CREW Services
Getting the right Captain and crew is essential, as is the right mix of experience, motivation and supervision. We maintain records of many Captains and senior crew who are able and qualified to run today’s sophisticated yachts. We also work with a number of specialist agencies able to recruit or replace crew members for you.
It is essential that all crew have the correct, up-to-date qualifications to carry out their required duties. Our team will ensure this is the case at all times and can provide advice on suitability in relation to qualification requirements, certificates and courses, all in accordance with regulations.
Our team can provide support in ensuring all prospective crew members undergo relevant background checks, including references, security checks and drug testing.

Payroll
Day to day crew management
We work with leading yacht crew recruitment agencies to help our clients secure correctly qualified and medically fit crews, able to carry out the duties they are selected for. Medical examinations can be arranged where required and advice provided on suitability in relation to the certificates they have and courses they have attended. We can also recommend providers of reference and security checks if required.

Yes, for example yachts employing none USA crew in US waters will need a B1B2 visa to work onboard. Visa regulations mean if they are paid from a USA bank, technically they have the wrong visa. Using WYM Crew Services offshore payroll is the ideal solution.
Yachts employing crew within the EU have a tax and social security liability, unless the crew employment company is none EU based. Again, using WYM Crew Services offshore crew payroll is the ideal solution.
We can arrange and provide health insurances, organise travel and transportation, support crew with visas and immigration applications and medical treatments if required.

I wish to say a personal thank you for the support you have given me and Vortex Marine over the last two years. Peter, my late husband was pleased he picked the right yacht management company, yours, to help with all matters.
Pauline Bull, Motor Yacht Titan
It has been about a year since you have taken over the management of our client's 60 meter Feadship. We have previously had two other yacht management companies and even did the work ourselves for several months. I wanted to thank you for your excellent service and let you know how pleased we are in how seamlessly you have taken over and done just what we needed.
