* [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, and some even as a visitorusers have found that its simplicity makes it easier to use than other sites. It does have some premium paid features (only £1.63/week subscription), but you can easily get by without themif you need to. Crewbay is by far probably the best crew site if you're looking to get going quickly find boats for hitchhikers and professional crew alikefree or without spending very much. [[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™Crew] is by far the largest website for finding crew and boats around the world, but very difficult and maybe your best chance to use with complex, unnecessary search options and very expensive find a boat quickly if you want to become Premium can afford it (starting at AUD75 for 30 days only, less if you pay for a longer period in advance, down to AUD28/month if you pay for one a year but why would anyone want in advance). Some users have found it a little overly complex or difficult to use, as it has lot of different features and very detailed profiles (with exact locations and contact details hidden to do thatfree members). As a free member you can't do anything then contact captains unless by "wavewaving" to captains them - 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 reply with a "yes", "maybe", or "decline" message but no additional text. The site also provides does provide some ways for captains in search of crew to find you, but unless you have sailing experience a competitive resume or the captain is attracted has some other reason to be interested in youspecifically, this is probably a very long shot . A lot of members also pay to have their Personal Identity Verified (PIV) and many of them don't allow you to contact them unless you verified your identity too. ([[User:Treefrog|Treefrog]] had no luck with this finding a boat after several months with a free account, but it seemed like there were a lot of possibilities for paid members.).
