Find a Crew™ in a nut shell  

  Welcome to Find a Crew™

 


• Find a Crew™ operates worldwide, and is the world's largest international online marine crew and boat network!
 

• Find a Crew™ is NOT a crew agent - we only operate online!

• Find a Crew™ is a network where members can connect directly without a person in between. Members are always in full control!
 

• Registration, listing, searching and initial contacting is free for everyone.
 

• To exchange contact details, one party is required to be a Premium member.
 

• Premium members can contact as many 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 member to make contact, however you can already see as a visitor what to expect.

 

Registration, listing, searching and initial contacting is FREE for boat and crew members. We only show the members who have logged in during the last 45 days, so you know the listings are current.

 

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! This is why it's free to make initial contact and see what responses you will get.

Tips, hints & myths  

  When dreams come true

 


It's not all champagne on deck and glorious sunsets. While qualifications and experience 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. 

     
     
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.

 

Ask as MANY questions as possible! Take it slowly! DON'T pour out your most personal secrets, provide private pictures, or give money to someone you only just met.

 

Build trust BOTH ways, and always let common sense prevail. If you are not sure, simply call us.
