A diligent and consultative Crew Agency

Whether you’re looking to crew a new build pre-launch, busy charter or private yacht at any point in the season, we work in partnership with owners, Yacht Management companies and Captains to develop rewarding relationships for all stakeholders.

By following a stringent due diligence, pre-screening and verbal referencing process, Quay Crew ensure that any prospective crew put forward has the desired skills and aspirations that align with your goals for a positive onboard experience and crew culture.

Our consultative approach means we are able to help both candidates and clients set realistic expectations, working in the best interests of everyone involved, which maximises performance and longevity.

Between our team of consultants, who are all former crew themselves, we have the specialist onboard experience, industry knowledge and candidate relationships across all levels.
