About the course

You will have the choice between two complementary programmes designed to elevate leadership and performance onboard: a 1 Day Leadership Course and a 2 Day Leadership & Resilience Course. Together, they draw on UK Special Forces principles and adapt them to the unique challenges of the yachting industry. This course is exclusively available at the Yacht Club de Monaco. 

Both worlds rely on small, tight-knit teams working under intense pressure, where timelines are tight, expectations are high and the margin for error is minimal. In each, success depends on clear communication, trust, resilience and the ability to perform consistently, even when tired, stressed or facing the unexpected.

Participants work through short, engaging workshops and scenario based discussions that show what effective leadership looks like under pressure.

Designed specifically for senior superyacht crew, by focusing on the everyday realities of life onboard; tight timelines, demanding guests and high expectations, it gives crew the tools to lead calmly and professionally in that environment. This course is CPD accredited and awards 5 CPD credits upon successful completion.

The day is practical, accessible and designed for the managers and leaders, helping the crew to strengthen their mindset, manage stress and support the wellbeing of those around them.

The goal of the course is to ensure your team steps into the season feeling fully prepared, confident and ready to exceed the expectations of owners and guests. 

What will you learn?

You will learn how to set clear expectations, communicate with confidence and lead by example in a way that earns trust quickly. The course introduces simple frameworks for planning, decision making and prioritisation, allowing you to take control of demanding situations and guide others with clarity.

You will explore how to manage friction, give direction without micromanaging and bring your crew together when pressure or uncertainty rises. Throughout the day, you will practise these skills through discussions and short activities that build genuine confidence in your own leadership approach.

What will you learn? 

This course contains the one day Leadership course and includes an extra day where you will learn practical techniques for managing stress, preventing burnout and maintaining your composure when the pressure rises.

The course covers sleep, recovery, energy management and mental clarity, giving you a clear framework for looking after yourself throughout busy seasons. You will explore how to build resilience as a team, recognise when others are struggling and step in early with confident, calm support. Through guided discussions and simple, actionable tools, you will leave with strategies you can apply immediately, both for your own resilience and to help strengthen your wider crew.
