* [http://crewbay.com CrewBay] has much fewer boats than Find a Crew, but is super easy to use with very simple search options and you can share and see most contact details for free. It does have some premium paid features (only £1.63/week subscription), but you can easily get by without them. It's the best crew site to get going quickly. [[User:Treefrog]] found a boat from Florida to Panama this way, and his crewmates also found the boat using free CrewBay accounts.

* [http://findacrew.net Find a Crew] is by far the largest website for finding crew and boats, but very difficult to use with complex, unnecessary search options and very expensive if you want to become Premium (starting at AUD75 for 30 days only, less if you pay for a longer period in advance but why would anyone want to do that). As a free member you can't do anything then "wave" to captains - if they have a paid account, they can then start a message conversation with you; if they have a free account like you, they can wave back with a "yes", "maybe", or "decline" but not message you. The site also provides some ways for captains in search of crew to find you, but unless you have sailing experience or the captain is attracted to you, this is probably a very long shot ([[User:Treefrog|Treefrog]] had no luck with this after several months with a free account).
* [http://crewseekers.net Crewseekers.net] is the oldest crew site of them all with many boats as they don't have to pay to register or use the site, but there is a fee for crew to register to make sure they are committed to finding a boat.
