Overview

Safe Sail is a specialist crew vetting and risk consultancy supporting the superyacht industry, family offices and associated professional service providers. Our primary focus is intelligence-led crew vetting, helping yacht managers, employment service providers and owners identify integrity, reputational and professional risks at key hiring stages.

Our methodology integrates investigative tradecraft with advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT), social media intelligence (SOCMINT), corporate registry analysis, global compliance data sources and a trusted network of in-country investigators, developing a structured, context-driven understanding of potential risk exposure. This multi-layered approach supports informed hiring decisions and demonstrates robust due diligence aligned with international compliance expectations, including AML and KYC standards where applicable.

Enhanced crew vetting reports are designed to provide relevant context rather than simple pass/fail outcomes, enabling proportionate and defensible decision-making.

Safe Sail also provides client onboarding due diligence and source of wealth intelligence, as well as broader investigative support where reputational, financial or operational risks may arise.

Safe Sail works with a growing network of yacht managers, recruiters and professional service providers across multiple jurisdictions, contributing to more consistent vetting standards and supporting greater transparency and professionalism across the superyacht industry.
