What makes Insignia Crew different from other superyacht crew and private staff agencies?
After 12 years of service in the Royal Marines, our founder Andrew Holme joined the superyacht industry, where he quickly saw how his skills, mindset and maritime experience seamlessly translated into roles on board.
Insignia Crew was founded to bring this level of professionalism to both sea and land appointments; we represent both former military AND civilian talent for balanced, high-performing teams to better serve our clients.
As a deliberately smaller and highly focused recruitment agency, we take pride in delivering a premium, discreet and personal service through a thoughtful, consultative approach.
How we work
Every candidate is personally screened for skills, attitude and cultural fit.
Private networks and a refined internal database mean no reliance on mass job boards!
Quality over quantity – fewer CVs, better matches.
Consistent communication – one point of contact, every time.
Fewer interviews, smoother onboarding, reduced turnover.
We act as an extension of your team – without the overheads.
