  • I just don't know...
    It’s expensive and you probably just had a big weekend, or you’ve got no one to go with, maybe you don’t know if you’ll be busy that weekend, you’ll jump on the next one when you’ve saved up, possibly they’re too high energy, and they’re not my people. Mate, I know them all and that's because I’ve said and used them all before. What I also know is that any time I’ve had a weekend away, doing something completely unique with like-minded people, sharing laughs, experiences, emotions, and drinks I’ve talked about it for months and when we get back together we always say “let’s do that again!” When do you hear a quote from a 100-year-old saying in their slow, frail tonalities “I’m glad I never went on that damn trip with that wild bunch”. All they say is they wish they dedicated more time to experiences with other people. After all, yachties are pack animals, so let's get wild together!
  • What's different about these Escapes?
    As yachties, we know what yachties want, top-class service and product. We’re not here to half-ass it. From dancing all night to sweating a workout the next day, we love to live a balanced life and give everything 723%. We're not here for one or the other, we’re here to detox and then retox. Our workouts are electric, spilling over with enthusiasm and a collaborative team environment where one in, means all in. But we don’t stop there, we’re yachties, we’re young, the days are short and life moves fast. Our daily adventures are tailored to bring you closer to your new friends that will feel like family. But after all this, you need to fuel the temple that is your body. We’re used to a private chef (at least that’s what I tell everyone I have), so we’re bringing in local chefs to spin pizza, hang pasta and give you the taste of the local life. Welcome to the yachtie life re-imagined, you deserve it.
  • What if I can't book with anyone I know?
    EXCELLENT! This is the best situation you can be in. Yeah bringing a mate is class but the way you can get the most out of these Escapes and be your best, most free self is with no attachments to your workmates and work life, so you can be your most unleashed personality. As for making you feel at home and comfortable, this is the part of the business we do the best. It’s your turn to get the guest treatment.
  • How fit do I need to be?
    Have you scrubbed teak? Lifted a mattress? Lifted your CV? Then you’re fit enough! We’re here to push YOUR comfort zone, not someone else's. While not mandatory, our workouts are highly recommended, especially because of the positive collaborative and bonding effects they’ll bring you. That said, we are also highly adaptable and can make any workout fit all levels whether this is your first fitness session or you’re Chris Hemsworth training for Thor, we’ve got you covered.
  • What's the alcohol culture?
    We’re yachties and boy do we manage to pull off this eclectic balanced lifestyle of work and play like no one else I’ve ever come across. But, this is your trip and it’s your choice and if you don’t want to drink, for whatever reason, that’s up to you. If you want to let us know beforehand on your preference sheet, or in the middle of the trip, just holla and we’ll be able to help you out.
  • What happens when I book an LAFC Escape?
    We’re linking you up! We’ve got a private chat on Discord dedicated to each Escape so you can ask questions, get escape-related updates, and connect with others who will be on the escape beforehand. We’ll also be sending you a preference sheet. We all know how annoying it is when a guest doesn’t fill theirs out so make sure you fill yours out in detail so we can best tailor the experience to YOU! We’ll also be emailing you a form of what to expect and what to bring. Don’t worry, we’re going to be chatting all over! If somehow you’re not sick of us and have any questions, feel free to reach out to us in Discord or email us at hello@lostandfoundcrew.com
  • Do I need travel insurance for an Escape?
    Yes, we highly recommend that you get travel insurance for both your own medical cover and one with a trip cancellation policy to cover any unforeseen trip cancellations that can be out of our control. With no affiliation one we like is called World Nomads. But highly recommend you check for yourself that the one you choose has trip cancellation.
  • Cancellation Policy
    We don’t provide cash refunds, but if you let us know up to 30 days before your trip, we’ll allow you to put your balance towards another escape for up to one year from the booking date. We’re happy to do this because our world is wild and unpredictable now more than ever, and we need to help each other out. With that said, please be considerate that we pre-book and prepay for all of our stuff so it’s ready to run smoothly. So this transferable payment only applies if you can let us know 30 days prior to the trip's departure. We know how it is…sometimes you call in sick because you’re nervous, or shy, or these things can be overwhelming, I mean this is a big deal, we’re here to push your comfort zone, we want this to be a life changer for you, and that starts with showing up. So, if you’re thinking of making up an excuse, no worries, I’ve done it before too! Reach out to our warm team, we’d love to do everything we can to give you the confidence that we’re here for you and will make this epic adventure as easy as possible. Let's grow together! Again, we ALWAYS recommend that you get a travel insurance policy, like World Nomads, it’s easy, cheap and can protect you against any cancellation unknowns, sometimes even less than 30 days prior. Whatever company you choose, always read the trip cancellation part in detail for whichever policy you get.
  • COVID-19 Update
    A topic that was hot and, for some, still is. We take necessary precautions to make all our escapes a safe environment for all clients and staff alike. We don’t require a Covid vaccination or PCR test to come on our escapes, but please consider your health and the implications it may have on others if you’re feeling sick and come to an Escape and surround yourself with other people. Lastly, we ask that you please respect each other’s choices in regard to this matter, whatever they may be.

With the Crew Mess chat will have direct access to a united community of yachties! Yachties who want to connect, who want to get around new ideas and try different things, and yachties who are here to connect port to port so that you don’t have to rely on one set of mates.

As an LAFC Member, you’ll be able to help us dream up what this looks like and have exclusive access to stay here.
  • Why have you changed from an NFT to an annual membership?
    We set out to create a community of united yachties, and we thought an NFT was the best modern approach to make this a reality. However, after speaking with the community, we realized that, due to its complexity, the NFT was creating a barrier for people to join. So we decided to adjust our course, and provide everyone with an easier option using a standard paid annual membership model instead.
  • Why is Lost and Found Crew unique?
    This place of united yacht crew has been made by people in the industry, not some sterile yachting company. We’re in the trenches with you; we’re experiencing the daily life of a yachtie and talking with everyone in it. We’re listening to what continues to make us tick, where we want to go and how we want to grow in our lives, careers and beyond the boat! As founders, we live to create connections and our specialty is fostering them to flourish! Whether it’s going out to dinner and turning a family establishment into our playground, laughing so hard you spill your drink and can’t keep your food down, getting up the morning after and burning a workout with the crew, or escaping it all by organizing a weekend trip with mates from across the industry. We’re in this to connect people so you’ve got someone to share these new core memories with, your new family.
  • How do I chat with online members?
    Our online community is coming together through our Discord channel in the Crew Mess. This is where our community is talking, organising hangs, planning Escapes, and where we’ll be giving you all the latest information and updates on everything LAFC. Get involved to chat with other members and see where everyone is and what everyone’s up to in and around yachting hubs worldwide. Got an idea, or want to reach out? You’ll also have direct access to the three founders so look out for Selena, Louis, and Josh and come and hit us up!
  • I'm interested but...
    Why is there an annual membership fee? Isn’t this a community? We’ve seen many apps and websites try and fail because they use ineffective methods to get a community like this up and running. They create Facebook pages, websites, or apps, but people drift in and out without wanting to be involved in the community. The proof is in the pudding, it just doesn’t work this way. We have ambitious plans to create a new kind of community of yachties – like-minded yachties who become what we call, lifeline friends. These yachties support, inspire, challenge, and lift each other up in every way, so we’re all surrounded by people who make us feel like our best self, and help us make the absolute most of our time in the industry, no matter which boat we’re on or which port we’re at. Something like this takes work to build, and your membership allows us to bring you the people, experiences and lifestyle that are going to make this possible. Yeah, it costs money to be involved in this community. It’s proven that when you pay for something, you’re more committed to being part of it, and that’s precisely what we want to create. A community of dedicated yachties, not just someone who stands idly by. We want people that are all dedicated to being here and want to help this community grow into something that helps ignite the fire and connect these compatible people on a level that’s never before been experienced.
  • When can I get merch?
    Yeah, boat A/C is just way too cold, ay! So a fresh hoodie would be epic to show off! But at the moment, we’re only offering merch to our Escape goers. But don’t worry, you’ll know when it becomes available to everyone.
  • What's your cancellation policy?
    We get it: stuff changes, we don’t make the most of things, and we think, “man, I’m just straight up not using this”. If you decide to cancel your subscription for any reason, we don’t offer partial refunds, so it will come into effect at the end of your current payment period. That being said, because you’ll still be a member until the end of the payment period, we want to help you make the most of it and have our last interaction be a memorable one! Hit us up on Discord with a direct message. Let’s see what we can do to ensure you still leave with a smile on your dial! If you’re set up for auto-renewal and for some reason we’re unable to take the payment for fourteen days, we need to give everyone a chance, so we’re sorry, your position will become available to someone on the waiting list after fourteen days.
