The right people.
For your next day aboard.
Plan your onboard support around the vessel, route, dates, and duties. Salt Life helps coordinate captain and crew requests for owner trips, vessel moves, and the preparation and guest care that happen around them.
Captain services for owner trips
Discuss your boat, departure location, itinerary, guests, and expected duties. Captain qualifications and availability must match the vessel and planned operation before an engagement is confirmed.
Vessel moves and delivery support
Share the proposed origin, destination, timeframe, vessel details, and current condition. Route, readiness, weather considerations, and the required operating qualifications inform the proposed scope.
Mates and deckhands
Request support for trip preparation, lines and fenders, deck duties, and onboard assistance. Define responsibilities and the experience needed for the vessel before crew arrangements are confirmed.
Stewards, stewardesses and interior support
Discuss interior preparation, hospitality, and guest-service needs for the planned trip. Include dates, guest count, expected duties, and whether support is for one outing or a longer engagement.
Plan the next step.
How far ahead should I request crew?
Send your dates as early as practical. Availability depends on the role, experience required, location, and trip length; a request is not a confirmed booking.
What information is needed for a captain request?
Include vessel make, length, location, intended route, dates, expected duties, and operating details. Vessel suitability and required qualifications are reviewed for each request.
