Dockwalk.com is the leading website for superyacht captains and crew, and the perfect complement to the magazine. Through a combination of compelling content, essential resources and social networking features it has become the number one online destination for this itinerant community.
The majority of the content on the site is “user-generated.” The forum is one of the most active in the industry, with members discussing all manner of topics of interest to them. Members can post blogs, photos and videos, and we publish news and regular online features.
We launched a careers section in March 2009, which has proven to be extremely popular. Members can view the latest jobs available (posted by crew agents and other members), and browse upcoming training courses from the leading training schools around the world.
The site has a variety of social networking features, allowing captains and crew to keep
in touch with their friends and colleagues around the world. There is also an interactive
database of more than 550 superyacht marinas, and a digital version of the magazine,
allowing crew to read it wherever they happen to be.
