Hiring for the deck, done privately.
CrewConnect is a private hiring platform for sportfishing and yacht crew — built so crew can find their next boat without their current captain finding out, and captains and owners can hire without broadcasting it to the dock.
Why we built it
Crew hiring in this industry runs on Facebook groups, dock gossip, and gut feel. Crew can't look for the next program without exposing themselves to their current one. Captains and owners sift hundreds of unvetted messages and still hire on a hunch. Both sides lose. CrewConnect fixes the parts everyone hated: the lack of privacy, and the lack of real fit.
What makes it different
- Anonymous until you connect. Crew and programs stay private until both sides choose to reveal.
- Matched on fit, not just paperwork. A behavioral assessment scores compatibility on temperament, schedule, and experience — built on the same research the U.S. Navy uses to evaluate submariner compatibility.
- A public Open Board. Not ready for a profile? Post a job or your availability the old-fashioned way — no setup required.
- Crew is free — always. Building a profile, searching, and getting matched never costs crew a thing.
Who it's for
Sportfishing boats, charter fleets, and yachts — the captains and owners who need reliable crew, and the crew who run the deck, the cockpit, the engine room, and the interior.
CrewConnect is in early access.
