Our agents

Your matchmaker has done the job.

Every Fit2Sea placement is handled by a working — or recently working — Head of Department. Captains, chief stews, chief engineers, pursers, bosuns and head chefs. Not desk recruiters. People who know the difference between a 40m charter and a 70m private programme, and what each one actually needs onboard.

Why this matters

What changes when an industry insider runs the match

Real onboard knowledge

They know what 'service standard 90' actually looks like at 7am after a back-to-back charter — because they've lived it.

In-person verification

Where possible, agents meet candidates in person. Identity, presentation, English level, and guest-facing readiness — all confirmed.

Honest shortlists

An agent who has stood on the same deck won't waste your time with a candidate that won't survive your programme.

The network

A small, vetted bench

We deliberately keep the agent network small. Each agent is anonymised here until they choose to be named — but you'll know exactly who you're working with from your first call.
