CLIENT REFERRALS

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Bronwyn gilchrist, head of service , candidate.

Saltwater Recruitment helped me find my dream job. From the start of my search right up to my placement, they have been attentively and genuinely involved in finding the best fit for me. Within a short amount of time Saltwater presented me three matching vacancies; facilitated in interviews and guided me with the best professional advice. I am now one happily employed yachtie! I absolutely love my job and am forever grateful!​

JARED MARTIN

Captain/chief officer , client of 60-90m yachts.

It’s been two over years of working with the Saltwater Recruitment team and we have been very happy with the level of professionalism and attention we receive when looking for a candidate to join us. 99% of the candidates that Saltwater have presented to us have been a perfect match for us, and when we had a candidate that did not work out, we were given an automatic replacement immediately, no questions asked. This is the kind of service we expect in the industry and Saltwater can supply this. ​

CHIEF OFFICER , 90M+

It has been a pleasure working with Saltwater. For every potential candidate they send, it is accompanied by a very useful paragraph that not only summarises the their CV, but includes information on reference checks, why they are suitable and any other points of note. Written references are verified verbally too. Saltwater is very proactive with their search for the right candidates.​

STEPHANIE DURKAN

Chief stew/purser , various motor yachts.

Saltwater is a top agency for all levels of recruitment needs. I have worked with Saltwater on both sides of recruitment - to find crew to join my team and also over the years to find the best jobs which match my needs. The team are so personable, experienced and professional from start to finish of any recruitment process. I highly recommend. ​

How to Create a Professional Online Presence

INTERVIEW WITH…A PRIVATE HOUSEHOLD NANNY

INTERVIEW WITH…A SUPER YACHT CHEF

I am the HR Director for an international property firm and used 19 London to hire multiple members of staff, including a PA, Receptionist and an Office Manager, after our PSL agencies let us down. Helen and her team did a fantastic job – everything was seemless, their shortlist was spot-on and we interviewed every candidate they had sent. After losing confidence in agencies, 19 London have won me over and are now top of our PSL.

HR Director

Finding a Personal Assistant can be a pain-staking job at times. I’ve had 3 in 2 years and am fed up of paying agency fees only to be let down each time. 19 London offered competitive rates and it really felt like they took time to understand my problem and find me a solution. From introduction to placement, it took only one week and it never felt like they were after a quick buck. I am super impressed. Well done and thank you guys. I’ll certainly be recommending you again.

High Net Worth Businessman

I was recommended to 19 London by another television production company, after they found a PA for their own CEO, and I am so thankful for that recommendation. The agency did a first class job and we could not be more pleased with our hire. Definitely one to watch!

Chief Operations Officer

My friend, an actress, recommended 19 London to me after they found her a PA. I wanted someone discreet and didn’t want to be fussed over as I had to deal with this hire myself. Seriously – don’t use anyone else – these guys are top notch.

High Profile American Singer

19 London – you saved me! You got what I wanted straight away, you listened, you made me laugh, you made the process so much easier and less tiresome. My hire is worth every penny. I’ll be back soon!

Media Entrepreneur

Helen contacted me whilst we were half way through our hire process. And I’m so glad she did. It had taken us 5 months and over 30 interviews to get to the point we were at and no-one seemed right for our team. Within 24 hours of briefing Helen, she sent me a shortlist of 5 people, 4 of which we interviewed, and 2 of which we ended up hiring – within 10 days. Incredible service. Incredible agency!

I was lucky enough to be recommended to Helen, a Director at 19 London, for my job search. I'd heard great things about 19, but was sceptical about leaving my position as I had been in the same role for 14 years. Helen was so understanding, very responsive, always kept me up to date and found me a new role within 10 days. I have now been in the role for 2 months and could not be happier.

PA to Film Actress

I'm always hesitant about recruitment agencies - I always feel ignored and at the bottom of the pile for every job I go for. 19, however, really made an effort to make me feel special and looked after. I found my dream job really quickly, my consultant was so lovely and fun and made the whole experience so easy. I need to find a second PA for my boss, and I won't be going anywhere else other than 19.

Personal Assistant to CEO of Global Advertising Agency

I love 19 London. They're young, cool, modern and they just get it - exactly what the industry needs.

Office Manager for American Media Company

I'd been in my position in PR for 8 years and needed a change. My partner recommended 19 to me after using them for her own job search. They have been incredibly professional and easy to deal with. I was well looked after and advised throughout the entire process and I have taken the next step in my career to a huge company and I owe 19 London for helping me achieve this goal.

PR Director for International Co-Working Corporation

Best agency ever! Love the staff, love the company, love the brand - I had a great experience and will be recommending them to my network for sure!

Receptionist for Private Equity Firm

Lucas Urruty Officer of the Watch (OOW) "I started yachting 7 years ago, from not knowing the industry at all to getting my first OOW position last year. I remember in the first stages of my training I had nobody to guide me on how or in what order or priority to do my modules. I followed the yacht route, and up until now I have always gone back to Yotspot in my career to see what requirements, sea time and courses I need and in what order as a reference. I have booked at least 4 of my modules through Yotspot and even got my current job thanks to the site. It has changed the game in our industry regarding crew, training and so much more, highly recommend! "

Liubov Chunikhovska Ex Chief Stewardess (MY Luna, 100m) "If you're looking for a job or recruiting crew I personally think that Yotspot is the best service in the industry. It basically has everything you need in one place. Yotspot has been crucial to work with professionals and provides a high-level of support. Thank you Yotspot Team and wishing you inspiration to keep going with new ideas along with success!"

I have chosen to look on this platform because it offers full spectrum of options that you want to include in your search such as temporary or rotational position. I haven't seen it on any other yacht job search site and I always found it super useful to specify your search like that and look for the best option for me. Yotspot is a time saver.

Post-Brexit requirements for British crew in the EU

Yacht agents in france, italy and spain advise on the immigration implications for british crew in the eu from january….

Brexit may come as a blow to many British crew who, until 1 January 2021, had the luxury of being able to travel freely around the European Union without many immigration considerations. But, as Kerry Allerton, operations manager at Evolution Yacht Agents in Spain, explains, Brexit now means that British crew fall into the same category as other non-EU crew.

“The UK has now become a ‘third country’ in EU terms and this groups British nationals in with the rest of the world,” Allerton advises. “But it’s very manageable: captains are used to dealing with American, Australian and Kiwi crew coming into Europe – they can enter without a visa but are only allowed to stay in the EU for 90 days within a rolling 180-day period – and the same now applies to British crew.”

Essentially British crew, as with any other British or non-EU nationals, will now get a stamp in their passport when they arrive in any EU country, which will start the clock on their 90-day limit within the EU zone (not just in that particular country). When they join a boat, they may then request to get stamped out of the EU and stamped back in when they disembark, meaning the period they are on a crew list does not count towards the 90-day limit.

“Once crew are stamped onto the boat and out of the EU, most countries allow them to travel within 10km of the vessel,” adds Allerton. “Crew wishing to travel, either temporarily or permanently, beyond that will have to stamp into the EU beforehand.” In summary, any change in crew list involving British crew now requires a stamp.

While there have been some differences in how local immigration offices are managing the situation for crewmembers already embarked on a vessel in Spain on 1 January, the general policy is that these crew do not need to visit immigration to stamp on board and out of the EU. “If you are not stamped in, you do not need to get stamped out,” says Allerton. “Instead, the moment crew disembark they will need to get stamped in – which could be in January or at a later date – and that is when their days in the EU start being counted.” 

While there have been some differences in how local immigration offices are managing the situation for crewmembers already embarked on a vessel in Spain on 1 January, the general policy is that these crew do not need to visit immigration to stamp on board and out of the EU.

Riviera Yacht Support has been advising crew on the new post-Brexit regulations for UK citizens in France from 1 January. “As British crew will now be treated as non-EU/Schengen citizens, they will be required to be stamped in and out of the Schengen area when arriving and departing from Schengen states,” explains Campbell Cormack, sales and operations at Riviera Yacht Support. 

“At present there is no visa system in place, but this is set to change. All British crew embarking onto a yacht within the Schengen states will be required to be stamped out of the Schengen to allow a pause of the 90-day period limit and stamped back in to the Schengen prior to debarkation of the vessel. All UK passports will also be required to have a minimum of six months validity for travel.” 

At the beginning of January, Riviera Yacht Support was recommending British crew already on board a yacht within the Schengen states to be stamped out of the Schengen by customs – so as not to cause any problems or issues when leaving or returning to the Schengen states – and successfully organised for a few crewmembers to do so through the customs office in Cannes. 

However, when they took more crew to do the same the following day, they were told that the port office in Cannes would now only permit the stamping out of crew who have been stamped in on arrival to the Schengen area, and that crew who are already in France and have no entry stamp cannot be stamped out.

“So, the next stamp these crew could get is the stamp out, but that will only be when they get to the airport,” explains Cormack. “It’s a grey area – if they change the rules again it could cause issues for crew when they go to leave the Schengen later in the year and can’t prove that they haven’t exceeded the 90-day limit.”

Cormack adds, however, that the customs office in Toulon is currently stamping crew in and out of the Schengen. “It appears we are in a state of flux and things haven’t settled down yet,” he concludes.

Ambra Sartore, ship agent at All Services , provides an overview of the similar situation in Italy; “From 1 January, UK passport holders will be ‘treated’ like Americans, Australians etc., so they do not need to apply for a multi-entrance Schengen Visa and they can stay in the Schengen territory for up to 90 days every six months. On arrival in one of the Schengen countries, they will now get a stamp in to the Schengen, which will be the date from which the 90 days will start counting down. In order to save their days from counting down, they will need to get another stamp out of the Schengen prior to joining the yacht, and again a stamp in once they leave the vessel.”

Crews announced for The Boat Race 2024

The Cambridge and Oxford crews for The Boat Race 2024 have been officially unveiled at a crew announcement held at the iconic Battersea Power Station.

The 36 student rowers who have won a place in the Blue Boat were announced at the event which was held in public for the first time in the Boat Races’ history.

The crews for the Women’s Race were unveiled first of all, and the Cambridge crew will feature two returning faces, Jenna Armstrong and Carina Graf, but for the others it is their first time in the coveted Blue Boat.

The crews for the Men’s Race were then unveiled, and this year there are five returning Blues: Seb Benzecry, Noam Mouelle, Tom Lynch, Luca Ferraro and Matt Edge.

The full line-ups are as follows:

Cambridge Women’s Blue Boat

Cox: Hannah Murphy     (Girton - MPhil Health, Medicine and Society) Stroke: Megan Lee (Lucy Cavendish - MPhil  Management) 7: Iris Powell (Churchill - BA Natural Sciences) 6: Carys Earl (Gonville and Caius - BA Medicine) 5: Carina Graf    (Emmanuel - PhD Neuro Sci) 4: Jenna Armstrong (Jesus - PhD Physiology) 3: Clare Hole (St Catharine’s - MPhil Population Health Sciences) 2: Jo Matthews (St John’s - BA Medicine (Clinical)) Bow: Gemma King (St John’s - MRes + PhD Stem Cell Biology)

Cambridge Men’s Blue Boat

Cox: Ed Bracey (Wolfson - MPhil Economics) Stroke: Matt Edge (St Catharine’s - PhD Chem Eng) 7: Luca Ferraro (King’s - BA Classics) 6: Tom Lynch (Hughes Hall - PhD Engineering) 5: Kenny Coplan (Hughes Hall - MPhil History of Art) 4: Gus John (Wolfson - MPhil Medieval History) 3: Thomas Marsh (St John’s - PhD Physics) 2: Noam Mouelle (Hughes Hall - PhD Astrophysics) Bow: Seb Benzecry (Jesus - PhD Film Studies)

Asked by the host of the event, BBC Sport commentator Andrew Cotter, about whether there was a challenge integrating new faces into the Blue Boat, Cambridge Women’s Coach Patrick Ryan said: “Actually there are no new faces, every single one of them is a returner – just new Blues!”

The Cambridge Men’s and Women’s clubs unified in 2020 and Patrick added: “As we’ve become one club, we’ve learned to share more information and work together, hopefully for the betterment of the athletes here tonight.”

Cambridge Men’s Coach Rob Baker was then asked whether the number of returning Blues in the Men’s Boat would give Cambridge an advantage.

“Every year is different, every year is a challenge,” said Rob. “It’s great to have guys that have won the race and been through the process before, but yes it’s always a big challenge but we are up for it”.

It was the first time that Battersea Power Station, which famously featured on a Pink Floyd album cover, has hosted the crew announcement event. Siobhan Cassidy, Chair of the Boat Race Company Limited, said the venue was appropriate, given that it was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who was also behind iconic buildings at Cambridge and Oxford, including Cambridge University Library.

She added: “[The Boat Race] is the ultimate British tradition, which draws on its heritage yet, with boats full of young students, it is very much an event that looks to the future.

“These young people have a unique opportunity to take to the water on such a high profile day. In order to get there they have made incredible choices. They have combined a full-time rigorous academic schedule with training and racing throughout the year - so let’s not underestimate how impressive these young people really are”.

The Gemini Boat Race 2024 takes place in Putney, London, on Saturday 30 March  – with the Women’s Race starting at 14:46 BST and the Men’s Race at 15:46 BST – renewing an intense rivalry which stretches back nearly 200 years. The event will be broadcast live on BBC One from 14:00 BST.

Last year saw Cambridge University win both the men’s and women’s races, leaving the overall records as 86-81 in the favour of Cambridge Men’s and 47-30 in the favour of Cambridge Women’s.
