At Sailing Match, we help sailing superyachts find the right crew — quickly, personally, and with care.
Whether you're preparing for a busy season or building your core team, we connect you with verified, experienced crew who are handpicked through interviews and reference checks.
We focus on professionalism, sailing expertise, and mental well-being, ensuring each placement fits both the role and the onboard dynamic. Our trusted network includes talent not actively on the market, giving you access to candidates others miss.

With firsthand experience at sea and a strong recruitment background, we connect captains with qualified crew who truly understand sailing yachts. Multilingual and experienced, our team provides a tailored, reliable service for both crew and owners.
