Apologies if this is in the wrong place, I am new to Y and Y forums.

I am interested on crewing on yacht deliveries, ideally transatlantic, but I would be potentially interested in any crewing opportunities. Does anybody know the best places online to find boats who need crew for delivery at short notice? I've had a search on Google but I'm not coming across much.

Many thanks for any help.

I used to work for Reliance Yachts not sure if they are still around but can't recommend them enough, myself and several mate have had several profitablish deliveries from them.

How much experiance have you got, where abouts are you based, and how far would you be happy to travel to find a ride?

I'm based in the UK, in Wales at the moment, but happy to travel to get on a boat if necessary.

I've got a day skipper qualification from about 5 years ago, and sailed on many a flotilla holiday as a kid, but I haven't been on a boat recently.

Cheers

There are websites that you can register too to get work of that kind. I know UKSA have a careers vacancies but not sure if that is only for ex UKSA people.

BTW 99% of us are in UK!!!
