YPI CREW

Headquartered in Antibes on the French Côte d’Azur, YPI CREW has spent more than two decades recruiting crew for luxury yachts worldwide. The company connects thousands of qualified candidates every year with positions across every department on board, from entry-level deckhands to experienced captains.

Placements cover all key roles, including captains, engineers, deck officers, chefs, bosuns, stew staff, and deckhands. Rather than simply filling open positions, YPI CREW focuses on matching technical skills and personal chemistry to achieve long-lasting placements that strengthen team cohesion on board.

The company blends industry insight with a tailored, individual approach to candidate selection. YPI CREW works directly with both crew members and yacht representatives to support career progression while helping owners and captains build cohesive teams across international waters.

YPI CREW is part of the Schulte Group, an international commercial fleet ownership and management enterprise with more than 135 years of heritage in global ocean transport.
