Built by Cruisers, for Cruisers
At Sinbad Maritime Services, we’re not just another maritime company—we’re liveaboards and cruisers ourselves. We know what your vessel means to you. It’s more than fiberglass and teak; it’s your home, your freedom, and your passage to the next horizon. That’s exactly why we created Sinbad Captain Services—to make finding and hiring trusted captains transparent, reliable, and easy.
For too long, the captain-for-hire process has been built on the old “I know a guy” network. While word-of-mouth has its place, it often leaves boat owners guessing about a captain’s experience, reliability, and credentials. We knew it could be done better.
A Smarter Way to Find Your Captain
Sinbad’s web app allows you to search for captains based on your specific needs—whether you’re looking for private sailing lessons, help with a haul-out, or someone to command your vessel while it’s stationed in the Bahamas for cruising season. Every captain profile includes detailed experience, service areas, and verified reviews, so you’ll know exactly who will be piloting your vessel before you ever hand over the helm.
Need a captain to move your vessel for a sale or in response to an unforeseen event? We’ve got you covered there, too. From day trips to delivery contracts, Sinbad Captains are available for hourly, daily, or long-term hire.
Transparency and Trust at the Helm
Each captain’s profile lists their credentials, hourly and daily rates, and any personal insurance they carry. For those who require it, insurance information is clearly displayed, and you’ll have access to the captain’s CV and vessel experience—perfect for providing documentation to your insurance company.
And if you operate a charter company, Sinbad makes it easy to find experienced captains to run training programs, off-season courses, or special events.
Why Sinbad?
Because we’re boaters, too. We’ve experienced the frustrations of unreliable recommendations and vague arrangements. Sinbad was built to bring professionalism, accountability, and ease to he captain-hiring process—so you can spend more time enjoying the journey, and less time worrying about who’s at the wheel.
