For agenciesA searchable network of verified crew profiles, designed to help agencies fill positions faster.
Velvet Ocean Crew gives crew agencies AI-powered search across a verified yacht crew network, filtered by role, ticket, vessel size, language and availability, with team accounts and shareable shortlists. Agencies pay a flat monthly fee after a 30-day free trial — there is no per-placement commission.
Velvet Ocean Crew was built with agency workflows in mind. Search by the exact filters your clients specify, see documents before you reach out, and manage multiple shortlists for concurrent roles — all from a single account.
Find candidates by department, specific role, required ticket, vessel size experience, spoken languages and current availability status — including daywork.
Save candidates into named shortlists (e.g. “M/Y Serenity — Chief Stew”), share them with colleagues and contact candidates directly from the shortlist view.
Every certificate uploaded by crew is reviewed and marked verified. You see exactly which documents a candidate holds before making first contact.
Captain or owner specifies role, required tickets, vessel size, dates and any preferences. You have the information to search immediately.
Apply the brief’s exact filters. Sort by availability date, last active or closest match. Shortlist the three to five best fits.
Message candidates directly through the platform. Their certificates are already visible — confirm interest and send profiles to the captain within the hour.
Record the successful placement against the shortlist. Build a history of candidates placed, captains worked with and vessels filled.
One month free, no card required. After that, a flat monthly fee regardless of how many placements you make — no per-placement commissions to us.
