About CrewRights

CrewRights was created for yacht and commercial crew who need clarity before they escalate. Many crew do not need legal action first. They need a calmer, clearer first step: someone to help organise the facts, understand the issue, and prepare professional documents without unnecessary pressure.

Why CrewRights exists?

CrewRights was created to fill the gap between informal online advice and immediate legal escalation. Many crew know something feels wrong but do not yet know what is reasonable, what documents matter, or how to raise the issue professionally. Our free guides for yacht crew explain your rights on pay, leave, contracts, and termination This service exists to make that first stage clearer, calmer, and more structured. 

What CrewRights helps you do.

CrewRights provides fixed-fee information and document-preparation support for issues such as unpaid wages, leave discrepancies, unclear SEA terms, and carefully drafted workplace communication

Not a law firm

Not employer-facing representation

Not hidden legal escalation

Not a replacement for qualified legal advice where legal advice is needed
