Nautilus expands yacht partner network with Venture Yacht Crew
19 February 2025

Nautilus International is strengthening its support for yacht crew by welcoming Venture Yacht Crew as its latest strategic partner — bringing the total number of partners in the yacht sector to 28.
Venture Yacht Crew, a newly established recruitment company, is Maritime & Coastguard Agency-certified and committed to upholding the highest standards for yacht professionals. Based in the UK, the agency focuses on ensuring fair treatment, career support, and compliance for seafarers at every stage of their journey.
Chantelle Crofton, director of Venture Yacht Crew, said:
'We are dedicated to protecting the rights and safety of the crew we place on vessels. Our partnership with Nautilus ensures that seafarers receive the support they deserve while maintaining industry best practices.'
Cheryl McCann, Nautilus strategic organiser, added:
'We are delighted to welcome Venture Yacht Crew as a strategic partner. Their commitment to fair employment aligns with Nautilus's mission to protect and empower yacht crew. Together, we will work to raise standards across the industry.'
Why this matters for yacht crew
This partnership strengthens Nautilus's growing network of allies who advocate for better working conditions, fair pay, and seafarers' rights. If you work in yachting, being part of Nautilus means having a strong voice in an industry that often lacks worker protections.
