Crew HQ memberships explained

Yacht crew of different departments together on deck at golden hour

Most of Crew HQ is free. A membership adds something specific, and you only need one if you want that thing.

Free, for everyone

A crew profile, with your CV, references and availability.
The CV Crew HQ builds from your profile, and your private Crew HQ Me link and QR code.
References confirmed by email.
Applying for jobs, posting a job, and the notice board.
A company page in the directory with a pin on the map.

Premium, for crew: £30 a year or £3.50 a month

Your profile ahead of free profiles in crew search and wherever crew are suggested.
Your photo in colour, with a gallery and a video.
Certificates and documents stored with expiry reminders.
Stealth Mode, to look for a new position without your current crew noticing.
Your profile updated from each new CV you email in.

Professional, for captains, managers and recruiters: £150 a year or £25 a month

Every crew profile in full.
CV downloads and confirmed references.
Direct contact with crew, with no placement fee.
Shortlists, availability requests and the Assistant's shortlist for each job.

Captain, for whoever keeps the crew's paperwork

My Crew: your crew list and every certificate's expiry date on one page. Priced per crew member; each seat gives that crew member Premium.

Company and school listings: £45 a year or £6 a month

A full listing adds your news, gallery and video, and a place ahead of basic listings. For schools it adds course pages with dates and prices.

Paying, changing, cancelling

Choose monthly or yearly. Memberships renew automatically.
Cancel at any time; you keep the membership to the end of the period you paid for.
Receipts, your card, switching between monthly and yearly, and cancelling are all on My membership.

A free route to Premium

If you rent out a property, run a crew house or take boat bookings, linking an Airflow account with an active listing gives you Premium on Crew HQ.

What does it cost a school, and does Crew HQ take a commission?

No commission and no booking fee: crew book or enquire with you directly. A basic listing is free and shows your course names. A full School Listing (£45 a year or £6 a month) shows the dates and prices, gives each course its own page, and puts your school first in the training directory.
