In their words · ★★★★★

“Brutally honest and incredibly thorough CV audit. Showing how to translate heavy commercial engineering into yacht-ready language was pure gold. No fluff — just a crystal-clear roadmap.”

Artem C. · ETO · yacht transition

“Several points were genuinely useful — especially the overall structure, the chronology, and the recommendation to present my experience more clearly within the Captain pathway.”
CaptainSenior officer · verified client
“THE ROUTE gave me a much clearer understanding of the transition from merchant navy to yachting. Making the most of my existing CoC, rather than starting from scratch, was particularly valuable.”
Inggih R.3rd Officer · Unlimited OOW
“Beyond my expectations. A real eye-opener — directing and educating me every step of the way. I’m so glad I showed interest.”
Alexandra A.Seafarer · yacht transition

Before you book

Good questions.

Anything else, write to contact@freelanceyachting.com.

How do I pay?

On Stripe’s secure page, by card, Apple Pay or PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account.

What do I send after paying?

Email contact@freelanceyachting.com. CV Audit: your CV, with your certificates and diplomas if you have them. LinkedIn Profile and The Broker Room: your CV, certificates and diplomas. THE ROUTE: your CV. CrewCheck: the candidate’s CV.

When will I receive my file?

CrewCheck and THE ROUTE within 48 hours. The CV Audit within 72 hours, and the Broker Room audit too. The LinkedIn Profile pack within five working days.

Is the audit done by a person or by AI?

Both. The audit is AI-powered and supervised by our team. Your CV is then rebuilt by hand, and every date is checked against your own documents. Nothing is invented.

I’m new to yachting. Where should I start?

With THE ROUTE (€40): the right certificates in the right order, with timing and an indicative cost for every step. The CV Audit is for crew who already have a yachting CV to sharpen.

Do you need access to my LinkedIn account?

No. You receive ready-to-paste texts in PDF and Word, with a guide showing where each one goes.

Will the candidate know I used CrewCheck?

No. The report is confidential and is never shared with the candidate.

I’ve had my CV audit. Is there a LinkedIn rate?

Yes. CV Audit clients get the LinkedIn Profile rewrite for €39 instead of €49. We email you the link.

Never pay to be placed.

Under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006, recruitment and placement services must not charge seafarers for finding them work. If an agency asks you to pay for a placement, walk away.

The directory

Choose your hub. Build your list.

Tap “Add to my list” on the agencies that suit you, then download your list as a PDF with every contact on it.

Phone numbers and emails are those published on each agency’s own website. “Contact via website” means the agency asks crew to register online. Spotted a change? Write to contact@freelanceyachting.com.

Before you write to an agency

Five habits that get you placed.

  1. 1

    Choose three to five agencies

    The established agencies of your hub. Register properly with each.

  2. 2

    Be in the right port

    Spring in Antibes and Palma, autumn in Fort Lauderdale.

  3. 3

    Keep your profile current

    Dates, certificates and availability, every time something changes.

  4. 4

    Show up

    When you are in port, call or visit. Recruiters remember faces.

  5. 5

    Send a CV that reads well

    It is your first interview with the agency, and its first argument with the captain.

The library

Free guides, 2026 edition.

Seven guides on three shelves, from your first certificates to the CV a captain reads to the end.
