C&F Yachting launches maritime awareness campaign

Sea Vision partner C&F Yachting Ltd, an online crewing agent for the Superyacht industry has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of the maritime sector to the UK economy.

C&F Yachting Ltd has announced the launch of a new campaign aimed at raising awareness of careers within the maritime industry, with particular attention being paid to the Superyacht sector. 

John-Paul Fitzgibbon, the Director of C&F Yachting said “The UK has regularly been noted as suffering from a case of ‘sea-blindness’ with respect to our maritime history, careers within the industry and the sheer importance of the maritime sector to the UK economy.  C&F Yachting, working alongside Sea Vision UK, would like to help remedy this”. 

The campaign aims to reach colleges and universities within the UK providing information of job opportunities within this sector as well as wider information on the importance of maritime trade to the economy of the UK.

C&F Yachting Ltd is an online crewing agent specialising in sourcing professional crew for the Superyacht industry. 

Paul Cameron, co-director of the company said “It is a very exciting time for this industry.  Although the global recession has seen a slight reduction in the number of large yacht hulls ordered there is still a requirement for crew to man the 4,000 or so luxury yachts in operation today.  Crewing a Superyacht is demanding work, however, the rewards more than make up for this.”
