Our Services - The Crew Culture Assessment
Surface-level performance can be misleading. On a superyacht, the true measure of success lies in the unseen dynamics: communication, morale, and the effectiveness of your leadership. Think of us as an experienced second set of eyes—one that sees the subtle cultural indicators that others often miss.
The Crew Culture Assessment provides a clear, confidential, and expert-led view into the heart of your operation, giving you the insight needed to build a world-class crew.

Our Guiding Principles: What We Are (And What We Are Not)
Our methodology is built on a foundation of trust, discretion, and a genuine desire to help. It's crucial you understand our role.
We Are Observers, Not Inspectors
We do not check for MLC, ISM, or regulatory compliance. That is the responsibility of your captain and management company. Our focus is entirely on people, leadership, and team dynamics.We Are Partners, Not Critics
We are not interested in pointing fingers or assigning blame. Our goal is to provide insight that supports constructive improvement, not to criticize or undermine your existing team.We Are Confidential, Not Whistle-blowers
We do not file complaints, escalate crew issues, or take sides. Everything we observe is reported with complete confidentiality to you, the owner, or your single designated contact.We Are Insiders, Not Outsiders
We’ve worked at sea. We’ve been HODs. We understand the pressure, the politics, and the unique culture of a superyacht. We are here to help, not to interfere.
