Frequently asked questions
What is YOTCH?+
YOTCH is the first direct captain-to-crew hiring platform for yachting. Captains post positions and swipe through AI-ranked crew profiles. Crew upload a CV, get an AI-built profile, and go live in 60 seconds. No agency, no commission.
Is it free?+
YOTCH is free for captains and crew.
How does the AI scoring work?+
Our AI scores crew profiles 0–100 based on experience, certification completeness, vessel fit, response rate, and photo quality. The score helps captains find the best candidates faster. It's advisory — captains make all final decisions.
Can crew see which yachts are looking?+
No. Yacht names are hidden until a captain chooses to reveal their vessel by messaging or calling crew. This protects captain and vessel privacy.
How do captains verify their identity?+
Captains verify using their yacht email domain or vessel MMSI number. This ensures only legitimate captains and HoDs can access crew profiles.
How does messaging work?+
Captains can send in-app messages to flagged crew, or call them directly via WhatsApp deep link. Crew cannot message captains first — the captain always initiates.
Which ports does YOTCH cover?+
We're launching across the South of France — Antibes, Nice, Cannes, Golfe-Juan, and surrounding ports. With expansion to Palma, Barcelona, and the wider Med is on the cards.
