Haus of Yachting
Curated crew for the superyacht world.
From a single deckhand to a complete vessel crew — every candidate passes a multi-stage review before you see a name, and carries a verified Workforce Wallet when you do.
The distinction
Crew who have lived the job.
Eighteen combined years on board, across departments and vessel sizes. We know what a season asks of a crew member — because we've stood the watch.
Crew that fits your culture
Based on what you know it is — the fit is judged against your boat and the standard it runs to, not a template.
Partners that take the call
When you need it. A person who knows your vessel answers — season in, season out.
An HR partner with outcomes
Tangible, results-driven support beyond the placement — an HR service partner, not a CV forwarding desk.
Quality — Never — Quantity.
From a single deckhand to a complete vessel crew.
Where we place
From the bridge to the galley.
Four departments, one standard of care and discretion.
Deck
Captains, chief officers, bosuns, lead deckhands and deckhands — the team that runs the boat.
Interior
Chief steward/esses, steward/esses and pursers — the standard guests remember.
Engineering
Chief and second engineers, ETOs and AV/IT — the department that keeps the season on schedule.
Galley
Head chefs and sous chefs who hold their own from crew mess to owner's table.
The approach
A shortlist that holds up at sea.
