Crew Services & Crew Change

Hotels and day rooms, airport transfers, laundry, gyms, doctors and crew-change logistics in every SVG port.

  • Crew hotels at every dock — vetted for crew
  • Crew-change coordination, airside to gangway
  • Crew inter-island transfers
  • Day rooms and showers between flights
  • Crew party advice and special occasion gifts
  • Pharmacy, GP and dentist appointments

Crew rotation is where most yacht visits gain or lose time. We move arriving crew from airport to yacht and joining-off crew from yacht to hotel/flight in the most efficient way possible.

What we coordinate

  • Hotel reservations vetted for dock proximity, security and cost
  • Day rooms and showers between flight legs
  • Ground transport, fast-ferry, helicopter and inter-island flights
  • Crew inter-island transfers
  • Laundry and crew uniforms pressed and delivered
  • Gym, beach and restaurant access for off-watch crew
  • Tours, boat hires and off-watch crew activities
  • Crew party advice and special occasion gifts
  • Medical, dental, pharmacy and optician appointments

Crew-change checklist

We confirm passport validity, onward ticket, visa status (where applicable), Seamen''s Book entries, signing-on / signing-off paperwork and Master''s signature requirements. Where the yacht is repositioning, we hand crew over to the next port''s agent without you having to call.

Crew Portal

Many captains and crew use our Crew Portal for repeat visits — saved profiles, preferred hotels, faster bookings.

Yes — fast-track airside greet, luggage and direct to vehicle. Add at least 24 hours notice for first-time crew.
