Obtaining a reference for a candidate makes a lot of sense, especially in the yachting sector where standards of service are so subjective. There is a common misunderstanding among shoreside employers that they are only allowed to confirm dates of employment and role(s). This is incorrect. You may be obliged to provide one, and refences for captains and crew are commonly sought and given in any event. But care must be taken when providing them.
