What is 360Marlins?
360Marlins is a guide and advisor platform for anyone who wants to work on cruise ships or cargo ships — everything you need to know in one place, from the day you first get curious to the day you board.
The platform is built by a team with real maritime industry experience — more than 10 years both as seafarers and in maritime recruitment, having helped place over 4,000 Thai crew on ships worldwide.
What we saw over and over: people with real talent and determination missing opportunities because information was scattered, they didn't know what to prepare, and nobody told them the right steps.
360Marlins exists to organize all of it — step-by-step guides, career and salary data, and a full Marlins question bank to practice until you're confident, at a price everyone can afford.

“Most people who miss the chance to work on ships don't fail because they lack ability — they fail because nobody told them the right steps.”

Our Mission
“To give everyone who wants to work at sea access to accurate, complete information at a fair price — from the first day you dream about it to the day you step on board.”
How We Work
An Advisor, Not an Agent
We don't recruit crew ourselves. We give you complete information so you can decide for yourself, and we always point you to licensed manning agencies.
Real Information, No Hype
We tell you the pros, the cons, and the real costs of every path. No fear-selling — just honest advice, like a senior crew member talking to a friend.
Pay Once, Lifetime Access
No monthly fees, no hidden costs, and continuous content updates. Good information shouldn't be expensive.
Have Questions? Just Ask
Our team answers every question — whether you're just curious or already preparing for the test.
