Crew Service

The SDSA Crew Service is a Member Benefit that connects Captains seeking Crew with Crew seeking boats for any sailing requirement at any time. Members may use this service for short or long term passages and for any sailing purpose, including coastal cruising, offshore passaging or a circumnavigation.

Captains utilize this service to find crew to assist with duties such as standing watch, to mentor fellow sailors, to find a cruising buddy or to find an experienced leader. Crew utilize this service to broaden their sailing experience and satisfy their passion for sailing.

As a non-profit educational and charitable volunteer sailing organization, we hope the Crew Service will be utilized to educate and assist sailors while fostering long-term relationships.

Additional Crew Service Resources for Members can be found here. (Archived webinars covering optimal strategies for securing crew positions or finding suitable crew for your boat, along with templates commonly utilized by owners and crew.)

Please follow the links below to learn more and feel free to contact our Crew Coordinator with questions.

“It has been 4+ years since Mona and I left with your group in November of 2013. I also crewed with on Rum Runner in Salty Dawg 2. Last week we reached Grenada to finish our circumnavigation. Thanks again for everything.”
