About us
Founded in 2025, Sailing Match was created to make the process of finding the right crew for the sailing superyacht industry easier and more efficient. We recognized that captains often struggled to find crew with the right sailing yacht experience, while crew members were seeking a recruiter who truly understood their needs.
With years of experience on sailing superyachts and a strong background in recruitment, we specialize in matching top-tier crew with the perfect yacht, ensuring both captains and crew feel confident in their roles. Our team is multicultural, speaking English, Italian, Spanish and we’re committed to providing a personalized experience every step of the way.

Find out why we are a great fit
for your needs!
Real Sailor Experience
We’ve been on deck, in the galley, and at the helm. This isn’t just business to us—it’s the life we know and love. When we make a match, it’s based on real-world experience, not algorithms.
MLC Complaint
Sailing Match is committed to providing a safe and compliant recruitment platform in accordance with international maritime standards, including the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC)
We Speak Your Language
We’re native speakers of English, Italian, Spanish, and Catalan, so you can feel comfortable communicating in the language you know best. Whether you're crew or captain, local or international—we make sure nothing gets lost in translation.
Ongoing Support
Our service doesn’t stop once you’re matched. We’re here to answer questions, solve problems, and make sure both crew and yachts are happy throughout the journey.
Tailored to Sailing Yachts
We specialize in sailing yachts—because that’s our world. Whether you run a classic sloop, a performance catamaran, or a world-cruising ketch, we understand the rhythm, roles, and chemistry that make a sailing crew work.
Built on Relationships, Not Volume
We’re not a mass recruitment agency. Sailing Match is about building a strong, trusted network of sailors and captains who respect each other and share a passion for the sea.
