New superyacht recruitment agency: Shoreside

Crew & Concierge is expanding its business with a new arm — recruiting personnel for shoreside superyacht positions.

Shoreside aims to provide a full-scope recruitment resource for the superyacht industry, able to source naval architects and designers, interior designers, project managers, yacht managers and operational staff, as well as marine surveyors and technical support.

“We’ve been entrusted by our clients to recruit crew for their superyachts and private residences for over 15 years, and we are delighted to be now working with some of the most highly regarded names in yachting to help grow their office, design, and corporate teams,” says Sara Duncan, MD of both Crew & Concierge and Shoreside. “Our comprehension of various industry roles means that we’re able to recruit for more complex on-shore positions – roles that require a distinct skill set and experience that goes beyond the norm.”

Shoreside will also recruit personnel for charter and brokerage houses, office-based and administrative positions, as well as PAs, EAs, marketing teams, bookkeeping and accountancy departments.

Shoreseide’s plan is to help the industry to better retain knowledge and expertise, and offer better career progression. As well as crew looking to make the transition into shore-based roles, Shoreside aims to draw on an international, cross-industry pool of expertise and those who are already shore-based superyacht industry professionals.
