ACREW

ACREW recognises that Crew and Captains are the face and voice of the superyacht industry. Our mission is to enable all Crew to be the best professionals possible and ultimately enhance the guest experience onboard. ACREW introduces Crew and Captains to leaders of the superyacht industry through workshops delivered crew hubs such as Yacht Shows, marinas and shipyards.

With over 14,000 Crew Members, including more than 2,500 Captains, ACREW is endorsed by the PYA and works closely with MYBA. Together we aim to raise the standard of professional development in superyachting.

In our industry, we are fortunate to have exceptional Captains, Crew, onboard and onshore leaders, and specialists who consistently ensure a safe and outstanding experience for guests and owners. Sustaining these high standards requires collaboration with the best people, not only in terms of skills and expertise but also as partners and team members.

We look for those with an outstanding reputation, as excellence is the foundation of a solid reputation. At ACREW, we believe we play a vital role in identifying and supporting such partnerships and teams.

Recognising the unique challenges faced both onboard and onshore, we have used proven concepts to develop tailored solutions for our industry, with a focus on measurable results. Whether you’re an individual Crew member, a vessel, Charter Broker, business, or destination, ACREW is here to support your growth.

• Captains and Crew can work on their professional and personal skills, progress in their career and be rewarded for their excellent performance in our annual Crew Awards.
• Vessels and Fleet can build excellent and engaging teams and optimise productivity, hiring and longevity.
• Destinations & Marinas can work on their exposure, branding and Crew engagement.
• Shipyards & Refit Yards can equally improve that awareness, Crew engagement and reputation.
• Vendors & Suppliers can be seen as Thought Leaders in their field of expertise.

Over the past 15 years, ACREW has proven its value to over 50,000 Captains & Crew representing over 5,000 vessels, and to over 1,000 onshore specialists through events, market studies, award programs, and specialised crew and business consulting.

At ACREW, we believe in reputation through excellency. Allow us to contribute to the growth of your personal and professional reputation for mutual benefit.
