Quarterdeck Life Ltd

QD began as a reactive business to the growing sailing tourism sector and the boom in leisure sailing for young professionals in a flotilla style event. With the number of companies and charter weeks rapidly growing there was a void of skipper services in this market that needed to be filled. There is a significant absence of a clear market leader. The seamless year round work moves from the Mediterranean and Caribbean creating a year round demand and volume of sales. QD matches specifically skilled workers with clients all over the world, saving business time and money, while providing top class, skilled and professional services with minimal risk. The current service providers and crew finders are predominantly targeted towards the supply of the superyacht industry. This is a more attractive business based on the high salaries and therefore high commission payouts. QD has targeted its market based on volume. The mass search databases offer a service based upon a peer-to-peer search. This passive method of recruitment relies on both parties contacting each other. QD offers a proactive approach to match the needs of the client with the best service for the specific job. This tailored and specialised crew management service will fulfil crew demands for specific flotilla seasons and crew services, with a commission charge per service provided. These services will include Skippers, Hostesses, Engineers, Yacht deliveries, Ground event management and Training Instructors. With our pre existing database it will allow us to cover all of these services immediately.
