What Our Students Say

“I have been on a Superyacht for six months and I absolutely love it! The crew is great and the owners are wonderful. We left Florida two weeks ago and we are on a three month trip over to California! We made a stop in Cuba and the owners invited all of the crew to go on day trips with the guests to sight see! Now we are in the Cayman Islands. From here we head through the Panama Canal and then we go to Panama City, Papagallo Peninsula Costa Rica then Cabo San Lucas, before we end up to Southern California. This is such a great experience for me. I do stewardess work, cook for crew and guests, handle lines when docking and leaving as well as watch shifts while we’re underway. I just wanted to say thanks again for all the valuable training I received in my classes! Thank you!”

Jessica Benway – Stewardess

“I am so excited!!! I went for my first interview yesterday afternoon at an agency and got a call from them later on advising that they’d put me forward for a 2nd stewardess position and to expect a call from the captain. He rang this morning and we met at Starbucks and… they are flying me up on Friday! It’s happened so fast, but it felt right. The yacht is currently in Norfolk, Virginia and we will be heading out very soon to spend the season in New England. The captain was really laid back and very forthcoming. Apparently the yacht is privately owned by a wealthy guy (obviously) and isn’t chartered out very often. Mostly they do cocktail parties. He thinks we will be in the Mediterranean next year although he is waiting on confirmation from the owner. The pace on the yacht seems very relaxed. It will be a great place for me to learn as much as possible. I am so keen to get started. Thank you!”

Carlie – Stewardess

“Everything is going GREAT for me over here! We have travelled from Fort Lauderdale all the way along the East Coast up to Labrador, Canada over 4000 miles so far. My roster is split so I spend the first part of the day as a deckhand and the second part of the day as the second stewardess onboard a 154 foot SuperYacht. The owners are fantastic. I really enjoyed the interior crew course and feel so much more prepared for my stewardess role.”

Katie Ford – Stewardess and Deckhand

“I was totally impressed by the STCW training I received at the Superyacht Crew Academy. The instructors were excellent, the equipment top notch, and I truly feel confident that I would perform well in the case of an emergency aboard ship. Thank you Chris and Deb for being so helpful to me. As a foreign student coming to Australia for this training, your kindness was extra meaningful. I am now a Superyacht Agent in Noumea and spend a lot of time aboard superyachts. Even though I am not a member of the crews, my STCW training is right there in the back of my mind just in case there was an emergency; especially when refuelling, helping resupply the medical equipment or moving heavy equipment on and off the superyachts.”

Chloe Morin – Super yacht Agent Noumea Ocean Services

“You are by far the most professional and successful training facility that I have dealt with around the world. Keep up the amazing work!”

Nick Smith – Chief Officer M/Y Akula

“A big thank you for your professionalism to all people from the Superyacht Crew Academy. Your team really made this experience unforgettable.”

Laurent Dreyer – Fastrack Graduate

“My experience with Superyacht Crew Academy was amazing. I had a fantastic time on the deck crew course and learnt a lot more than I expected.”

Tom Armstrong – Deckhand

“In my first interview I got offered a job! I really liked the chief stewardess so I am on a 43m private Superyacht for the season. I have been on the boat for two weeks and so far all is going well. I am looking forward to a good season and I will be home for Christmas. Two other people who did the course with me, Emily and Adam also got jobs very easily! Thank you again for all of your support and giving us a great head start!”

Ashtyn Leary – Stewardess

“The instructors were excellent, very professional and thorough. My training at Superyacht Crew Academy made my job as stewardess aboard the Tango possible and enjoyable. It really helps to have the inside story from experts before you begin. I’m happy to recommend the Superyacht Crew Academy to anyone interested in working in this industry.”

Haley – Stewardess M/Y Tango

“I just wanted to say thank you to the staff at Superyacht Crew Academy. I am currently working on a 43m M/Y Eclipse which is situated in Israel during the winter and the Mediterranean in the summer. I am heading into my third week here, now crossing to Genoa, Italy for the boat show. I am a 3rd stewardess and loving it. We are now in Kotor in Montenegro near Croatia and it is absolutely stunning. I am loving my job and have been lucky enough to rotate with duties and will be doing service this week, in a few hours actually. Thank you for all your help!”

Lauren A – Stewardess

” I thought I would give you a quick update on my adventures. I’ve just finished a cruise on an expedition vessel and am back in Antibes looking for a new position as a stewardess. Thank you for the casual work experience I did while completing my interior course. It’s definitely a lot better now that I have the right qualifications and some experience. I’m finding that there is so much more available to me.”

Natasha Harris – Stewardess

“Thank you for all the help and support that you gave me when i was studying with you. it was amazing and I will no doubt be visiting again hopefully at the end of next year when I come to do my Yacht Master OffShore. The Boat has offered me an awesome opportunity to learn all there is to learn as well as an awesome salary, benefits, and program. Not to mention the crew are a happy bunch of people and we are like a large family…. I have learned that the crew makes the boat and that is the main thing, not the salary, benefits or program!”

Joshua McCouat – Deckhand

Chloe James – Charter Management/Crew Placement

Chloe turned her passion and love for the ocean into a dedicated career in the marine industry. From islands on the Great Barrier Reef to the Mediterranean & Galapagos Islands, Chloe’s extensive time spent onboard a broad range of yachts makes her well-able to understand the needs of each and every crew member.

After returning to Australia, Chloe worked closely with a yacht agency in Sydney, followed by a year of freelancing on many charter boats along the east coast of Queensland, so she is familiar with the many vessels that frequent our waters and all crew requirements.

Chloe has been looking after crew for over 5 years now and has built some great relationships with owners, captains & crew!

• Will Gary's behavior affect his friendship with Daisy on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?
• Despite sexual assault allegations, Daisy and Gary are still friends, as seen on social media.
• Recent interactions and posts suggest that Daisy stands by Gary amid the accusations.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 may be on the horizon, but many are wondering if Gary King’s problematic behavior will impact his longtime friendship with Daisy Kelliher on the upcoming seaso n. Gary, who’s been the First Officer on Below Deck Sailing Yacht since its second season, has had a long friendship with Daisy, the Chief Stew aboard Parsifal III. While Gary and Daisy both work beneath Captain Glenn Shephard, the pair have been able to maintain their friendship for years prior to Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . Even after a tough charter season last year, they stayed close.

Gary, who’s been criticized for sexual assault allegations from a Below Deck franchise makeup artist , has been struggling in his personal and professional relationships for the last year. After the allegations, Gary’s behavior seemed to be predominantly about denying the accusations and clearing his name . Without proof surrounding the accusations, it seemed possible that it there would be minimal fallout after the news came out, but Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers wanted Gary to be held accountable for his behavior. With Bravo choosing to take Gary off the BravoCon lineup and delaying Below Deck Sailing Yacht, things have been tough.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Gary & Daisy Recently Met Up

The pair saw each other in australia.

Although Daisy hasn’t spoken up about Gary’s sexual assault allegations , it’s possible that they haven’t impacted her friendship with Gary in the last year. Recently, Daisy posted a series of photos on Instagram that feature Gary out and about at an Australian distillery. With Daisy, Gary, and a few of their friends posing together throughout the post , it appears that the pair have spent some time together after getting off Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5’s charter. Many have been curious if the cast has seen each other off the sailing yacht, and Daisy’s post makes it clear they have.

Gary & Daisy Still Follow Each Other On Social Media

They’ve kept in touch online.

While Daisy may have been posting the photos to honor the announcement that Below Deck Sailing Yacht would be returning in the fall, she also still follows Gary on social media. Daisy’s Instagram, which is typically quite active, is something that she regularly updates for her followers. With her being very active, the fact that Daisy still follows Gary is something she would notice, should she want to distance herself from the longtime First Officer. Instead, Daisy and Gary mutually follow each other and interact with each other’s posts on the photo-sharing app, making it clear they’re still in contact.

Gary & Daisy Are Likely Still Friends

She may not believe the allegations.

Although many Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers were hopeful that Gary’s behavior would have Daisy choosing to distance herself from her longtime friend, it appears that the pair are likely still good friends. With Daisy still following Gary on social media and posting with him in recent photos, it seems clear that she is on Gary’s side when it comes to the accusations . Hopefully, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 will provide some clarity on Gary’s stance on the allegations, potentially even clearing them up or seeing him choose to speak up on what’s happened in the last tumultuous year.
