How it works
Three steps for leading maritime companies to find the right candidate. Free, no commissions and no intermediaries.
The catalog where employers look for crew
GoMonkeyMate works like a visual Amazon-style catalog applied to the yachting world: owners, captains, management companies and service firms log in, filter by port, position, vessel size, language or certificate, and see real profiles with photo, CV, reference letters, availability and verified STCW/ENG1 credentials. There are no intermediaries, no commissions and no hidden fees: crew publishes their profile for free, employers pay a flat monthly fee for access, and every message lands directly in the professional's inbox — never routed through an agent. That structure flips the traditional dynamic on its head: instead of sending CVs to agencies that forward them to clients, your profile stays visible to every verified employer on the platform, 24 hours a day, in-season or off-season.
Why thousands of professionals pick a catalog over an agency
Crewing agencies often charge commissions that can exceed a full week's salary, and their shortlists depend on a specific person remembering you at the right moment. GoMonkeyMate removes that friction: your profile surfaces automatically whenever an employer filters by criteria you meet, with no reliance on anyone's memory. Because it is free for crew, there is no financial risk either: you try the platform, see the contacts you receive and decide later whether to activate Premium for extra visibility. If tomorrow you change port, role or availability, you update the profile and the changes are visible instantly to every subscribed employer.
