Cotton Crew Jobs will allow you to browse all nearby jobs based on your specific position and skillset. Here’s how to browse and apply:

  1. Log into the Cotton Crew Jobs App
    2. On the home screen, select the “BROWSE JOBS” option
    3. Tap each job posting to review job information (type, rates, location, start date, description)
    4. If interested, tap APPLY
    5. Your profile details will be sent to the captain for review

That’s it! Captains will contact you either via the app chat or directly on email or phone.

Captains/Hiring Manager will be able to send you a chat message via the app. These messages will appear in your CHATS page from the main menu options. You will be able to send responses only when the captain is online.

Unfortunately, all chats must be initiated by the captain. Captains/Hiring Managers can also choose to contact you directly on email or phone listed on your CV.

Cotton Crew recommends checking-in daily to remain at the top of the list so captains know you’re available. Another way to boost your profile is to request references from previous captains and employers who will be able to provide star-ratings and reviews. Use the convenient in-app tool to add references and check when they’ve been completed!

You can always switch your app to “not available” using the toggle on the home screen to prevent your profile from showing up in the captain’s search results. You can still review job postings and apply to job listings directly in the app.

We believe that we can connect crew with captains who are looking for crew any time of day, therefore giving you access to jobs you won’t be able to find the traditional way dockwalking, job posting sites, or Facebook. Our app is incredibly simple and easy to use, and with job status updates you’ll never be guessing if the job has been filled or reviewed by the captain!

If you already have a job or no longer want to appear in captain’s search results, tap “not available” toggle at the bottom of the home screen of the Cotton Crew Jobs App.

Cotton Crews has 2 versions: HIRE app (Blue logo) for captains and hiring managers and a JOBS app (Green logo) for yacht crew looking for work. These apps are downloaded and used separately.

To get hired for a yacht job, use the Cotton Crew JOBS app. To find local crew to hire, use the Cotton Crew HIRE app.

If your app displays the “available/not available” toggle at the bottom of your home screen, you may be using the crew version, Cotton Crew JOBS app by mistake.
