About — Carib Trade Directory
Our Story

The Caribbean's marine network — organised, verified, one message away.

Carib Trade Directory exists to solve one problem: finding a trusted marine professional shouldn't depend on who you happen to know.

From Simpson Bay Lagoon to St Barths and across the whole Caribbean, superyachts depend on a fragile web of trusted specialists. We turned that web into a directory.

Anyone who has worked these islands knows how it really runs: on trust, referrals, captains' little black books and a dozen overlapping WhatsApp groups. When it works, it's magic. When it doesn't, you're new to an island, your usual contact is booked solid, and the owner lands in three days.

That gap — between the professionals who do brilliant work and the crews who urgently need them — is expensive. A missed charter, a failed survey, a rushed job by the wrong hands: reputation and money both take the hit. The talent was always here. What was missing was a trusted, searchable way to find it.

Why we built it

Carib Trade Directory takes the network captains already rely on and makes it work for everyone — searchable by island and trade, with every professional verified before they earn their badge. No cold guesswork, no chasing dead numbers, no wondering whether someone is the real thing.

We're not a middleman and we don't take a cut of anyone's work. Members find each other and talk directly over WhatsApp — the way business already gets done here. We just make sure the right people can find each other, fast.

"It's 6pm, the owner arrives Friday, and the AC just died in Simpson Bay. Who do you call?"
That question is the whole reason this directory exists.

How it works

Trades, engineers and captains list their business and get in front of the crews actively looking for their skills. Yachts and crew search the directory, filter to their island and trade, and reach a verified professional in a single tap. Both sides can get started in minutes.

What we stand for

Built on the industry's own rules

Verified, not vague

Every listing is vetted before it goes live. A Verified badge means a real professional, not a placeholder.

Direct, no middleman

Members contact each other straight over WhatsApp. We take no commission on any job — ever.
