We keep our names off the site on purpose. This was never about us — it’s about giving crew the same clarity the other side of the table has always had.
Spend any time in a yacht crew Facebook group and you’ll see the same posts on repeat: unpaid wages, contracts that were never issued, leave that vanished, situations onboard nobody knew how to raise. Underneath almost every one is the same quiet advice — “get it in writing,” “check your SEA,” “talk to a lawyer.”
The problem is that advice arrives after the damage is done. By the time you’re owed thousands, the leverage is gone. And most disputes are too small for a lawyer to take, so crew are left choosing between an expensive fight and simply eating the loss.
CrewRights is the step that comes first. Fixed-fee, plain-English, crew-side. We help you understand your contract before you sign it, catch problems while you still have options, and communicate clearly when something’s gone wrong — so that most of the time, it never has to reach a lawyer at all.
We don’t advise owners, managers or captains on the other side. One side of the table, no conflicts — that separation is non-negotiable.
You’ll never get a surprise invoice for “0.4 hours.” One price, agreed up front, for a clearly defined piece of work.
If your case really needs a maritime lawyer, we’ll say so — and point you toward one. No selling you a pack that won’t fix it.
No Latin, no 40-page memos. Just what your contract means, what you’re owed, and what to do next.
Start with a free guide, or tell us your situation and we’ll point you to the right pack.
