We offer a cost-effective and robust employment service through our offshore Guernsey cell company, relieving owners of the stress and liability of employing crew directly. With years of experience as both crew and employers, we have an in-depth understanding of the requirements of the MLC and are on hand to offer advice to both owners and crew throughout their contracts. We will take care of all the day to day administration and should any problems arise we can handle awkward conversations, necessary disciplinary actions and even assist with placing a new or temporary crew.

•             Offshore employment structure through Guernsey

Temporary and Part Time Crew

We have freelance crews available at short notice to assist with deliveries, busy periods and to stand in during crew annual leave. As well as pre-scheduled leave, a temporary crew can also cover if your crew is injured, quit or have to leave the yacht urgently for any reason.
