Why Choose TYS Recruitment?

Testimonials, what our crew say, what our clients say, thomas, captain.

Taryn at TYS did a great job with communicating the Captain and Stewardess Job available while providing a smooth transition onboard. The   resources of stewardess online training (through the sister company, The Yacht Stew Academy), progressed a green stewardess into a sole stewardess on a 112’ very quickly. Highly recommend TYS. 

Arina, Chief Stewardess

The Yacht Stew Recruitment is the best recruitment agency I have worked with, I can highly recommend them. I recently needed to recruit a stewardess for a third interior in my team and was looking for a very specific person to fit our boat. Gemma and her team made this process so easy and left no stone unturned. They immediately knew what I was looking for and they really narrowed it down to great quality candidates. They checked in with me continuously following up on the stewardess they have placed for us.

Toni, Chief Stewardess

My experience with TYS Recruitment has been absolutely amazing. The amount of CV’s that came through, the way everything was laid out was highly efficient. Eloise constantly stayed on top of everything and even helped the green stews to understand their joining contract and SEA. Just amazing! TYS Recruitment most definitely stands out as my preferred agent.

Kate, Chief Stewardess

I asked TYS Recruitment to assist me in the hiring of a new stew. The team didn’t waste anytime diving in and asking me what kind of Stew I’m looking for and about the program of the vessel. The detail and time spent ensuring the candidates put forward were a complete match was evident. I gained a wonderful new Stew who fitted in very well. They were professional at all times and ensured I was comfortable and happy throughout the whole process. I will not hesitate to use The Yacht Stew again in the future!

Testimonials

“Just a short note to send sincere thanks for your expert assistance in our recent search for a captain. Regardless of how I have expressed [our needs] to crew agencies, they have just proceeded to spread a very large net and inundate me with CV’s. In sharp contrast your approach was to listen carefully to our brief and then carry out a very focused search for the right fit. In the end you gave me two CVs both of which were perfect and very hard to choose from. Thanks again for your help and be assured that you and are team are our only go to crew agency from here on in. After having worked with you first hand, and from my numerous colleagues comments about your agency, it’s clear you have a superior knowledge of the captains market and I’d be very happy to recommend you to any other prospective clients.”

Owner’s Rep – 50m New Build

“I have been working with Quay Crew for 8+ years and they consistently deliver. Without question one of the top agencies out there, always available with a personal service, listen to the brief and provide great candidates. I frequently call on their knowledge and experience and will continue in years to come. ”

Chief Stew – 90m New Build

“Using Tim and Quay Crew was my first port of call for filling the Rotational Captain’s role onboard and within a very short space of time we had some really strong candidates. I feel as though pretty much all of the candidates put forward by Tim were finalists – and I think that’s a reflection of Tim’s understanding of the vessel’s needs, the culture onboard, and matching like-minded individuals together to gain the best possible outcome. It is evident that Tim puts in a lot of effort with market research and on-the-ground feedback from industry professionals. This means that he has his finger on the pulse with industry trends and expectations, as well as a clear history and knowledge of almost all of the candidates. Tim offers the most comprehensive service for recruitment, and proves to be an asset at our disposal.”

Captain – 70m Yacht

“I wanted to reach out to let you know that all interior positions have now been filled. Our sincerest thanks to Quay Crew for all their support and assistance in the past few months; you really have made recruitment a dream. Should any positions arise in the future, we will be sure to reach out. ”

Chief Stew – 120m New Build

“Well done on finding such a strong candidate in what is proving a very difficult candidate market. I’m continually impressed with the service standards of Quay Crew.”

Captain – 55m Yacht
