YOA is a powerful, professional and interactive community of yacht crew creating genuine connections and recording an invaluable history of their professional career on board the yachts. Our worldwide team of highly skilled recruitment agents are made up of former Captains and Heads of Departments.
YOA’s aim is to help individuals who will add value to the yachts, people and companies they are employed with. It is the crew that makes a yacht successful and we hope to do our part to ensure that the process of hiring crew and finding positions on board is as streamlined, cost effective and most importantly, as honest as possible.
Our team has worked all over the world on some of the most prestigious superyachts. We understand your frustrations when it comes to finding crew and jobs. The industry previously known as Yachting has evolved into Super yachting, Mega yachting and now incredibly Giga yachting.
We believe that recruiting and traditional ways of thinking about how to place crew and find work on these yachts needs to follow suit. We’ve listened, and continue to listen, to you, countless colleagues and friends about what you think would make finding crew and work more efficient, enjoyable and cost effective today.
