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.
Sponsor a piece — or the whole journey.
STCW Basic Safety Training
The 5-day course every new crew member must hold before stepping on a yacht.
Flight to a hiring hub
One-way travel to Antibes, Palma or Antigua — where captains actually hire.
One month in crew housing
A bed in a crew house long enough to walk the docks and land a first contract.
Full launch package
STCW + flight + first month of housing — everything someone needs to get hired.
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.
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.
Transparent, direct, crew-first.

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