Yacht Jobs: How to Secure Your Ideal Yachting Position

Finding the right yacht job is not about scrolling through listings. At YPI CREW, we take a personalised recruitment approach, working directly with candidates to match them with roles that suit their experience, availability, and long-term career goals.

Unlike traditional job boards, we do not publicly advertise yacht crew positions. Our recruiters work behind the scenes, in direct contact with captains, owners, and management companies, to connect you with the right opportunities at the right time. This ensures every role we present is a strong fit for both you and the yacht.

If you need support with your CV, take a look at our guide on writing a professional yachting CV and download one of our free, editable CV templates created specifically for the yachting industry.

How to Find Your Next Yacht Job

Our recruitment process is designed to be straightforward and efficient. You will not find job listings on this page. Everything is managed directly through our chatbox, located in the bottom right corner of our website.

From registering with YPI CREW to updating your documents or checking in with your recruiter, the chatbox is your main point of contact throughout the recruitment process.

Exciting Changes Are Coming!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re upgrading to a brand-new system to make your experience faster, easier, and more efficient than ever before. Our new Chatbox feature will replace the current candidate portal, streamlining the way you connect with opportunities in the yachting industry.

During this transition, the candidate portal will be temporarily unavailable until Monday. Thank you for your patience — we can’t wait to share this exciting upgrade with you!

Stay tuned and get ready to explore the future of yacht crew recruitment.
