Advanced Laundry Course

This 3 day Advanced Laundry course is a highly immersive and specialised training experience designed to develop advanced laundry knowledge and practical competency for aspiring and established Yacht Steward/esses.

 

Developed in alignment with international Superyacht standards and luxury hospitality expectations, it focuses on equipping students with the technical skills, confidence, and understanding required to deliver exceptional laundry and garment care onboard.
