Client testimonials

  • I've worked with Jessie on a number of occasions to source both deck and interior crew. I found her to be extremely capable, motivated and polite. Coming from a strong sailing yacht background clearly helped to give her the edge over an ever increasing pool of recruitment firms, in what is currently a challenging time to recruit good crew. I look forward to working with her again in her new company and would recommend her services wholeheartedly.

    Tom, captain 37m S/Y, September 2023

  • Overall an great experience with a number of excellent candidates presented for the position. I would highly recommend Jessica to other yachts seeking crew in the future

    Joaquín, successfully placed candidate onboard a 44m S/Y, November 2023

  • Jessica at Hello Sailor has helped us place three candidates on yachts we manage. Communication has always been fast, efficient with great details on candidates sent over. Being a management company who look after a lot of sailing yachts it´s great to have an agent who really understands the specialized skills required to work on them well. I´d highly recommend Jessica for sailing yacht placements and look forward to working with her more.

  • The communication with Jessica was very professional. She is very reliable, friendly, and leads you exceptionally through the recruitment process. I strongly recommend Hello Sailor and Jessica for your next sailing opportunity.

    Thanasis, successfully placed candidate, January 2024

  • Jess did a great job finding sailing couples for two positions that I needed to fill recently. She has great attention to detail, and her vetting process is the most thorough out of any other recruitment agency I’ve used. I highly recommend her, especially when looking for those niche sailing yacht crew that can be hard to find.
