FairSeas by xplor
Because crew deserve a cut of the commission. FairSeas shares 50% of our net charter commission with active crew on yachts chartered through Xplor. No tiers. No secrets. Just fair.
50/50 Commission Split
Every eligible charter booked via Xplor triggers a 50/50 split of our net commission:
For Crew (shared equally among verified onboard crew)
For Xplor (operations, platform & brokerage)
What is FairSeas?
FairSeas is Xplor’s commission-sharing program designed for active crew on charter yachts. If your yacht is chartered through Xplor — as the central agent or a 3rd-party broker — we split 50% of our net commission equally among the verified crew on board.
Why FairSeas Exists
Crew help close deals, make guests return, and create unforgettable experiences — yet traditionally receive nothing from brokerage commission. That’s broken. FairSeas fixes it with transparent, fair compensation.
Traditional Model
- • Brokerages keep all commission
- • Crew get no financial recognition
- • Hidden fee structures
- • No transparency
FairSeas Model
- • 50% commission shared with crew
- • Recognition for real contribution
- • Complete transparency
- • Fair compensation system
“Crew aren’t just service providers — they’re the reason the charter succeeds. FairSeas puts that into action.”
— Capt. Johnny Drummond, Founder, Xplor

FairSeas Ratings (CRI+)
Tips aren’t always fair. That’s why we’re introducing an optional Crew Rating Index (CRI+) — an objective way to help distribute onboard bonuses.
Experience
Longevity, time in industry, verified sea miles.
Performance
Past tips, guest satisfaction, steady growth.
Qualifications
Role training, yacht size handled, certificates.
Higher ratings can earn a larger share in CRI+-based distributions. Fair, transparent, motivating.
Ratings Beyond the Crew
FairSeas also promotes transparency for owners, managers, and guests — because everyone benefits when accountability is clear.
Owners
Encourage fair crew treatment, timely payments, sound practices.
Guests
Reward respectful, generous charterers and repeat satisfaction.
Managers
Highlight companies with fair contracts and smooth ops.
Coming Soon: Sales Commissions
For yachts sold via Xplor, we’re building a way to reward crew with a portion of the sales commission. Behind every sale is a team that maintained, presented, and operated the yacht.
Your Work Deserves a Share of the Reward.
FairSeas was built to change how things are done in yachting — and you’re the reason we started it.
