This brainstorm session is a call for industry leadership to strategically address the disconnect between current crew recruitment practices and the operational realities onboard. The goal is to identify the recruitment challenges and establish a higher bar for talent acquisition and retention.

Attendees will collaborate with key visionaries and expert insights from Raising the Bar Think Tank include Viking Crew, Bluewater Yachting,  Crewdentials, Arrow Monaco, Crew Unlimited, and Hill Robinson to diagnose inconsistent processes across the ecosystem—from recruitment agents to yacht HR. We will define clear responsibilities for accurate job descriptions, effective onboarding, and probationary periods, focusing on the future of HR management and crew welfare.

The tangible outcome of this strategic session will be NXT-level solutions and actionable feedback that the working group will drive forward throughout the year, ensuring long-term success for the industry’s most vital asset: its people.
