OUR STORY
From Military Precision to Maritime Excellence
After 12 years of service in the Royal Marines, our founder, Andrew Holme, embarked on a career within the superyacht industry, where he quickly recognised how his skills, mindset, and maritime experience seamlessly translated into life onboard.
Bringing a Higher Standard to Sea and Shore
Insignia Crew was founded to bring this calibre of professionalism to both sea and land appointments. We represent exceptional former military and civilian talent, creating balanced, high‑performing teams that better serve our clients across superyachts, private estates, and family offices.

Whether at sea or on land, we support individuals who embody refined service, discretion, and excellence — and we are honoured to guide them as they progress toward the next stage of their professional journey.
