable to you once you’ve been in the industry awhile and know what to look out for (and also have enough experience to attract good employers).
Beyond these Internet-based crew agencies above, there are a couple online job-search sites where you can register and apply for specific jobs that catch your eye. They work slightly different and are separated out for that reason. Click here to view a list of online yacht-crew job listing sites .

chief stewardess, i was first introduced to bespoke crew when i was personally called for a reference check. as we know, the industry is small, and we are all somehow connected by social interaction. checking references, especially verbal references, is of utmost importance when trying to find that “perfect fit” for your yacht. i immediately knew that the friendly, trusted voice on the end was doing their job diligently, trying to find that ‘perfect fit’ for another captain, and i respected that. we have worked closely with bespoke crew for nearly three years and have only positive feedback to contribute to their professional service. most, if not all, the crew has served on a longevity basis, all of whom fit in very well with our crew dynamic. i can highly recommend bespoke crew for your crew placement needs., aldon beukman -

When looking for work onboard a yacht, a yacht crew recruitment agency is the place to start. Consultants can provide an invaluable service, finding the right role to suit your personality, skill set and ambition. Below is a list we’ve compiled explaining how you can be sure to get the most out of yacht crew agencies and find that role thats perfect for you.
A good first impression can go a long way. Be sure that you introduce yourself in a friendly and professional manner, but most importantly, make them remember you. You can do this by either a phone call or email. Having a good rapport with your recruitment contact will encourage them to want to help you. We would all rather help someone we get along with rather than total strangers, so work with the recruiter; not against them.
Why not try the Live Chat feature on our website every Wednesday to introduce yourself to a member of our team. It’s a great opportunity to talk to one of our consultants directly and have any questions answered instantly.
Do you need help with a CV? Are you worried that you struggle with interviews? Ask for advice! Yacht recruiters are there to help bring the best out of people and do what they can to appropriately prepare you for your applications and interviews. Utilise your communication with recruiters and don’t be afraid to ask and learn about the tricks of the industry.
Having a good relationship with a recruiter can benefit you now and in the future should you wish to find work elsewhere. They can be there for you throughout your career, and also help on the other side when you might need to hire crew yourself. We like to take the time to find out about our candidates, and have watched many who started out in the industry become Captains, or Heads of Departments over time. You want to find a solid few consultants that you trust and get on with. Refrain from signing up to every agency, although your inbox may be full of opportunities, a consultant you can trust will aim to find you the right fit for your personality and ability.
At the end of the day, it’s your data. If you don’t want it going out without your consent, then be sure to tell them loud and clear. Without doing so will result in your information being put forward for jobs you would never have applied for.
Following on from the previous point, be clear with your recruiter on which roles and variations of roles you are interested in, the more specific you are the better. This may however limit the number of opportunities you’re put forward for. A good yacht recruitment agency should not be sending your CV to jobs which don’t match your expectations – it wastes your time, as well as the yachts’.
It’s important to stay in contact with your consultant because if things aren’t going well, or its not what you expected, we would much rather hear from you and try to advise how you should proceed before hearing from the Captain that it’s all gone wrong, and you have left the boat. Even in instances where you feel the position isn’t the right fit, we can continue to help you through the resignation process and try again for a better fit.
Sometimes finding a good yacht recruitment consultant can be easier said than done. Finding the one who works for you, and has your best interests at heart can be a difficult acquisition. However, do not feel obliged to stay with one that you’re in contact with, if it’s not working out. It is your career and you should dictate whether you feel as though your experience with a consultant is working or not. Read more on how to identify the best kind of recruiter .

Everything you need to know about being a superyacht chef
Why should you use a superyacht crew agent to help you get a job on super yachts?
Why do you even need to register with superyacht crew agents?
and most importantly WHO do you register with to make sure your cv gets to the best captain’s hands faster?
Unlike green deckhands and stews, who usually need to dockwa lk to land their first job on a super yacht . Chefs often pick up their first boat job through a crew agent.
This is because many chefs enter the industry already qualified for the job and with many years of experience. A good crew agent will be able to pair a green chef up with a boat easily and the journey from land chef to yacht chef should be reasonably seamless.
Before registering with any crew agents you will need to have the basic yacht certificates completed, a sample menu or 2, and a decent portfolio of your food photos.
There are plenty of agents out there, and all of them are FREE for you to sign up with. These are some of the best crew agents out there targetting superyacht chefs. And yes, we have ranked them based on OUR experience getting jobs as chefs, and friends’ recommendations.
You can choose to just contact a few agents for work and focus on building a good relationship with them. But there is no harm in submitting your documents and CV to all of the agents.
Bear in mind, adding yourself to these agency databases will take time. Allow around an hour per agent, as some of them have rather long-winded application processes when you first set up.
If you are looking for a professional CV writer, head to www.superyachtcvs.com and chat with them

And then there’s a bunch of smaller crew agents who will get a mixed bag of jobs come through, who are also totally worth signing up with! You might find they tend to have smaller boat roles or more private boats on their books.
But never ever discount an agent based on their size or name. Many of the smaller companies have gotten gigs for well-known yacht chefs on big boats too! And often they get the explorer vessels and lesser-known world travelling boats. Some of them specialise more in sail yachts too, so if that’s your thing, the below agents can be great to contact.
The crew hunter, mys superyacht crew, infinity yachting.
This list is by no means exhaustive! There are literally hundreds of yacht crew agencies around the world now. If you think we have missed a great superyacht crew agent, let us know, and we can list them here.
Many of these crew agencies have been set up by ex yacht crew. mymuybueno is a great example of this, Justine was a yacht chef for many years before setting up her land-based business in Palma de Mallorca. mymuybueno private chefs now have over 11,000 private chefs on their database. We can only assume this makes them the biggest crew agent in the world for super yachting! *register* hint hint
The best thing about crew agents who have worked on boats is that they know the ins and outs of yachting too. They are able to give advice on yachts and be frank about working conditions. Some of them have a culinary background too, so they will understand when you ask if there is a paco jet or sous vide on board. Or if the food budget is tight.
We definitely recommend signing up with at least a handful of agencies when you first start out.
What agents have you registered with, and who have you found good success rates with? Let us know if you think we need to add other agencies to this list for super yacht chefs.

Crewing agents.
In countries where the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 has been ratified , crewing agencies offering recruitment services MUST NOT charge you for finding you work.
In countries where the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 has been ratified , crewing agencies (sometimes named manning agencies) offering recruitment services MUST NOT charge you for finding you work.
The only costs that can be charged to you are those:
The cost of visas MUST be paid for by the shipowner.
Additionally, all private crewing agencies must be regulated and provide an efficient, adequate, and accountable system that protects and promotes your employment rights. The creation of blacklists that could prevent qualified seafarers from finding work is forbidden .
Even if your agency is in a country that has not ratified the MLC, shipowners with ships registered in the flags of countries that have ratified must still use agencies that comply with these minimum requirements.
Depending on which country you come from, your union may offer recruitment services under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. The Flag State must make sure that if seafarers are recruited from a crewing/manning agency in a country that has not ratified the Convention, the shipowner recruiting them must ensure that the agency meets with the MLC’s standards.
Where a crewing/manning agency is publicly operated, it must also be run in an orderly way that promotes your employment rights.
There must be a process in place to enable you to make a complaint if a crewing/manning agency is not run properly and is in breach of the requirements of this convention. Depending on the situation you may need to complain to the authorities of your own country (for example for Filipino seafarers this could be the POEA – Philippines Overseas Employment Agency), those of the Flag State or those of a Port State. You can also contact your union or the ITF for advice.
How to tell if a private crewing/manning agent or recruitment company is reliable?
As a matter of good practice they should also:
