How we work

We take a considered, hands-on approach to superyacht recruitment.

Working closely with both clients and candidates, we take the time to understand not just the role, but the program behind it. From leadership style to onboard culture, every detail is considered before making an introduction.

We focus on what actually works. Crew are hand-selected based on more than experience alone, with long-term fit always in mind.

Operating across the UK and New Zealand, we recruit globally while maintaining a highly personal service.

BRONWYN GILCHRIST

HEAD OF SERVICE , CANDIDATE

Saltwater Recruitment helped me find my dream job. From the start of my search right up to my placement, they have been attentively and genuinely involved in finding the best fit for me. Within a short amount of time Saltwater presented me three matching vacancies; facilitated in interviews and guided me with the best professional advice. I am now one happily employed yachtie! I absolutely love my job and am forever grateful!
JARED MARTIN

CAPTAIN/CHIEF OFFICER , CLIENT OF 60-90M YACHTS

It’s been two over years of working with the Saltwater Recruitment team and we have been very happy with the level of professionalism and attention we receive when looking for a candidate to join us. 99% of the candidates that Saltwater have presented to us have been a perfect match for us, and when we had a candidate that did not work out, we were given an automatic replacement immediately, no questions asked. This is the kind of service we expect in the industry and Saltwater can supply this.
PAUL VERRY

CHIEF OFFICER , 90M+

It has been a pleasure working with Saltwater. For every potential candidate they send, it is accompanied by a very useful paragraph that not only summarises the their CV, but includes information on reference checks, why they are suitable and any other points of note. Written references are verified verbally too. Saltwater is very proactive with their search for the right candidates.
STEPHANIE DURKAN

CHIEF STEW/PURSER , VARIOUS MOTOR YACHTS

Saltwater is a top agency for all levels of recruitment needs. I have worked with Saltwater on both sides of recruitment - to find crew to join my team and also over the years to find the best jobs which match my needs. The team are so personable, experienced and professional from start to finish of any recruitment process. I highly recommend.
