What Our Clients Say: Real Stories from the Yachting Community

At our yacht crew placement agency, we pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with both crew members and captains. But don’t just take our word for it – here’s what the yachting community has to say about working with us.

Captains Share Their Experiences

Captain Mark Downes from M/Y Qing has worked with us for several years and highlights our attention to detail: “Linda is extremely attentive and easy to work with. She will only send candidates who she feels will fit the existing crew, the boat’s program and its owners. She goes to great lengths when interviewing candidates to ensure that they are the right fit. Linda is always available and very quick to respond to any request I might have. I highly recommend Linda for your crew placement needs.”

The quality of our service extends beyond just placement. Captain Steve Rodda from M/Y Avangard II notes: “Darryl and Linda are both long-term yacht crew who listen to what captains want. The owner recently complimented me on the quality and stability of the crew this season and they have been a big part of that.”

Captain Mark Downes also shared his appreciation for our targeted approach: “Thanks for all your help in finding the right crew for us, even when we have been in remote places. I appreciate you sending only those CV’s that are relevant for what we are looking for. I look forward to working with you in the future.” (M/Y Plan B)

Crew Members Tell Their Stories

Building Long-Term Career Success

Chief Stewardess Kate Hobson from M/Y Amanti shares how we’ve supported her throughout her yachting journey: “Linda is the best agent hands down and has always placed me in good jobs. She takes her time to find the right fit and she cares. Linda has played a vital role in my yachting career as she placed me over 7 years ago as a green stew and I have never looked back. She says it as it is and has always been available for advice, guidance and expertise. She is really so good and passionate about what she does and it stands out.”

Exceptional Service and Support

Chief Stewardess Laura Lander, who has worked on both M/Y Ace and M/Y Princess Marianna, emphasizes our comprehensive service: “Thank you Linda for being such a fantastic crew agent. Not only did you place me on Princess Mariana as chief stewardess, a job that I have thoroughly enjoyed for the past 2 years, but you have also consistently provided me with top class candidates when I have been looking for new stewardesses. I really appreciate that you take the time to listen to exactly what I am looking for in the new crew.”

Stewardess Leobelle Palaganas from M/Y Tatoosh highlights our ongoing support: “Working with Ms. Linda and I have to say that she is very accommodating and very professional. I really appreciate all the help and support that she has given me. Even after I had the job she still continuously sending me emails asking me about the work and how the yacht and crew is. I am truly grateful for the opportunity.”

Engineers Appreciate Our Dedicated Approach

Engineer Daniel Spark from M/Y Madsummer kept it simple but heartfelt: “I just want to say thank you so much for your time and effort in finding me my dream job.”

Engineer Carel Du Plessis from M/Y Octopus praised our comprehensive support: “Linda did an exceptional job. Linda assisted me throughout the process and she was more than willing to walk the extra mile in assisting me, from paperwork to be completed, to tips on my next move. Without a doubt, one of the best agents.”

Chefs and Deckhands Value Our Personal Touch

Head Chef Paul Squires appreciates our personalized recruiting approach: “Linda has a fantastic approach when it comes to recruiting in a way like a HeadHunter. She takes the time to get to know you and what you are looking for. This is that special personal touch a lot of competitors are lacking where you are just cannon fodder or a number on a system. I have been in the industry for 9 years and have only a select few agents I use.”

Deckhand Phil Vermuelen was impressed by our round-the-clock service: “The process went incredibly smoothly and without any hiccups. Linda helped me whenever I had a question or needed any advice. Her replies were almost immediate, no matter what time it was. Personalized service makes a big difference and I had nothing short of amazing service. She is extremely professional, and they help their clients whenever they can, day or night.”
