Yacht crew agency, we help you finding your new crew member.

Finding the right crew member is a process whereby each candidate is interviewed in accordance with their skill set and then based on the interviews the selection process can begin. An ongoing search from all 4 corners of the globe is executed, until we find the exact candidate for each of the positions that are required to embark on a safe journey at sea. When interviewing each of the candidates we try to get an in-depth understand of their goals and desired job preferences with regards to location, time of year, salary expectations etc. Generally, the different types of crew positions require different types of personalities for example a deckhand is generally more extroverted as oppose to a steward who is always client facing. As such it is important that they have high energy and are always readily available. My own first-hand experience working in the industry has led me to become familiar with all of these personality types and to get a feel for which program will suit each skilled candidate.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and my team, knowing that we will always provide you with an extremely honest review of each and every crew member that we suggest and select for you. We will help you find your new crew member!

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are reportedly chartering an Italian superyacht that costs more than $2 million a week to rent — take a look inside

• Beyonce spent her birthday vacationing on a high-end ship in Croatia with Jay-Z and their three kids, the Daily Mail and Total Croatia News reported earlier this week. 
• Imperial , a luxury yacht broker, is chartering the new superyacht called Lana, which can hold up to 12 guests and 31 crew members and will be available for private reservations, starting in the spring. 
• More than 300 feet long, the vessel comes with a spa and a beach club and costs more than $2 million a week to vacation on.
• It typically costs around $150,000 a week to charter a luxurious superyacht for a week, per CNBC .
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

Beyonce and Jay-Z are exploring European waters with their family aboard a new superyacht, according to multiple reports in TMZ, Daily Mail, and Total Croatia News.

It's the largest and most expensive yacht the couple has ever chartered,  Forbes reported  based on information from  superyachtfan.com

Lana, the Benetti-built yacht, is more than 300 feet long.

While there are no official criteria to categorize a yacht as a superyacht, Bill Springer, Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Ocean Home, wrote for Forbes that "all superyachts are opulent enough to be equipped with an object that represents the epitome of luxury."

Source: Imperial Yachts , Forbes

This particular superyacht, known as Lana, will be available for charter for about $2 million a week beginning in the spring.

This is more than the cost of a typical week-long superyacht rental, which can come to about $150,000, per CNBC. Kismet, the 312-foot superyacht that Beyonce and Jay-Z traveled on in 2018, costs about $1.3 million per week.

It features amenities like a gym, a spa, and a helicopter landing pad.

Clusters of couches and chairs are spread out on Lana's decks for groups to hang out.

The sun deck comes with a heated pool that's about nine yards long.

The same deck has a dining room that seats about 12 people.

Sculptures that decorate the yacht's interior mimic the flow of the ocean, according to the company website.

Lana holds 12 total guests per trip who can stay in one of the eight suites aboard the ship.

Seven of them are referred to as VIP guest rooms, and each room has its own color scheme.

The eighth room is a master suite.

This is the ship's beach club, which is an entertainment area with a waterfront.

Lana also features a cinema room with a movie screen and a sound system.

The spa includes multiple treatment spaces like a steam room and massage area.

On the main deck, there's another large dining room ...

Lana is a motor yacht and can cruise at 16 knots with a maximum speed of 18.5 knots.

Take a Look Inside Beyonce and Jay Z’s $70 million Yacht

• Luxury Yachts & Boats

Take a look inside Beyonce and Jay Z’s $70 million yacht!

They are a power couple like no other, we love them and they love each other. This couple has always showed us how much money they have and how much they love each other, by the presents they receive.

And this time is no different. It is believed that for Beyonce’s 32 nd birthday, her husband, the rapper Jay Z bought her a US$70 million superyacht. That tops the list of the expensive things Beyonce owns .

They have been photographed by the paparazzi celebrating aboard the 213-ft Galactica Star yacht.

Because it might have been a gift, this yacht is one of the best, and has given the title of the world’s largest fast displacement yacht at the time of its launch in 2013.

It was titled the largest fast displacement because it has the ability to combine low resistance with high performance and fuel efficiency throughout the full speed range.

It can almost go with 30 knots while burning 30% less fuel than a craft of the same size.

Galactica Star yacht has been built by Heesen in the Netherlands and had its interior designed by London-based firm Bannenberg & Rowell.

It is not in vain called a superyacht, because it features lots of outdoor space, including a sundeck, a duplex beach club covering 25% of the main and lower decks, and a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck.

Because we are here talking about one of the richest couples in the world , the yacht must have come with a helipad. Plus, it also has several World Superyacht Awards.

The yacht is kitted out with everything you could need at sea, catering especially for warmer climates where the guests can relax in the sun.

Beyonce and Jay Z can take up to 12 guests with them, and accommodate them in custom-built staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with private balcony and a VIP suite on the upper deck.

Let’s not count the crew of 13 to service all the guests, and the swimming pool, sauna or on-deck Jacuzzi.

The Galactica Star, which is priced at an estimated US$70 million, is not on the books as a charter vessel, so some people say that Jay Z may have dropped big money to make it his.

No doubt he negotiated a good price, and by chartering it out when not in use he may even turn a profit.

Before Jay Z bought it, the yacht belonged to Nigerian energy business magnate Kola Aluko, but in September, he sold it to the couple.

Apparently you can also rent this yacht, if you have US$900,000/ week and must be a personal connection to Kola Aluko or someone famous.

The control room is state of the art, featuring large touch-screen displays that can be used to drive the yacht for over 4,500 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel.

At night, the ship becomes beautifully lit and is the perfect location for hosting parties.

The modern and forward-looking design includes a lot of glass, helping to keep the space airy and light.

What do you say about their boat? Looks awesome enough for the couple?

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Grinning people smuggler who brought 52 migrants to UK on dangerously overcrowded dinghy is jailed for 20 months

• Choul Phan Maker, 31, from South Sudan smiled while piloting a dangerous boat 

A grinning people smuggler has been jailed for 20 months after trying to take more than 50 migrants across the Channel in a 'perilously overcrowded dinghy'.

Choul Phan Maker, 31, from South Sudan, was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court for offences of unlawful arrival and assisting unlawful immigration after making the crossing which 'endangered' the passengers.

He was photographed by Border Force officials grinning with his hand on the tiller as he brazenly steered the boat towards the UK on August 15 last year.

Maker had previously been ordered to leave France after being caught attempting to enter the UK in a lorry.

He spent more than three years in Europe before travelling from Malta for his latest attempt to cross the Channel.

Maker admitted to piloting the boat when he was arrested, telling officers he had been offered the job by a criminal gang who facilitated the journey.

He was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison for unlawful arrival and 10 months for assisting unlawful immigration, to be served concurrently.

A Home Office spokeswoman said: 'Choul Phan Maker was caught piloting a vessel packed with 52 endangered passengers, many of whom were forced to stand on makeshift flooring.

'He was photographed by Border Force officials, grinning, with his hand on the tiller, as he brazenly steered the boat towards UK shores on 15 August last year.

'Maker, from South Sudan, had previously been ordered to leave France after being caught attempting to enter the UK in a lorry.

'He then spent more than three years in Europe, before travelling from Malta for his latest attempt to cross the Channel.

'Criminal and Financial Investigation officers identified Maker as the boat's pilot and started gathering evidence to support his conviction.

'He was subsequently arrested and admitted to piloting the boat, telling officers that he had been offered the job by the criminal gang who facilitated the journey.'

Steve Blackwell, deputy director of Criminal and Financial Investigations at the Home Office, said: 'This pilot thought nothing of endangering dozens of lives in order to make his own illegal journey to the UK.

'I'm thankful for the quick work of my investigating officers, which has led to us bringing this criminal to justice. His sentence shows that anyone caught piloting these dinghies can expect to be arrested and prosecuted.'

The Home Office spokeswoman said small boat crossings to the UK have fallen by 36%, while arrivals into Europe from Africa have increased by more than 70%.

According to analysis of Home Office figures, 3,529 people had made the Channel crossing in small boats up to March 19 this year compared with 3,683 by the same point last year.

Illegal migration minister Michael Tomlinson said: 'The criminal gangs behind these crossings don't care if people live or die, as long as they pay, but they rely on migrants who are willing to steer their deadly crossings through the water.

'Putting lives at risk by taking charge of these dangerous, illegal and completely unnecessary crossing attempts will not be tolerated and it is right that this pilot has been brought to justice today.'
