CrewConnectPrivate hiring for sportfishing & yacht crew.
Crew browse positions anonymously. Captains and owners hire discreetly. Both sides stay private until they choose to connect. Pick your side.
Search for your next position without risking your current one.
- Anonymous until you choose to connect
- Paste a resume or upload a file to prefill your profile
- See program info before you commit — no agency commissions
Hire discreetly — without the Facebook-group chaos.
- Your program stays private — no one knows you're looking
- Import a job post to draft the structured requirements
- Review the fit signals before you start a conversation
Today, crew hiring runs on group chats and gut feel.
Crew can't look for the next boat without their current captain finding out. Captains and owners sift hundreds of unvetted messages and still hire on a hunch. Both sides lose.
Facebook groups, dock gossip, and crossed fingers.
- Crew post in public groups — your boat sees you looking
- Captains & owners wade through hundreds of unvetted DMs
- Hires made on gut feel while junior crew turnover remains high
- No privacy, no matching, no accountability
One platform built for both sides of the deck.
- Crew stay anonymous until they choose to connect
- Captains & owners get compatibility-scored matches, not noise
- Decisions backed by reviewed profiles and real fit signals
- Go public on the Open Board only when you want to
Two sides. One simple flow.
Pick your side — the steps adapt to you.
Build an anonymous profile
Add your certs, experience, and the kind of program you want next — visible to no one until you say so.
Get matched on fit
A behavioral assessment scores compatibility on temperament, schedule and experience — not just who has the tickets.
Connect on your terms
Reveal yourself only to matches you like. Your current boat never sees you looking.
Post a position
Keep it private for compatibility-scored matches, or publish to the public Open Board when reach matters.
Review real matches
See reviewed crew ranked by fit — experience, vessel type, availability and references, scored up front.
Connect and crew up
Message your best fits and fill the role — with fewer bad hires and no group-chat chaos.
Matched on temperament — not just the paperwork.
Living on a sportfishing boat for months requires more than matching certifications. Our behavioral assessment is built on the same research the U.S. Navy uses to evaluate submariner compatibility — so crew and programs are ranked on how well they'll actually work together, while both sides stay anonymous until they choose to connect.
Private by default
Privacy is the default, not an upgrade.
CrewConnect separates private matching from the public Open Board. You decide when a search becomes public and when your identity becomes visible.
01
Browse without announcing it
Crew can explore the next move without publishing their identity to the dock.
02
Control the reveal
Your real name stays hidden until you choose to reveal it in an active conversation.
03
Keep the program discreet
Captains and owners can review fit without broadcasting that a position is opening.
04
Use the public board by choice
Public listings are a separate option, with contact details gated behind account and phone checks.
Not ready for all that? Just make a post.
The Open Board is your traditional public posting board. No profile to build, no assessment to take, no waiting to get matched. Got a spot to fill or looking for work right now? Put up a post and face the public — the old-fashioned way, just better.
Free to join. Crew is free — always.
We're just getting started, so right now CrewConnect is free for everyone. Crew will always be free: build your profile, search, and get matched at no cost.
Everything you need to find your next boat — at no cost, for good.
- Private profile & certs on file
- Search and browse the Open Board
- Compatibility matching & connections
Post and hire free while we're in beta. Plans for employers come later.
- Post private or Open Board positions
- Compatibility-scored matches
- Reviewed crew profiles & references
Pricing for employers and any premium features will arrive down the road. When it does, crew keep their free profile, free search, and free matching — that part never changes.
