FAQ

Questions, answered straight

No fine print surprises. Here's how it actually works.

Is the first month really free?

Yes — both crew and companies get a full month with all features unlocked, no charge. Cancel any time during the free month and you pay nothing at all.

Why does crew membership cost $4.99 when other job boards are free?

Free platforms fill up with bots, duplicate accounts and abandoned profiles — and companies stop trusting them. A symbolic $4.99 for 3 months keeps the pool clean and serious, which means the companies contacting you are serious too.

How does profile verification work?

After you upload your CV and certificates (STCW, COC, medical), our team manually reviews the documents before your profile goes live. Verified profiles carry a visible badge that companies can trust.

Can my current employer see that I'm looking?

Not if you don't want them to. Stealth Mode hides your profile from specific companies you choose — including your current employer. You stay invisible to them while staying visible to everyone else.

Do you take any commission from my salary or the placement?

Never. Zero commission, from either side, ever. Companies pay a flat subscription; crew pay a symbolic membership. Your salary is between you and your employer — as it should be.

How do companies contact crew?

Directly, through the platform's messaging. No agency relaying messages, no delays, no filtering. You negotiate your own contract, face to face.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — one click, no questions, no retention calls. If you cancel during a free month you pay nothing; if you cancel later, your access simply runs to the end of the paid period.
