With our rapidly expanding database of quality sailing yacht crew candidates and our continuous contact with all our current Oyster sailing yacht crews, we have our fingers right on the Oyster Crew pulse. Many candidates contact us because they really want to work on an Oyster yacht. 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 sailing crew job is different, we take great care to listen and fully understand what an owner is looking for in their sailing yacht crew, rather than simply handing out CVs for endless crew hopefuls. We spend time thoroughly checking our Oyster Crew candidates and will only forward a small selection of CVs that we feel are suited to your boat and your family.
To become Oyster Crew, we ensure all sailing yacht crew 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 to provide a set of international standards for seafarers, including sailing yacht crew. 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 our sailing yacht crew are fully aware of their rights as a professional seafarer.
In accordance with MLC 2006, Oyster Crew charges no fee to seafarers for the service nor do we operate a blacklist to prevent qualified seafarers from gaining employment.
