Does Fraser Yachts provide crew placement?

The firm’s Crew Coordinators, based strategically across Monaco, Italy, and the United States, engage with tens of thousands of crew through face-to-face meetings, phone conversations, and online interactions. This extensive relationship-building allows the team to assess fit beyond what appears on paper—understanding not just credentials but also character, working style, and genuine aptitude for the role. Whether working directly with owners or collaborating with captains, Fraser’s specialists invest the time to comprehend what makes each yacht unique, then hand-select the most appropriate candidates to ensure every guest experiences something exceptional.

Beyond placement, Fraser’s comprehensive crew services encompass the administrative complexities that otherwise consume a captain’s time. The team oversees contracts, salary administration, and payroll while verifying certification validity and managing travel arrangements and employment agreements. For vessels seeking to enhance their offering—whether through essential certifications or specialised skills like mixology, drone videography, or croupier training—dedicated Crew Coordinators arrange suitable programmes that elevate the onboard experience.

All Crew Network offices maintain full MLC 2006 compliance, operating in strict accordance with Maritime Labour Convention regulation 1.4. Established by the International Labour Organisation, this certification ensures that crew placement protects the welfare and employment conditions of seafarers working aboard commercial vessels, including charter yachts. Fraser’s commitment to this standard reflects an understanding that exceptional crew experiences require ethical, professional recruitment practices as their foundation.
