Our clients enjoy worry-free Pocket Superyacht ownership…


Crew selection
Unlike crew you find yourself through relations, portal sites or social media, our crews are very carefully selected using more than a decade of experience, specifically in Pocket Superyacht crew.
Unlike traditional crew agents, we have to work long term with our crew. We are invested in the success of the placement.
Having crewed these yachts full time for 5 years and freelance since 2010, I know what to look for in crew. I proudly add that the proof is my track record of the last 10 years.
Jens Oomes
As a consultant to both owners and crew, my team and I provide expertise and a professional structure for your yachting program.
I have worked full time on these yachts for 5 years after which I started Invisible Crew in 2010.
I saw how yacht owners -who had spent millions to add joy to their lives- were frustrated with the surprises and hassle that come with (crewed) yacht ownership.
Today I am the additional Invisible Crew member of about 10 yachts.
We refer to 50-100ft luxury yachts as Pocket Superyachts because both their owners and crew deserve to operate the yacht to Superyacht standards.
The unfortunate truth is that crew is traditionally the weakest link in enjoyable Pocket Superyacht ownership…
