Superyacht Jobs

Matching quality crew with quality superyachts For over a decade, we’ve made it our job to find you the best superyacht jobs by taking a candidate-first approach to crew recruitment.

Reliable, responsive and realistic

Only by understanding your skills and yacht career aspirations can we successfully connect you with your dream role onboard whilst ensuring an exemplary owner and guest experience.

Being ex-yachties ourselves, we know how competitive the industry can be and how reality often fails to meet expectations, so it’s our mission to change that.

Putting equal emphasis on the interests of everyone involved, we are able to pair the perfect crew with the perfect superyacht jobs 99% of the time.

Roles we recruit for From the bridge to the engine room and the deck to the galley, we recruit for superyacht jobs at all levels from green crew with certified potential to experienced Heads of Departments and Captains. Specialist secondary skills also range from beauty therapy, massage and fitness through to AV/IT, watersports instructors, medically trained personnel and manual trades.

Interior department, bosuns and officers, junior to chief engineers, junior to chief stew, galley hand to head chef.

Our Promise

By putting your trust in Quay Crew, you can trust us to:

• Be honest and transparent – if you’re not suited to the role or the culture of the yacht, we’ll tell you; and if the yacht isn’t offering a competitive salary or package, we’ll consult with them too.
• Give career advice – on the roles you’re currently suitable for, how you can improve your CV and what secondary skills could make you stand out.
• Never send your CV on-spec – we’ll always speak 1-2-1 with a candidate before putting them forward for a role and follow up with verbal references from past yachts and employers.
• Communicate – at every stage of the process, whether it’s good or bad news.

Latest Opportunities

Testimonials.

“I think the reason that Quay Crew is (in my opinion and most of my colleagues’ opinions too) the industry’s leading agent is down to the culture of integrity, honesty and real care that permeates your company, and the careful selection of a candidate that will stay in the job. Long may it continue. I will never hesitate to use, recommend or assist Quay Crew for as long as I’m in yachting, and after.”

Chief Officer – 70m Yacht

“Having moved into the yachting industry from the commercial sector, Sam gave me valuable feedback on my CV and routes into the industry. I can highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for their next engineering position as she does her best to make sure that the yacht is right for you.”

2nd Engineer – 52m Yacht

“Having been in contact with Caroline since the summer, I felt the whole way through my search application process that she was completely on my side and has supported me and given me the confidence to propel my career to the next level.”

Chief Stew – 60m Yacht

“I would just like to take this opportunity to express how amazing Max has been in finding myself and my partner a position on a brand-new build. Max has been such a rock star in not just finding me one job but two jobs, which I am absolutely grateful for. It’s really nice to have a crew agency like Quay Crew who are reliable, trustworthy as well as always wanting to consider your best interests. The team at Quay Crew are absolutely exceptional and I will always recommend only the best for them. ”

Captain – 30m+ Yacht

“The best crew agent I have ever dealt with…always on the ball, super efficient, attentive and always available. There are so many agencies that only care about the yachts because they are the ones paying and completely ignore the crew so I want to thank you for all your help. ”

Head of Service – 100m Yacht

“I really appreciate the communication and commitment from Quay Crew and would like to mention that Tom has been incredible throughout the process. He had a vast amount of information relating to the role and yacht and knew exactly what would suit me. I highly recommend Quay Crew.”

Bosun – 60m+ Yacht

“Quay Crew was the most professional of the agencies I was using in my search. I had constant communication throughout and the whole process was personal. I’m very happy with the placement and would recommend Glen and the team to anyone. ”

2nd Officer – 65m Yacht

“What sets the team apart more than anyone else is the open and honest dialogue as well as the feeling that we’re working towards the same goal. Rather than just being another number or CV on someone’s desk, I established an amazing rapport with Glen so that he was able to really know what my goals were and where I wanted to take my career…and he was absolutely instrumental in seeing that I achieved that by placing me on my current vessel. At some point in the future, I plan to be on the opposite side of the interview process and Quay Crew will be the first agency that I reach out to.”

2nd Officer – 80m Yacht

“I wanted to say how fantastic Tom has been in finding a job for me. From first talking to him on the phone, he gave some fantastic advice about the industry and made the whole process feel calm and easy. His communication was absolutely exemplary and he went above and beyond to secure me a job. I would highly recommend Quay Crew to anyone.”

Deckhand – 90m Yacht

“I recently completed a 4 week trip through Quay crew on a yacht that Phil placed me on. I had applied for the role through other agencies but they refused [to put me forward] and Phil was the only recruiter that I spoke to who also saw flexibility in the job requirements. It’s a pleasure dealing with a recruiter that actually understands the role and the candidates suited for it. I hope to work with Phil and the Quay crew team again in the future.”

Steve job's venus cost $120 million when it was built in 2012, by gerardo pons • published august 7, 2024 • updated on august 7, 2024 at 10:03 pm.

Video posted on social media shows the moment Steve Jobs' former superyacht Venus collided with another yacht in Naples, Italy.

The video, posted by Mexican telecom billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego on X, shows the moment the 257-foot-long Venus, now owned by Steve Jobs' former wife Laurene Powell Jobs, collided with Pliego's 344 foot-long Lady Moura on July 22.

"You guys won't believe this, but our yacht was hit while we were in Naples," Pliego wrote to his followers on X. "Apple founder Steve Jobs' yacht (now owned by his wife Laurene) hit us while we were anchored off Naples."

Yacht tragedy forces morgan stanley to find new international chair even as grief is fresh.

On Aug. 19, Morgan Stanley International’s chairman, Jonathan Bloomer, died in the Mediterranean Sea aboard the Bayesian yacht, alongside his wife, Judy; Autonomy founder Mike Lynch; and four others. While the human cost of the tragedy is still being felt around the world, Morgan Stanley must now address a very real hole on its leadership team.

“Jonathan’s leadership and experience helped the firm manage a period of complex change for our international businesses,” said Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick in a statement provided to Fortune . “He has been a friend and mentor to many and we will all greatly miss his wise counsel and spirit of kindness.”

Bloomer ran the board of Morgan Stanley International (MSI), a London-based subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, regulated in the United Kingdom, and doing business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa . While MSI chief executive Clare Woodman runs the business side of the subsidiary, the board Bloomer oversaw "determines the strategy" of the company, according to a 2017 regulatory disclosure, "and provides oversight of the key risk and control issues that the execution of the strategy presents."

Over the course of Bloomer’s tenure governing Morgan’s international board, the United Kingdom left the European Union, the Middle East economy emerged on the global stage, and Africa forged complex ties with China. Now, as populist political currents continue to surge throughout Europe , Bloomer’s replacement could find himself leading in equally or more difficult conditions.

Big shoes to fill

Jane Edison Stevenson, global vice chair at C-suite hiring firm Korn Ferry , says that with the passing of a chair, the bank "will need to take a look at what they anticipate to be the biggest challenges and opportunities for their business,” adding, “I can't imagine that it would not include someone who's equally comfortable being connected to and in a network with heads of state, as they are with heads of businesses.”

Had Bloomer been on the board of the Morgan Stanley parent, a standing committee specifically established “to oversee plans for management development and succession” would directly help select the replacement. But a source with knowledge of the matter says, “A new non-executive chair will be selected by Morgan Stanley executives in London.”

Though Morgan is being tight-lipped on the actual succession process, Edison Stevenson says it’s not unusual for bank subsidiaries to conduct their own research, and nominate their own leaders, to a certain point. “It needs to be interconnected,” she says. “So typically, there would be oversight directly from the parent organization. And it depends on the way they're structured and the way it works as to whether they would have veto power.”

Fortune asked Morgan Stanley how the hiring process was being structured, but the company did not provide a response.

A look at others to hold the position provides some insight into the type of executive Morgan Stanley is likely to seek. Those include Bloomer’s immediate predecessor, Ian Plenderleith, who worked as an executive director at the Bank of England and was deputy governor of the South African Reserve Bank before being appointed a Morgan Stanley director in 2011. He was named chairman in January 2014, and eventually bequeathed the title to Bloomer.

By contrast, another previous chairman of the MSI board was Walid Chammah, who was at Morgan Stanley for 14 years before being appointed director in 2007. The decision to alternate between a chair who’d been at the firm for a decade and a relative newcomer is typical, according to Charles Shanley, cofounder of Shanley Search Partners. He says about half of bank execs are promoted from within the company, while Edison Stevenson puts the number closer to 70%.

“So you have a little bit of refreshment,” she says. “And yet people have confidence that they have a career trajectory, that there are places to go, things to do.”

A hard-charging leader

In the early 2000s Bloomer made a name for himself as a hard-driving if controversial leader, when as the CEO of London-based insurance giant Prudential he tried to raise £1 billion to expand beyond the U.K. Though the effort was eventually unsuccessful, after Bloomer’s passing, Prudential credited him for helping expand its focus beyond the U.K. “We wouldn’t be the company we are today if it wasn’t for him,” the company said in a statement.

Bloomer was appointed as a non-executive director of MSI in November 2016, according to regulator documents , and two years later, as Brexit was picking up momentum, was appointed chair.

One of Bloomer’s successors has already been appointed. Earlier this month, U.K.-based insurance firm Hiscox—for which he served as chair since last year—announced it had named independent non-executive director Colin Keogh as interim leader. “We are deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event,” said Hiscox CEO Aki Hussain in a statement provided to Fortune prior to the discovery of Bloomer’s body. “Our thoughts are with all those affected.”
