Peter Lloyd - Yacht Owner March 2006
This is the first time that I have used your service (or any other crew placement service for that matter) – and it appears to be a most efficient way of finding people. Thanks – for your excellent service.

Jurgen Kirsch - Yacht Owner March 2006
I found Crewseekers extremely useful and I will certainly recommend you to colleagues and friends... Thanks very much for your help and your best wishes.

Chris Bean - Delivery Skipper - Feb 2006
Crew positions now filled thank you.When I mail crew as to what to bring I usually end up by saying "don't forget your 'Pirate Union Card' !!!!!!!!!!

One of them replied "but Crewseekers didn't issue me with a membership card." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Erick Reickert Yacht Owner - Feb 2006
Have just filled the First and Cook positions for my yacht.... They were Crewseeker people who responded to my position posting in January. Thank you, your service is great...

Roland Ruedin Director Liberty Marine - Feb 2006
We wish to inform you that the job is taken. The ad worked well and we had many qualified candidates writing to us. Thank you and kind regards

Terry Davies Yacht Owner - Jan 2006
We hired JH who applied through your site.  We will be happy to recommend Crewseekers to our colleagues and will certainly post jobs with you again in the future

Chris Bowns Yacht Owner - November 2005
I would like to let you know that the position for crew on my catamaran Anticia has now been filled. Thank you for providing the advertising service, I received many applications, the majority from people with excellent experience.

Brendan Budd - Yacht Owner and Delivery Skipper October 2005
Thanks again for your help. Although this and my last trip are own boat passages, I have used Crewseekers for finding Delivery Crew and it is a great resource to be able to call on.

Tony Clynick - Captain S/Y Tristan - October 2005
The advertisement for the Mates position on the sailing yacht Tristan produced a large number of very good applicants. It was not easy making a decision, but I have finally selected a candidate and offered them the job. I would like to thank crewseekers for all the help they have given me...

Leslie Pickard - Yacht Owner September 2005
Two of my four crew were recruited through Crewseekers, so it speaks well of your operation. Keep up the good service.

Tony Plummer - Yacht Owner September 2005
Once again thank you very much for the help in finding crew for our passage to Rio.  As usual 'Crewseekers' were successful and Chris R was in touch within two days. I had one other application but he could not join us immediately. Chris has now joined the yacht in Bermuda and we plan to sail within a day or two weather permitting. Thanks a million and no doubt I will be back to take advantage of your great service.

Alastair Kenneil - Yacht Owner September 2005
Renewed thanks for your excellent service. The crew are Mike E, Dan S and Darren S. I will recommend your service enthusiastically

Brendan Budd - Yacht Owner August 2005
Thanks for the posting which has, yet again, proved successful. Three crew taken on and other useful contacts for the future. Please delist asap.Many thanks and best wishes

Steve Turnbull - Yachtowner for November Transat - August 2005
I would like to thank you for the crewseekers website. I advertised a couple of months ago and have been inundated with enquiries from suitable crew. I have now filled the crewlist... and I look forward to advertising with you again in the future.

Tony Plummer - Yacht Owner June 2005
Thank you so much once again for all your help in the matter of finding a crew. The position is now filled. Your suggestion that we contact RL in Ohiio worked out well. The owner of the yacht has been in touch with him personally and liked what he found. We are now in Bermuda on our way to Nantucket and R will join us on Friday having been offered a Contract. Great service. Thank you.

Joanne Westeng - Yacht Owner June 2005
Thanks for your email and your service.  We have now found a crew member to help us with our July charter so would be grateful if you could remove our advertisement from your site. It was extremely useful and a very good way of putting people in touch with each other. Thank you.

Jean-François Bentz - Company Yacht Owner June 2005
I confirm that I have been quite impressed by your organisation and found a crew through many interesting contacts from Crewseekers.JK and MS have signed a contract with my company... They will sail in the Pacific Ocean for 3 years starting from Auckland where they will arrive by plane by June 15.

Judy Fontana - Yacht Owner Honolulu, Hawaii May 2005
Thanks so much for your service. J.O. of the UK joined us for the passage from Mexico to Hawaii and he was a real asset. Nobody was interested in the passage to Alaska. Can't say that I blame them. We leave for Kodiak, Alaska tomorrow and will definitely use crewseekers in the future.

Jean-François Bentz - Director Brand Trust - May 2005
I should congratulate you for the efficiency of your organisation and the good quality of people who came through.I am now in the process of dealing with a team out of a short list of two, of which one is coming from “Crewseekers”.

PS: I have now discovered number of your services, so I will approach you more frequently!

Richard Spademan Skipper May 2005
Well, we did not depart Phuket in January this year as the Tsunami wiped out the fueling facilities in Galle and we had doubts about reaching Cochin with our fuel capacity. Will try again this coming season. We have had good "findings" with you (British, Dutch, American, Danish, Australian) and look forward to departing this coming January with a full crew.

Graham Harris Skipper - May 2005
G’day Gang. Another great day downunder with temperatures in the mid twenties, blue skies but evenings bit on the cold side. A great start to winter.

Many thanks for placing my request for a crew member on your site for me. I had 4 replies and really I would of like to taken them all but in the end chose a guy ... Again, many thanks for the great service and to tell you the truth I thought that I wouldn’t have much luck what with the French language a necessity but you came out smiling and covered in cream.

Have a great day... All the best

James Parker - Skipper May 2005
I recently posted an advert on your site for crew volunteers .... I must say I was very impressed with the promptness of the update to your website! 

Nicholas Eaton Yacht Owner April 2005
now have a full crew for my passage from St Maarten to Lagos, SW Portugal on Swan 46 "Cochise" and so I would be grateful if you would remove the notice relating to this trip from your website. Thank you for helping me find crew for this trip - I will certainly be using your services again.

David Munro - Yacht Owner Feb 2005
I have found the crew that I need for the trip specified so you can remove it from your listing. Using crewseekers was a positive experience. I had responses from about six candidates all of whom could have done the job. I will use the service again.

Thanos Christopoulos - Yacht Owner and former crew member - Jan 2005
I have mentioned your service to both owners and crew many times as I have been using it for more than 10 years myself, initially as crew and then as a yacht owner. And I have to say you are doing a great job.... Again, many thanks and I hope you continue your great service for a long time.
