Everything you need to step into new roles with confidence.

With the yachting industry rapidly growing and evolving, flexible training is becoming essential.

As long-time yachting professionals, we understand what it’s like to build a career in luxury hospitality. And we know how lonely it can feel when you’re building your career on your own.

TYS Team has more than 20 years of experience working within all aspects of the Interior on Private & Charter yachts from 35m to 100m.

That’s why we’ve created a fully-accredited, flexible, remote-learning program for yachting professionals of all levels.

Whether you are a junior stewardess or the chief stew, our courses will help you build your dream career.

And best of all, our community will be there to support you and cheer you on every step of the way.

Love,

The Yacht Stew Team

Hi Gemma, Thank you so much for the zoom call today; it's such an enjoyable part of the course. I got full clarification on feedback, could ask questions and gain more insight into leading a department successfully.I would highly recommend the course to anyone who needs that extra push and confidence boost before stepping up or starting a new role. I also love how the course is always available to you upon completion, so you can also go back for reference if needed. Plus, Gemma is lovely and is thorough in her work; I can trust that I am learning from one of the best (albeit virtually!)

I greatly enjoyed the course, I found it full of useful and new information. I loved the mixture of reading, download and video material, it made for an easy and interesting study. Having the quizzes at the end of each module pushed me to remember the information I was writing down and is an effective way to raise the study level. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to feel confident starting out behind the bar learning some key skills, methods and setting you up well to grow as a mixologist!
