The Crew Academy.
Industry-leading accredited training that makes an impact.
INDUSTRY-LEADING TRAINING
Pushing the boundaries of yachting education.
For 15 years, The Crew Academy has developed an ever-growing suite of 200+ yacht training courses which can be delivered on-line, in-person or on-board.
We pioneered the industry’s first Purser course over 16 years ago, we developed the first Command course in 2020, and in 2023 we launched the Yacht Owner’s Representative Program.
We are continuing to develop groundbreaking new courses that are shaping a better industry for everyone.
