Crew HQ's app: Making Yachting Easier For You

Online yachting hub, Crew HQ, has developed a phone-friendly media application for its followers. The service, which will be available to use as of 1 April 2016 , affords subscribers all the benefits and amenities found on the site, at the end of their fingertips.

Users can, not only manage their professional profiles, but the hassle-free app gives Crew HQ users access to a catalogue of excellent crew for hire, a list of available jobs, and links to internationally acclaimed training courses.

These, only a few of the perks Crew HQ members enjoy. “The yachting industry is a daunting place for crew who are starting out.” CEO and Founder, Tristan Waterkeyn shared. “My vision with Crew HQ is to make the yachting industry easier for professional crew to navigate. The Crew HQ platform connects them to the best training facilities and service providers, while at the same time provides superyachts and yacht management companies with all the recruitment tools needed to staff their vessels. ”

Crew HQ was created to mediate the interface between job seeking yacht workers and vessels needing crewmembers, all from the convenience of their mobile phones.

The innovative app includes a "Marina Message Board" system. Every app user has the capacity to set up a virtual message board at their current location. Any app user within 100m radius will have access to view and post messages on the Marina Message Board.

Imagine arriving at a new marina, launching the app and instantly seeing all the latest posts / news / social events or crew looking for work within 100m. This functionality really comes to life as more local users start using it.

The site has a wealth of resources and yachting news that is also available via the integrated RSS feeds that link from the website to the app. Post a new job or article on the website and watch it arrive on the app.
