Most amazing place to do courses, so much information from someone that has actually been on a boat. It helps so much to hear about all the stores that happen and how to handle them from first hand experience. Loved every second of this course.
Alexandra Müller
Meg and her team are phenomenal. Megan was always available to help with any questions or queries that we might’ve had on admin side or just in general. Meg as our instructor was hands on and used her experience in the industry when explaining everything throughout the modules. Overall had the best experience and would recommend to anyone who wants to become a stewardess to contact them.

The service was great and everything at first.. I wouldn't comment much because I ended up doing the course with other faculty..
Until I've noticed that I've paid much and they said they cannot refund me.. they promised to help me till this day.. I never got any feedback.Keri Tayla Smith
I would highly recommend doing the stewardess course through Get Onboard Superyacht Academy, it was an amazing course, I learnt so much from this course in such a short time and it was such a personal experience, I felt so comfortable and at ease during the course knowing that I could ask questions at any time and be answered in a personal way. Knowing that it’s coming from previous Chief Stewardess’s that know exactly what they doing and will help you with each questions and guide you step by step through the process to make sure you understand and know exactly what you doing and how to do it. I loved this course and I would highly recommend it to every girl out there that would like to become a stewardess and pursue their yachting dreams.

leish Van Den Berg
Wow! What a great company! I wish Get onboard was around when I started yachting! It is literally everything you could ask for getting yourself set for the industry. It takes the guess work and mission out of figuring out what you need to get started in the wonderfulness that is yachting and makes sure you are set up and ready to succeed in this exciting career and adventure. You are in such great hands with Meg, she has got infinite knowledge about the yachting industry, is incredibly professional and has got great contacts in the yachting world! I have no doubts whatsoever ever that you will be 100% happy with your decision to use Get onboard yachts!
