The full platform opens soon. Join the waitlist and you are in the first group we let in.

What you get

One profile, four sectors

Explore opportunities across the maritime industry without starting over each time.

Know what's valid

See what needs renewing before it expires, with every certificate date in one place.

You choose who sees you

Your name and contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.

Free for seafarers

No fee for recruitment or placement — required by MLC 2006, not a promotion.

Where you can work

Four sectors.
One profile.

A season on deck, a contract at sea, a career ashore. Build your profile once and it travels with you across all four.

  • Stern of a motor yacht in a marina

    Superyacht

    Motor and sailing yachts: deck, engineering, interior, galley and specialist crew.

    Includes charter, gulet and day-boat seasons on the Turkish, Greek and Croatian coasts.

  • A cruise ship officer on the open deck at sunset, hotel crew at work behind him

    Cruise

    Marine operations, hotel operations, hospitality, entertainment, medical and retail roles on passenger ships.

    Fleet-scale hiring, structured contracts and defined embarkation dates.

  • Container ship alongside in port

    Merchant Shipping

    Deck, engine, electro-technical and catering roles on dry cargo, tanker, container, RoRo and ferry vessels.

    Specialisms by vessel type, mapped to STCW certificates of competency.

  • Technicians walking the quay at a refit yard, a superyacht alongside

    Shore-Based

    Fleet management, crewing, technical management, shipyards, marinas, ports, brokerage and commercial roles.

    Bring your sea time ashore without starting your career over.

How it works

One profile,
one point of consent.

Three steps, each opened by the one before it. No unsolicited messages and no disclosure without your consent.

  1. 01

    Build your profile once

    Your positions, sea time and certificates with their dates, saved step by step. Stop at any point and continue when you are back in signal range.

  2. 02

    Appear in the pool with your identity hidden

    Employers see a reference code and your professional profile — role, sea time, certificates and availability — never your name or contact details. You can also block a specific company from seeing your profile at all.

  3. 03

    Decide which employers see your file

    Only an employer you have applied to, or whose contact request you accepted, sees your full work history and certificates. Your name and contact details follow only after a confirmed hire.

Why seafarers pay nothing

No fees or other charges for recruitment or placement shall be borne, directly or indirectly, by the seafarer.

For seafarers

Find your next role while you are still in your current one.

Your name and contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them, so you can look without putting your current position at risk. Record your certificates once and get a warning before they expire.

  • Identity hidden
  • Certificate expiry tracking

For employers

Build your next maritime team with confidence.

Review experience, credentials and availability in one place. Publish a job and receive applications ranked by fit, with what is missing shown alongside.

How hiring works

  1. 01

    Get your company verified

    Tax number, trade registry and company document are checked. This verifies the company — it is not a check of any candidate's certificates, which carry their own separate status.

  2. 02

    Add the vessel and the job

    You choose when the vessel name becomes visible: always, after application, or never.

  3. 03

    Search the pool by score

    A candidate with an expired mandatory certificate cannot reach the top of the list, and the reason is shown alongside.

  4. 04

    Send a contact request

    If the candidate accepts, their work file and a conversation open for that job. Name and contact details follow once the hire is confirmed on the platform. One request per candidate every 30 days.

Tracking and oversight

Certificates, scores and access,
tracked in one place.

Certificate expiry

Every certificate you record has its expiry date tracked. Anything due within 90 days is marked amber, anything expired red. Medical certificates are tracked for your own reminders only and are never shown to an employer.

STCW Basic Safety2028-03 · valid
PDSD2026-11 · 76 days
Master 500 GT2029-06 · valid
GMDSS GOC2026-04 · expired
Seaman's Bookno expiry

Fit score

Computed from position, certificate validity, experience, languages and availability. A score is never the whole answer: mandatory requirements are listed separately, so a strong score with a missing visa still reads as blocked.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What the waitlist is for, and what SeaTalent will be when it opens.

When does SeaTalent open?

Soon — the first version is being finished now. We are deliberately not naming a date we cannot keep. Everyone on the waitlist hears from us before the public launch, and gets in first.

Which sectors will it cover?

Superyacht, cruise, merchant shipping and shore-based roles. Charter, gulet and day-boat work sits within the superyacht sector. One profile covers all four, so your sea time follows you when you move between them — or when you come ashore.

Will it cost seafarers anything?

No, and that will not change. No fee for recruitment or placement, directly or indirectly. This is not a launch promotion: MLC 2006 and Turkish Law No. 4904 prohibit charging seafarers for either. The employer side is where SeaTalent earns.

Who will see my name and contact details?

Nobody, until you decide. Your profile appears under a reference code; an employer sees your role, sea time, certificates and availability — not your identity. We will not claim you are untraceable, because in a small sector a detailed profile can still narrow you down. That is exactly why you control what is shared, and when.

What are you building right now?

One career profile you keep for life: work history and sea time, certificates with expiry tracking, languages and references. On the employer side, company verification and a match that explains itself — why someone fits and what is missing, instead of a single score. Parts of this are still in development, and when we open we will tell you plainly what is ready and what is not.
