I have worked with YPI CREW for almost 20 years now, both on a personal level finding work and placing me on yachts, as well as finding new crew for the various vessels I have worked on. Jacqui and her Engineering Team assisted in crewing a 90m motor yacht from build in which we kept the same 8x rotational engineers for 5+ years. That’s a true sign of finding the right individuals for the correct yacht & existing crew.
