As we start the beginning of another exciting and busy year Super Yacht Crew (SYC) has once again strengthened the team with the addition of Xanthe Laird. Xanthe has a proven tack record in yachting recruitment having worked for one of the world’s largest yachting recruitment companies for more than two years. Not only will Xanthe bring with her a wealth of knowledge and experience, but she will also be permanently based in Antibes providing SYC with a valuable connection to the world’s superyacht Capital.

Yachting runs through Xanthe’s veins. Her Father and two brothers all hold senior positions on board superyachts. It was inevitable that Xanthe would follow in the family tradition and in December 2004 she started what would become an extremely successful career in yachting. In 2012 Xanthe stepped ashore and started working in yachting recruitment. Her first hand experience on yachts and her naturally sociable personality were the perfect match and Xanthe quickly became the go to recruiter for all of her clients.

SYC is committed to providing the absolute best recruitment service to clients and candidates alike. Chris Warde, SYC’s Head of Marketing commented, “By working closely with our clients we can get a really good understanding of the crew dynamic, how the yacht is run and what sort of demands are placed on the crew. We become relied upon because we instinctively understand what sort of crewmember the yacht is looking for.” Warde continues, “Xanthe is an extremely competent recruiter with an excellent reputation in the industry and we are delighted that we are able to welcome her into the Super Yacht Crew family.”

Xanthe’s appointment also gives the UK recruitment agency a much-needed representation in the South of France. Despite successfully building the business through the Internet and digital media to date, being able to meet with clients and candidates face-to-face is an invaluable part of the recruitment process. As the vast majority of Superyachts in the Mediterranean will pass through the South of France at some point it made absolute sense for the Southern Europe representation to be in Antibes. With the recently appointed Northern European representative, Ian Wetherill, SYC now have a substantial and enviable representation across the whole of Europe.

Super Yacht Crew is a crew recruitment agency specialising exclusively in the superyacht industry. An MLC, 2006 compliant company, Super Yacht Crew’s aim is to provide a personal service to both its clients and crew. By carefully matching candidates to vacancies the aim is to provide the greatest opportunity for a happy, fulfilling and successful new job placement.
