Recruiting a crew

 

The appointment of the right captain and crew is paramount. It ensures the optimum operation of your vessel and your enjoyment.

At SYM, we possess a database in excess of 6,500 crew members across 65 nationalities. We thoroughly authenticate an individual's credentials and references and pre-interview candidates before presenting them to you, and that is just for starters.

We work in close proximity with you and your captain to create a bespoke manning strategy taking into account flag state, commercial and private registration and where you want to cruise. At this stage, our experience is vital. We match crew to the needs of both an owner and the vessel to guarantee you receive the best operational, navigation, engineering, catering and service expertise.

Once your captain and crew are in place we can manage the ongoing relationship. We can help create contracts, set-up and manage payroll and liaise to provide travel, medical and liability insurance. Most importantly, we remain in constant dialogue with owners and their captains in order to monitor performance and ascertain needs over time.

Such is the thoroughness of our captain and crew placement service that many have been moved to compare our operation to more established Human Resources services. We cannot comment on that. But we do know people are important, and we have access to some of the finest.

What our clients say

Throughout SYM have been relied upon and their appointment has been of immense and undeniable value, far exceeding the cost/benefit expectation. Both Owner and Captain are unanimous in this view and are incredibly appreciative to SYM for their contribution and support during the last 12 months. 

SYM Superyacht Management were appointed to provide yacht management and maritime consultancy services to one of our established clients who purchased a Sunseeker 131 whilst still in build and wanted an experienced, responsive and fully engaged advisory capability supporting his Private Office and on-board team.

One year on, the Yacht has been delivered, flagged, insured, staffed, trialled, shipped to the Caribbean and into operations and Client use, all within the context of CV19. Along the way there have been inevitable challenges both expected and unexpected.

Throughout SYM have been relied upon and their appointment has been of immense and undeniable value, far exceeding the cost/benefit expectation; both Owner and Captain are unanimous in this view and are incredibly appreciative to SYM for their contribution and support during the last 12 months. 

Never has the phone not been answered, nor an email not been responded to.  Whether routine or critically urgent, SYM have been exhaustive in their engagement, providing informed advice and action.  The re-assurance this has provided all parties cannot be overstated.  To have a friendly and available team who implicitly understand the issues of Yacht ownership and are always willing to assist cannot be underestimated.  It has ensured our yacht ownership has, despite some first year challenges remained overwhelmingly positive.  SYM have ensured this and they have contributed to every aspect of the ownership journey to date.
