MY Hasna – 73m Feadship

“Having worked with West Nautical Crew Recruitment for the past two years, they continue to send me CVs that match our preferred description, and I know every CV I receive the references and certificates have been checked. MY Hasna has had several crew members placed by West Nautical, both during our building process and after delivery, and all have been a good fit for the yacht. We have been more than happy with the service provided and highly recommend them to any other yacht seeking a new joiner, or a crew member looking for a new role.”
