Why CrewRights?

If something feels wrong, the hardest part is often knowing what to do next without making it worse. CrewRights is built for that moment: before emotional escalation, before expensive legal bills, and before you lose control of the situation.

Built for real crew situations

Designed around the kinds of problems yacht and commercial crew actually face: unclear SEA terms, missing pay, leave discrepancies, and communication pressure.

Professional output you can use

Depending on the pack, you receive structured calculations, clear explanations, and carefully drafted documents.

A safer first step

No employer contact. No hidden agendas. No pressure to escalate. Just a structured, fixed-fee step to help you think and act more clearly.

Before You Speak Checklist

Avoid emotional wording and communicate more carefully when the situation is already sensitive.

Not sure if this is the right fit?

That is normal. Most crew who arrive here are not looking for a fight. They are looking for clarity.

“What if I’m wrong?”

That is exactly why the first step is structured review, not escalation. The goal is to understand the facts before reacting.

“I do not want legal fees yet.”

CrewRights is designed as a fixed-fee clarity and document-preparation step before you decide whether legal advice is even needed.

“I’m scared this could backfire.”

You stay in control. We do not contact employers or third parties, and we do not push you into legal action.

“I only want help understanding and drafting my next move.”

That is exactly what these packs are for.
