Stand in Crew
Kate and Karma are experienced crew and are available if you need stand-in crew to assist onboard. Conveniently based onsite, Urban Sea can work onboard while your boat is here or if crew are on leave. A recent example of this service was when a chief stew became sick when the boat was ready to leave. Kate and Karma got the 60m vessel provisioned, took over stowing and stepped into laundry services. There is not much that the team can’t do.
