OSRS How to Get Crewmates Back (Sailing)

© gamerblurb.com | Published on 11/23/2025 at 11:54 PM CST (USA)

When you’re sailing in OSRS, crewmates are key to running your ship efficiently. But after dismissing one for a trial or activity like the Barracuda event, figuring out how to get them back can be confusing.

How to Get Crewmates Back

Once you’ve dismissed a crewmate, they’re not gone forever. You can reassign them through the main crew management system in The Pandemonium.

  • Travel to The Pandemonium, the central Sailing hub.

  • Find the Crew Registrar NPC near the docks or main building.

  • Right-click and select Manage Crew.

  • Any previously hired crewmates will appear in this menu, ready to reassign to your ship.

If you dismissed a crewmate during a Barracuda Trial or similar activity, just finish the event, return to port, and reopen the crew interface through the same NPC. You’ll see them listed and can add them back instantly.

How to Dismiss Crewmates

You can dismiss crewmates from the same Manage Crew interface.
Alternatively, during specific training activities or trials, instructors may prompt you to release one directly — pressing the spacebar through dialogue sometimes triggers the dismissal automatically.

Sailor’s Amulet Notes

The Sailor’s Amulet is worth the grind because it allows faster access to The Pandemonium and your crew interface from anywhere. It’s a time-saver for anyone managing multiple ships or experimenting with crew loadouts.

Final Blurb

Crewmates are never truly lost at sea, just waiting back at port. As Sailing expands, crew management will likely gain more features, but for now, your best bet is always The Pandemonium’s registrar. Keep your amulet handy and your ship’s roster full.

FAQ

Where do I get new crewmates?

Why can’t I open the crew interface anywhere else?
