ABOUT



THE STEWARDESS CO.



The Stewardess Co. programme is a highly immersive Yacht Stewardess experience developed in line with international Superyacht standards, with a strong focus on student competency and practical training.

The Stewardess Co. is so much more than a training school for aspiring yacht stewardesses; it’s a highly specialised training programme that encourages young people to pursue their dreams and meet their goals. We firmly believe that every individual is unique; each person has their own unique qualities and skills, which we encourage them to develop and utilise in the yachting industry. We, therefore, take great pride in preparing all our students for the challenges and opportunities they encounter on this journey by equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to embark on their yachting careers.

By simulating real-life Superyacht situations, yacht Stewardess candidates get to truly understand the practical nature of their new role and the particular demands of the industry. We find that this approach empowers aspiring yacht crew to perform at their highest levels, leading to better work satisfaction and confidence. As a result, we have chosen to include course content covering entry-level, intermediate & advanced yacht stewardess topics that are easy to understand and highly practical in nature, not all of which are covered in our five-day courses but an essential “Yacht Bible” to help in anything you may encounter onboard.

At The Stewardess Co., we are not only training stewardesses, but we are also moulding and facilitating the future of the yachting industry. The Stewardess Co. fosters the belief in individuality, enabling every student to realise their true potential. If you happen to be an aspiring stewardess or someone who is deeply passionate about a career in the yachting world, we encourage you to join us on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Together, as a team, we can inspire the next generation to make their dreams become a reality in the exciting world of the yachting industry.
