Q: When does Yotspot Intelligence launch?

Yotspot Intelligence goes live in 2027 — first as a member benefit inside Yotspot, with an external tier for recruiters, management companies, brokers and analysts to follow. For early access, contact enquiries@yotspot.com.

Yotspot sees what no one else can: who is available, what employers are asking for, and how the two actually meet — live, from inside the marketplace 180,000+ professionals already use. Yotspot Intelligence turns that view into governed metrics, trends and an AI analyst that explains the market with evidence.

The unfair advantage

Three sides of a market nobody else can see at once.

Industry media see press releases. Generic AI sees the public internet. Yotspot observes the actual marketplace — from three proprietary angles simultaneously.

Crew supply

Who exists, and when they're free.

Desired roles, availability, location, experience, qualifications, skills and profile activity — confidence-scored so stale profiles never masquerade as live supply.

Employer demand

What the market is asking for.

Jobs, role requirements, vessel context, contract types, preferred candidate criteria — the demand side, as it is actually posted, not as it is rumoured.

Market interaction

How supply and demand actually meet.

Applications, match quality, shortlists and outcomes — including the mismatches. This is the layer no directory, media outlet or model can reconstruct.

What it answers

Questions the industry argues about. Answered with data.

Which positions are hardest to recruit right now? Is the crew market tightening or loosening? Where are available, qualified Chief Engineers concentrated? Which qualifications are employers demanding more of? Which jobs attract many applicants but few suitable ones? What changed in the last 30 days?

Why the numbers can be trusted

Governed metrics. The AI explains — it never invents.

One metric registry

Every number has one approved definition, calculation, source and caveat list. No two dashboards disagree.

AI on rails

Ask Intelligence plans queries against approved endpoints, receives structured evidence, and writes the narrative. Backend functions own the arithmetic.

Confidence-scored supply

180K registered profiles ≠ 180K available crew. Supply counts use recency and completeness scoring, with the methodology published.

Reads the market. Never touches a person.

Intelligence works on an anonymised copy of marketplace activity — it can't see, act on or affect any individual profile, application or hire. All of that stays on Yotspot. CVs, photos and identity never enter the analytics store.

Live in 2027

The foundations come first. Before any dashboard launches, the programme's first deliverable is preservation: capturing the marketplace's full history — every role, every posting, every outcome — permanently, so that launch-day metrics arrive with genuine depth behind them.

Intelligence launches first as a member benefit inside Yotspot. The external tier — for recruiters, management companies, brokers, underwriters and analysts — follows once the metrics have earned trust.

Questions

Answers before launch.

What is Yotspot Intelligence?

A market-intelligence platform for superyacht employment: crew supply, employer demand, salaries, careers and retention — measured from live activity on the Yotspot jobs marketplace rather than surveys or press releases.

When does Yotspot Intelligence launch?

Yotspot Intelligence goes live in 2027 — first as a member benefit inside Yotspot, with an external tier for recruiters, management companies, brokers and analysts to follow. For early access, contact enquiries@yotspot.com.

Where does the data come from?

From the Yotspot jobs marketplace — 180,000+ registered yachting and shore-based professionals, from deckhands and stewardesses to captains, chief engineers and estate roles, together with the jobs employers post and how the two meet. Every figure on this site today is synthetic demonstration data.

Is individual crew data visible?

No. Yotspot Intelligence is aggregate-only by design: no individual profiles, no personal data in any published metric, and minimum sample sizes throughout. It reads the market — it never exposes a person.

Who is Yotspot Intelligence for?

Crew planning their careers, employers benchmarking pay and hiring, and the wider industry — recruiters, training providers, management companies, brokers, underwriters, analysts and press.
