Pay It Forward

Give someone their first chance at a yacht career.

Most people who dream of superyacht work never make it to the dock. Not because they aren't capable — because they can't afford the wall in front of them.

An STCW course, a flight to a hiring hub, and a month in crew housing while they look for their first boat.

That first salary changes everything. Your sponsorship is the bridge that gets them there.

Sponsor a piece of someone's journey, or fund the whole launch.

What sponsorship covers

Sponsor a piece — or the whole journey.

€900

STCW Basic Safety Training

The 5-day course every new crew member must hold before stepping on a yacht.

€150–€300

Flight to a hiring hub

One-way travel to Antibes, Palma or Antigua — where captains actually hire.

€600–€900

One month in crew housing

A bed in a crew house long enough to walk the docks and land a first contract.

€2,000

Full launch package

STCW + flight + first month of housing — everything someone needs to get hired.

Crew Fund

Prefer to give without picking a tier?

Contribute any amount to the Crew Fund and we'll allocate it to whichever candidate needs it most.

Crew Fund Pool

Chip in any amount — every euro helps.

Smaller contributions pool together to cover partial scholarships — a few exam fees here, a flight there. Pick an amount or enter your own.

Secure payment via Stripe. 100% of donations go to the Crew Fund Pool.

100% of Crew Fund donations go directly to sponsored candidates.

How it works

Transparent, direct, crew-first.

  1. 1

    We match you to a candidate

    Your sponsorship is matched to a vetted candidate already in our pipeline — someone with the right attitude but not the right budget.

  2. 2

    Funds go straight to the source

    Payments go directly to the training school, airline or crew house — never to us, never to the candidate.

  3. 3

    You get an update

    You'll receive a short update when they complete training and again when they sign their first contract.
