SDSA Crew Finder

  

The SDSA Crew Finder is a Member Benefit that connects Captains seeking Crew with Crew seeking boats for any sailing requirement at any time. Members may use this finder for short or long term passages and for any sailing purpose, including coastal cruising, offshore passaging or a circumnavigation.

Captains utilize this finder to find crew to assist with duties such as standing watch, to mentor fellow sailors, to find a cruising buddy or to find an experienced leader. Crew utilize this finder to broaden their sailing experience and satisfy their passion for sailing.

As a non-profit educational and charitable volunteer sailing organization, we hope the SDSA Crew Finder will be utilized to educate and assist sailors while fostering long-term relationships.

Additional Crew Finder Resources for Members can be found here. (Archived webinars covering optimal strategies for securing crew positions or finding suitable crew for your boat, along with templates commonly utilized by owners and crew.)

Please follow the links below to learn more and feel free to contact our Crew Coordinator with questions. 

IMPORTANT: THE SALTY DAWG SAILING ASSOCIATION DOES NOT VET, REVIEW, REFER, OR CONDUCT BACKGROUND CHECKS OF ANYONE POSTING TO THE SDSA CREW FINDER, BOTH CREW AND CAPTAINS ALIKE.  THE FINDER IS BEING PROVIDED AS A CONVENIENCE ONLY AND THE SDSA TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE EXPERIENCE, TEMPERAMENT OR CONDUCT OF ANY INDIVIDUALS OR BOATS.  ANYONE USING THE SDSA CREW FINDER DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK AND IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO COMPLETE A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK AND INTERVIEW PRIOR TO ACCEPTING AN OFFER OR POSITION.

Testimonials
“It has been 4+ years since Mona and I left with your group in November of 2013. I also crewed with on Rum Runner in Salty Dawg 2. Last week we reached Grenada to finish our circumnavigation. Thanks again for everything.”
