Yacht Crew Recruitment
It’s not just about placement, it’s about people.
Yachting isn’t just about work, it’s about creating the ideal environment where culture and a sense of home come together. YS Talent works with yacht crew who actually care — about how things run on board, about the vibe, and about where they’re headed next. With almost ten years of experience in the industry, both onboard as a purser and shore-based within a yacht management company, Lauren understands the unique needs of owners, captains, and crew.
​
We’ve been in this world ourselves, so we know the boats that shine, the ones that challenge you, and all the little details that make a job feel right. We talk openly, make sure everyone’s on the same page, and keep things honest and clear.
We stick around. We check in. We help crew and captains find matches that feel good, that last, and that make sense.
At the end of the day, it’s not just about the placement, it’s about the people.
