Using your skills where it matters most

Connecting the yachting industry with humanitarian projects around the world.

We start by matching yacht crew seeking more meaningful ways to spend their time off with non-profit organisations in need of skilled volunteers.

The result?

A lasting, positive impact on communities in need and on the yachting industry.

Crew stories
Crew stories
“As a yacht engineer, there are so many transferable skills. Having that troubleshooting, problem-solving mindset has been really helpful in Morocco.”
Morgs
Engineer M/Y Sanam
“We needed volunteers who quickly understood the brief, adapted to the environment, connected with the community and got stuck in. And that’s what we got.”
Martijn
Movement On The Ground
“I’m enjoying having no idea what the locals are saying but we’re getting along and together we’re producing something pretty good.”
Logan
Lead deckhand, M/Y Sanam
