Empowering sailors and maritime professionals with honest salary information to make informed career decisions.
To create a more equitable maritime industry through salary transparency
For too long, maritime professionals have navigated their careers without clear visibility into fair compensation and working conditions. This information asymmetry has led to wage disparities, poor working environments, and missed opportunities for talented seafarers.
Sailor Pay was created to level the playing field by providing a platform where maritime professionals can anonymously share and access real information about salaries, work schedules, company culture, and onboard conditions across different positions, vessel types, and shipping companies.
Our goal is to empower every sailor, from deck cadets to master mariners, with the knowledge they need to negotiate fair compensation, choose employers with good working conditions, and advance their careers in a transparent industry.
Our platform is designed by maritime professionals who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in the shipping industry.
