“ We love working with ACREW! Their events are excellent, providing us with plenty of opportunities to network with captains and crew. They are also really engaged with their business members, taking the time to understand our company and promote it on their social media channels.

“ACREW finds innovative ways to bring the industry together. Their welcoming and inclusive nature is refreshing. They are easy to work with and everyone on the team is professional and responsive. I enjoy collaborating with the team with the goal of being a source of knowledge and opportunities for Crew. At MYS and PIBS, it is important for us to have a welcoming home base to network and schedule meetings with potential partners and customers. The ACREW Lounge has been the perfect place for this and has proven to be extremely valuable to our business development. Overall, I have been very pleased with the many ways ACREW has given us a platform to share our message with Crew and our business has grown because of it.”

Their exceptional service continues to impress me. Whether it’s B2C or B2B relationships, ACREW has consistently demonstrated its expertise and dedication to delivering events within yachting in various locations. We have sponsored events in shipyards and yacht shows over the years.
