Private Access

PRIVATE ACCESS

Word of Mouth, Formalized.

The best crew have always been found the same way — through a call to someone you trust. Private Access works the same way, just faster and wider.

  • A captain who knows a good chief stew.

  • A first mate who worked with a great engineer last season

  • Deckhand knows of a chef that is employed but looking.

We work every channel — network contacts, direct outreach, crew who aren't posting their availability anywhere. Then we filter. What lands in your shortlist isn't everyone we found. It's the people worth calling.

How We Work

Tell us what you need

Fill out a short intake form — position, vessel type, start date, preferences. It takes five minutes and tells us everything we need to begin.

We find your crew

MOOR reaches into a network of currated crew — including those not actively looking. We confirm availability, interest, and experience based on your specific needs.

Why captains come back

You're running a boat. You don't have a week to read CVs and chase crew who aren't a fit.

By the time you see a name, we've already had the conversation you'd want to have. We've talked with them about your boat, heard from the people they've worked for, and made sure they are available and interested in the position.

Emery sent me 3 referrals and I wish I could have hired all three!

Private Access provided the personalized service I needed. Not 20 CVs that I didn't. The net you are casting is the key in my opinion. Thank you!
