Fixed-fee information and document-preparation packs for unpaid pay, holiday pay, and SEA/contract concerns for yacht and commercial crew.
Know the cost before you begin. No surprise legal-style time charges
We review your documents, explain the issue clearly, and prepare structured output you can use.
Urgent cases may be handled faster where appropriate and within scope.
If something feels wrong, the hardest part is often knowing what to do next without making it worse. CrewRights is built for that moment: before emotional escalation, before expensive legal bills, and before you lose control of the situation.
Designed around the kinds of problems yacht and commercial crew actually face: unclear SEA terms, missing pay, leave discrepancies, and communication pressure.
Designed around the kinds of problems yacht and commercial crew actually face: unclear SEA terms, missing pay, leave discrepancies, and communication pressure.
Depending on the pack, you receive structured calculations, clear explanations, and carefully drafted documents.
No employer contact. No hidden agendas. No pressure to escalate. Just a structured, fixed-fee step to help you think and act more clearly.
We prepare tailored written reports and draft documents so you can act confidently. This service does not constitute legal advice. We do not contact employers or third parties.
Start from a short assessment and upload the key documents you already have.
We review your SEA, payslips, dates, messages, and supporting material.
You get a structured explanation and the practical drafting support included in your pack
Use it yourself, negotiate more calmly, or take it to a union or qualified lawyer if needed.
Practical, structured resources to help you check your pay, prepare for difficult conversations, and protect yourself before things escalate
Know what to look for and how to react before a late pay or leave issue turns into a larger dispute.
Understand common contract warning signs before you sign or respond.
Avoid emotional wording and communicate more carefully when the situation is already sensitive.
That is normal. Most crew who arrive here are not looking for a fight. They are looking for clarity.
That is exactly why the first step is structured review, not escalation. The goal is to understand the facts before reacting.
CrewRights is designed as a fixed-fee clarity and document-preparation step before you decide whether legal advice is even needed.
You stay in control. We do not contact employers or third parties, and we do not push you into legal action.
That is exactly what these packs are for.
CrewRights provides information and document preparation support. We organize relevant materials, clearly outline the situation, and prepare professional draft wording for your use. Matters requiring legal advice or formal representation fall within the remit of qualified professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.
Only after we confirm we can help. You submit your situation first (free). Within 24 hours, we review it and either send you a payment link or explain why we cannot help. No payment is ever taken before our confirmation.
No. CrewRights does not contact your captain, owner, manager, agency or employer on your behalf.
You stay in control of what happens next. We prepare your report, calculations and draft wording so you can decide whether to use it yourself, speak to a union, or ask a lawyer for advice.
Your information is treated confidentially and used only to prepare your pack, unless you clearly ask for another next step.
You can still use CrewRights while you are on board.
Many crew want to understand their position before saying anything or sending a message. Your pack helps you organise your facts, understand possible risks, and avoid emotional or rushed communication.
We do not escalate anything for you. You decide when, how, or whether to use the documents.
Choose the pack that matches your situation:
SEA Review Pack — if your contract feels unclear, rushed, one-sided, or you want to check before signing.
Pay & Leave Review Pack — if you have missing pay, unclear payslips, unpaid leave, deductions, or you want a calculation table.
Communication Pack — if you already know the issue but need a professional email or letter to send to a captain, manager, agency, union or lawyer.
If you are unsure, start with the assessment form and we will tell you if your situation appears outside the scope of these packs.
No. You do not need to be in a dispute.
You can use CrewRights before signing a contract, while you are still employed, after a payment issue, or after termination.
The purpose is to get clarity before you escalate, not to push you into a fight.
It depends on the pack, but usually we may ask for:
your SEA / contract;
payslips or payment records;
dates worked on board;
messages or emails about pay, leave, contract terms or termination;
a short explanation of what happened and what outcome you want.
You do not need everything perfectly organised before starting. The assessment form will guide you step by step.
Most packs are delivered within 2–3 business days after we receive your documents and completed intake form.
If your situation is urgent — for example, you are leaving the vessel soon, being pressured to sign something, or have a deadline — tell us in the assessment form. We will let you know if a faster review is possible.
You receive a clear document pack that may include explanations, tables, draft wording, and practical next-step options.
Depending on your situation, you can use it to:
prepare for a calm conversation;
send a professional email or letter;
speak to a union, welfare organisation or lawyer;
decide whether the issue is worth escalating.
The pack does not force you to act. It helps you understand your position and decide your next step with more confidence.
Start with a short assessment and we will point you to the most suitable next step
