Following Seas Recruiting:

Your Boutique Partner in Superyacht Crew

and Ultra High Net Worth Luxury Estate Staffing

Following Seas Recruiting is an independent, boutique agency dedicated to providing personalized, high-caliber recruitment services for superyacht captains, Heads of Departments (HODs), hiring managers and ultra high net worth luxury estates. Unlike large yacht management firms, we focus exclusively on crew and estate staff placement, offering tailored solutions that prioritize choice, flexibility, and excellence.

Our independence is our strength. We empower captains, HODs, hiring supervisors and estate managers with a curated selection of exceptional candidates, free from the constraints of in-house mandates. Led by founders Linda and Darryl Leathart, our team brings over 40 years of hospitality and yachting expertise. Linda is the driving force and CEO who has extensive experience spanning luxury hospitality and superyachts as a chief stewardess, while Darryl, a former yacht crew member since 1986, serves as Director of Marketing & Logistics as well as a co-owner. With a background as an culinary-trained chef, restaurant owner, and veteran of five-star hotels, Darryl & Linda both bring deep understanding of elite service standards to our recruitment process. Together, they ensure precise matches for roles—from deckhands to chefs, chief stewardesses to massage therapists, captains & engineers alike and elite estate staff—aligning with your vessel’s or estate’s unique needs to deliver seamless integration and outstanding guest experiences.

Choose Following Seas Recruiting for a recruitment partner that values your autonomy, aligns with your vision, and navigates the complexities of crew and estate staff placement with expertise and care. Let us help you build a cohesive, high-performing team tailored to your superyacht or ultra high net worth luxury estate’s requirements.
