Leadership & Management Course

Managing people is probably the hardest part of being a leader. Driving the boat is easy, but people are like the wind, you never know what you are going to get!

As yachts and their crews have increased in size over recent years, the demands on the leader to manage people and balance priorities has significantly increased. Being a great Captain or Chief Officer is no longer enough, you also have to be project manager, liaison officer, team motivator and social worker all rolled into one!

The close proximity and intensity of the working environment has significant impact on performance, crew morale and crew retention. From our crew turnover survey, it was revealed that 64% of junior crew left as a direct result of the leadership they experienced.

This course can be tailored to you and your yacht, ideally 2 days, however, we are flexible! Bringing all the senior crew together to discuss the challenges of managing your crew is an invaluable experience and you will gain hints and tips to effectively manage crew.
