Crewdar earns from vessels and providers — never from crew. No fees, no subscriptions, no catch. In keeping with the MLC, seafarers are never charged, so building your career here always costs you nothing.
Crewdar matches you to relevant roles and ranks them by fit, then notifies you the instant one lands. No job boards, no scrolling, no cold applications — the right jobs simply arrive.
Every job and every recruiter is identity-verified. No scams, no time-wasters, no dead listings — just genuine roles from genuine people.
Your profile is private. Nobody can browse the platform or look you up — a recruiter only sees you once you register interest in their role. And you're notified every time your profile is viewed or shortlisted, so you always know exactly who's looking.
See exactly what each role needs and how to strengthen your profile before you're put forward — with real-time insights on where you stand.
Your ranking is earned — how well you fit the role, and nothing else. You can't pay to jump the queue here, and neither can anyone else. The strongest match comes first, every time.
Crewdar keeps every qualification's expiry date on file and reminds you before anything lapses — so you're never caught out by an expired certificate at the worst moment.
Add as many photos, videos, documents and links as you like, free of charge. A short video conveys more personality than a CV ever could.
Verified crew and trusted providers for your yacht or estate. First listing free, zero commission.

Already have a job description? Paste it in and Crewdar builds the whole job for you. Then set your search radius and see only verified, matched crew who are genuinely within reach.
Layer on as much detail as the role demands — required tickets and qualifications, skills, languages, visas and driving licences, right down to personal preferences. Crewdar weighs every criterion and ranks candidates on true fit, so your shortlist is precisely who you're looking for, not a pile of near-misses to wade through.
Choose from thousands of verified crew — each has their identity, qualifications and experience checked before they reach you. No embellished CVs, no surprises on day one.
A basic filter only checks a position or a ticket. Crewdar IQ reads your requirements in your own words and weighs it against the whole CV — understanding what you actually mean, so the strongest genuine fit rises to the top, not just whoever ticks a box.
Provisioning, uniforms, training and more — request what you need and get quotes back, all from the same place you hire your crew.
See your entire crew at a glance, organised by department, with any compliance issue flagged the moment it arises. Manage users, permissions and hours of rest — the whole vessel, in one place.
Every crew member's certificates laid out on a single timeline, colour-coded by how soon they lapse. Spot what's expiring months ahead and renew in good time — so an out-of-date ticket never grounds a departure.
Add captains, heads of department, managers and read-only users — each with permissions that fit their role. Everyone sees what they should, and nothing they shouldn't.
List your business and get enquiries from verified yachts and estates.
Or continue on
Every enquiry comes from an identity-verified yacht or estate — genuine clients with genuine needs, not tyre-kickers.
Quote on live requests from vessels actively looking for what you do, win the work, and earn reviews that build your reputation across the industry.
Build a full business profile — services, gallery and reviews — and put your name in front of hundreds of yachts and high-end estates actively looking for what you do.
Always free for crew. Vessels and providers pay one flat monthly fee — a free trial, no lock-in, and zero commission.
