Either check out websites like Findacrew.net , Facebook groups along the lines of World Sailing Hitchhikers & Crew Connection, Sailing Crew Finders Whole World, Atlantic crossing - East to West 2026/2027, or do it the old fashioned way by making your way to the Canary Islands - the choke point for the crossing - and asking captains directly.

⭐️The Average Week Of A Kids Rep
An average week could see you hosting three welcome meetings, selling excursions (a big supplement to your income), the odd trip to a doctor or hospital, says Lucy Corne, who once worked four months in Gran Canaria as a children’s rep.
Or you could be leading the way on an all night bar crawl, dancing in front of hundreds at the reps’ cabaret, guiding a boat trip or camel trek and dealing with a host of problems and complaints. You’re seen as a shoulder to cry on, a target for abuse, a saviour and a friend.
She says she would personally recommend being a kids’ rep – you have marginally fewer hours, slightly more pay (although less chance to top it up with sales) and the reward of a group of smiling children (of course, not good if you don’t like kids!). One night, when she close to leaving the job early having had the worst week ever, she was moping about at cabaret night, desperately trying not to cry when seven year old Daniel asked her to dance and said he would miss her once he’d gone home.
Pay: Not much.
Accommodation: Is included, so you have no bills to pay. Expect to live in a reasonable self catered holiday apartment – no five star hotels.
Other perks: Flights are also included, as is a transfer and allegedly an airport welcome! Cheap or, if you’re lucky, free drinks in local bars, free entrance to clubs. By far the greatest perk is walking around in your uniform and being left alone by those annoying folk who give out flyers for clubs and bars!
