Learn more about our yacht leadership training and discover our Top Five Essential Habits that all yacht leaders need

What is yacht leadership training?
Our yacht leadership training is a structured program designed to equip Captains and senior crew with the skills, knowledge, and tools necessary to lead yacht crew effectively and with confidence.
It typically covers areas such as yacht crew communication, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and managing performance, providing crew members with practical techniques to handle onboard challenges.
The goal is to develop well-rounded leaders who are capable of motivating and inspiring crew, improving performance, and creating amazing guest experiences within a healthy living and working culture onboard.
How will leadership training benefit your yacht crew?
Beyond improving individual leadership skills, yacht leadership training has a significant impact on operational success and the crew's ability to deliver the owner's dreams.
As yacht leaders grow in their on-board roles, they create a more engaged and productive crew, fostering innovation and collaboration. Our training also helps build a strong leadership pipeline within the existing crew, ensuring that future yacht leaders are prepared to step into key roles as the opportunities arise within the dynamic crew cycle.
In a rapidly changing world, yacht leadership training is essential for ensuring that leaders are not only equipped to deliver exceptional guest experiences and safe sea passage but are also prepared to lead their crew into the future with confidence, empathy and a clear vision.


Who is yacht leadership training for?
Yacht leadership training is for anybody within your yacht crew with a responsibility to lead an individual or team, be it a Captain, Chief Officer, Chief Engineer, Chief Steward/Stewardess, Head Chef, Purser or anyone who is looking forward and aspires to lead.
​
Great leadership is important in any organisation but in yachting, where you live at work, it is the difference between having one of the best jobs on the planet, having amazing adventures with a wonderfully diverse group of people, or having the most challenging job on the earth.
What are the five essential habits all good yacht leaders need?
​
-
Clear communication - including facing all those difficult, but essential, crew conversations skillfully.
-
Great self-awareness - your strengths, your areas for growth, the weather you bring to the decks, corridors, the crew mess and all the conversations you have every day on board.
-
Emotional intelligence - not just understanding your own emotions but being able to control them, then learning how to read emotions in your crew and effectively manage them.
-
Conflict resolution – creating a culture where conflict is minimal and making sure every crew member is clear on their role and responsibility in contributing to that culture.
-
Managing performance - this is all about a well-articulated vision where expectations are clear, a cadence of accountability exists and the quality of deep, trusting relationships that have been developed.
