With our rapidly expanding crew candidate database and our continuous contact with all our current Oyster crews, we have our fingers right on the Oyster crew pulse. Many candidates contact us because they really want to work on an Oyster. They know it is a great career move with good long term prospects within the fleet.
But we know there’s a balance to be struck. As every job is different, we take great care to listen and fully understand what an owner is looking for in crew, rather than simply handing out CVs. We spend time thoroughly checking our new crew candidates and will only forward a small selection of CVs that we feel are suited to your program.
All candidates are interviewed face-to-face where possible, with thorough reference and qualification checks so we can make an informed evaluation of their personality, capabilities and suitability.
Charlie first met Oyster in 2002 as crew on an adventurous world-cruising Oyster 66 alongside husband Mark. Several years working on Med-Caribbean luxury charter sailing yachts gave her a rounded insight into the luxury yachting and crewing industry. She now runs the Oyster Crew service helping both Oyster Owners and potential crew candidates in their search for crew or employment on Oyster yachts.

Oyster Crew is an MCA certified Recruitment and Placement Agency. The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) is an International Labour Organization convention established in 2006 providing a set of international standards for seafarers. It outlines seafarer's rights to decent conditions of living and working onboard including employment agreements, hours of work or rest, payment of wages, paid annual leave and repatriation. We work within these MLC guidelines to ensure that crew are fully aware of their rights as a professional seafarer.
