Captains need crew before the next passage and crew are job-hunting on their phones. A slow, one-sided site loses both to a sharper agency.
Captains and crew want different things. A single generic page speaks to neither and converts neither.

A streamlined mobile sign-up with roles, tickets and availability that grows your talent pool.
A vacancy form capturing role, vessel and timing that routes urgent captain briefs to you instantly.

Testimonials and placement track record on the page so both sides trust you enough to reach out.
Captains need qualified crew before the next passage, and crew are job-hunting from their phones between charters. A slow, one-sided site loses both to a sharper agency. We build fast superyacht crew-agency websites designed for the two audiences you actually serve: a clean hiring path for captains and management, and a frictionless registration and job-search experience for stews, deckhands, engineers, and chefs.
Everything runs on WordPress you own, loads quickly on a phone in a foreign marina, and presents your agency with the polish this industry expects. Crew profiles, positions, and availability are searchable and filterable, so a captain can find a candidate with the right tickets and rotation in minutes rather than an inbox thread.
The heart of a crew agency is its database and its board. We build a two-sided system, crew register and maintain profiles, captains post berths and search candidates, all with the access controls and discretion the yachting world demands. Sensitive details stay behind login, not exposed to the open web.

It depends on the depth of the crew database and job board, and the access controls you need. We scope one flat price rather than nickel-and-diming features. Our marine website cost guide sets honest ranges, and a free audit converts that into a firm quote for your agency.
A crew-agency build with a database and job board typically takes a few weeks longer than a brochure site, because there are two user flows and access controls to get right. We scope the timeline clearly upfront so you know exactly when captains and crew can start using it.
The two-sided crew database and job board. Crew register and maintain profiles with their tickets and availability; captains post berths and filter candidates. Getting that search and the access controls right is what makes the agency efficient. A free audit shows whether your current setup is holding you back.
Yes. Discretion is designed in. Sensitive crew and position details sit behind login with proper access controls, not exposed on the open web. Captains and crew see what they should see and nothing more, which is exactly the confidentiality this industry expects from a serious agency.
