Role definition
Clarify what the yacht genuinely needs, the reporting line, rotation or leave structure, and the experience appropriate to the operation.
Additional client support
Crew support, when required within an existing client relationship.
Crew selection and administration are not a primary A1 business line. They are coordinated selectively where they support an owner, family office or yacht already advised by A1.
Our approach
A supporting function — never a volume recruitment service.
Where required, A1 brings first-hand command experience to role definition, candidate judgement and team fit, coordinating appropriate providers while keeping the owner’s wider objectives and the yacht’s culture in view.
Scope of support
Clear, coordinated, accountable.
Selection support
Review candidates with attention to competence, references, communication, expectations and fit with the existing team.
Owner & captain alignment
Keep key stakeholders informed while respecting the captain’s operational responsibility and the owner’s expectations.
Crew realities
Provide balanced advice grounded in first-hand seagoing and command experience rather than desk-based assumptions.
Administration coordination
Coordinate payroll, travel and insurance through the appropriate established providers and management partners.
Direct access
Senior advice, personal coordination, direct accountability.
