What do you need?
Pick a path — everything's still below if you'd rather just scroll.
Train
Real-incident Decision Simulator scenarios, Knowledge Checker question banks, and orals prep.
Get Found
A verified profile recruiters can search directly, certificate tracking, and a portable reputation score.
Hire Crew
Search verified crew directly, skip the 15% agency fee, and run your whole pipeline in one place.
Marine Consultancy
Independent competency assessments and onboard visits for fleet and yacht managers. By enquiry.
Covering every sector of the maritime industry
The only maritime platform
that trains you on what
actually happened
Every scenario starts life as a real MAIB, TSB, ATSB or NTSB investigation. We rebuild the decision points the actual crew faced — not a hypothetical exam question.
The verified reputation
that follows you for life
LinkedIn recommendations are unverified. Agencies keep performance records to themselves. Crew Connect is the first platform where a maritime professional builds a portable, verified reputation — scored by captains who sailed with you and operators who want you back.
Stop paying 15% per hire.
Start hiring direct.
A traditional crewing agency charges 15–20% of first-year salary. Crew Connect Pro: £99/month, unlimited hires. First 3 placements are completely free.
First 3 hires free on Pro · No credit card · No placement fees ever
Independent Marine Consultancy
Real assessors. Real onboard visits. Content built to your syllabus — not the platform, a person.
A certificate says someone passed an exam. It doesn't say how they'll perform under pressure, or whether your last hire was the right call. That's the gap this closes.
Pricing is quoted by enquiry, scoped to your fleet — nothing published here.
A live oral interview, a written situational-judgement scenario, and a full competency profile report — delivered personally, not automated.
Enquire →Drill observation, spot audits, and a full Operational Readiness Review — a qualified assessor on your vessel, not a checklist emailed in.
Enquire →Custom Knowledge Check packs, Decision Simulator scenarios, or a full syllabus-aligned cluster, built to your vessel type.
Enquire →The industry was built on fragmented methods.
We're fixing that.
