Services

The Purser Desk exists to help captains, pursers, and yacht leaders break out of beige, burn down the outdated, and build operations that actually work — brilliantly.

Title

We support yachts that take their operations seriously, and for the professionals who want support that meets their standard (not the other way around).

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU:

CREW OPERATIONS

People, paperwork, precision.
From onboarding and certifications to leave tracking, scheduling, and logistics — we take care of the behind-the-scenes admin so your crew can focus on the job at hand.

TRAVEL & LOGISTICS

Smooth journeys start with smart planning.
We coordinate flights, transfers, and crew logistics with clear comms, sharp timing, and attention to detail — so movements stay seamless, even when schedules don’t.

FINANCIAL

Numbers tell the story — we make sure it’s one worth reading. From streamlined invoicing to polished reconciliations, we handle the financial admin with precision, clarity, and calm.

CONCEIRGE SERVICES

Ahead of the Game. Wherever You Are.
Before your guests even step ashore, we’ve already liaised, confirmed, coordinated, walked the path, checked the table and shaken the hands— virtually. Think of us as your eyes and ears on the ground, minus the travel time. Consider the groundwork done —  discreetly, thoroughly, and with your standards front of mind.

SHORESIDE LIAISONS

Well-connected, well-organised.
We manage communications with shoreside contacts — agents, ports, couriers, suppliers — ensuring everything lands where and when it should, without the onboard noise.

BESPOKE SUPPORT

Your Yacht. Your Way.
Need something more tailored? We shape support around your operational style — and slot into your workflow with minimal friction. Support that fits your systems, not the other way around

ADDITIONAl / à LA CARTE SERVICES

Document Polish & Presentation Formatting

Crew letters, official docs, guest preference sheets — cleaned up, branded, and delivered like someone actually cares what they look like.

Operational Deep Dive

Need an extra set of eyes? We’ll review your current systems, workflows, or documentation and offer streamlined, practical feedback — purser to purser.

TAKE IT

fROM THEm

“10/10 I would work with The Purser Desk again. They were so on it - start to finish."

“Got the job done well and great to work with. Highly reccommend”

“Fantastic to work with!" 

"I'm so glad I found then in the vast wasteland that is the internet. Truly great."

"If your overwhelmed with the Purser admin - this is your answer!"

We can take care of the bookings and last minute changes — just like we’ve done for other yachts who’d rather focus on operations than airport admin.

Need a hand with crew flights?

Let us take care of crew contracts and onboarding forms, so everything’s in order (and no one’s chasing SEA signatures last minute).

Crew contracts still unsigned?

We’ll keep invoices organised and up to date — systematically named, easily trackable and where they should be ready for payment. 

Falling behind on invoices?

We can create everything from checklists to detailed manuals — giving yachts ready-to-go resources and saving hours in setup.

No time for templates or SOPs?

TAKE A LOAD OFF

WE'll just say it

YOU'RE ALREADY DOING TOO MUCH

Most shoreside solutions miss the mark — too slow, too rigid, or too removed from the realities of superyacht logistics. You need someone who understands the pace, the pressure, and the detail it takes to make things run seamlessly. That’s where we come in.

From day-to-day logistics to the details no one else wants to touch, we slot into your systems and elevate the way your yacht runs behind the scenes. Whether it’s seasonal chaos or standard operations, we move in sync with how life onboard actually works. Because this isn’t textbook — it’s yachting, and we get it.

Fewer late-night texts. Fewer missing docs. Fewer moments of “who’s meant to handle that?” We help you show up like the capable, composed professional you already are — just with more breathing room, and a stronger system backing you.
