Here are some other options, depending on the context:
* Ship's company: This emphasizes the unity and teamwork of the sailors.
* Company: A more general term for a group of people, but can also be used for seamen.
* Watch: A group of sailors working a particular shift.
* Hand: A somewhat informal term for a sailor, especially a member of the lower deck.
The best choice will depend on the specific situation and what you want to emphasize.
