Crew stories

In their own words.

Honest accounts from stewardesses, deckhands, captains and engineers who launched or grew their careers with our team.

Most yachting academies sell you a whole package with courses that are not needed and can be added on later. With Crew Atelier they helped me pick out the courses that were necessary. With being Green it was all very peculiar. They helped me with my CV and gave me very good advice and guidance. The Crew Atelier is not like most concierge services they offer honest advice and don’t sell you unnecessary courses. They are always quick to respond back to you and always ease your mind and help you understand. Without them I wouldn’t be in the position I am today. Crew Atelier has helped me live out my yachting dream.

After several seasons as a stewardess, I felt stuck. I knew I wanted to progress, but I wasn’t sure what the next step looked like or what opportunities were actually out there. The Crew Atelier helped me look beyond just applying for the next job. They took the time to understand my experience, talked me through different career paths, and helped me present my skills in a way that opened more doors. I left with a clear plan, renewed confidence, and a much better understanding of where I wanted my career to go. I can’t recommend them enough.

I used to waste so much time trying to figure out courses in yachting, constantly second guessing if I was doing the right thing or just overpaying. Everything felt scattered and confusing. With The Crew Atelier it just felt easier — they actually looked at my situation and helped me narrow it down properly instead of me just guessing off a list of options. I remember seeing a course I had been quoted around €2,600 for, and they got it sorted for under €1,000. But more than that, it was just the relief of not having to figure everything out alone. Made a big difference for me.
