what you will learn ?​

You can engage with the programme in two ways. Crew may attend a 1 Day Leadership Course as a standalone option, focused purely on practical leadership using UK Special Forces methodologies and decision-making mindsets. Alternatively, crews can attend both days, completing the Leadership Course and progressing into a second day of Resilience training, that provides a framework to help crew thrive under the pressures of life onboard. Both the Special Forces and the Superyacht world 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 per day of training 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.
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.
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.
