You’re battling the fear of failure and judgement from your social circle and you’re lacking the confidence in yourself to finally take the leap.

You know you’ve got what it takes, but you’ve been working on your yachting CV for months and you’re still not proud and confident it will impress Chief Stews, Captains and Crew Agents.
You’re ready to do the work, but lack networks and connections in the industry to get started, and the only jobs you see advertised all want ‘6-12 months experience’ which only leaves you feeling deflated.

You'll nail
every interview
Ten years ago, I was climbing the corporate ladder, wondering if “this was it”? I was dreaming of a life full of adventure, but struggling to save for both holidays and a house. I was convinced I couldn't have it all - until I discovered the superyacht industry.
I worked hard throughout my career to reach Chief Stew in three years, leading, training and hiring interior teams on award winning superyachts.
The job allowed me to travel the world, build a career, make lifelong friendships, and the expense free living and allowed me to buy a house, my dream car and start this business.
This industry changed my life, and I want to help you achieve the same.
I’m Madison!

“I got my first role onboard through a contact of Madi’s!”
As a green stew, I was nervous that my land-based experience wouldn't be relevant enough to make me a good candidate for any positions; it was Madi who helped me translate my experience and made me believe I would be an asset to any crew! I was found twice through Madi's instagram for daywork, as Chief Stews said they felt they would get a good stew through Madi. I was then contacted through instagram for my first permanent position. Shore to Sea was the best investment I could have made starting out in the yachting industry. I am now on an 80m new build with a wonderful crew and a worldwide itinerary. Shore to Sea will not only provide you with a great base knowledge of what it takes to be a stewardess, but it will provide you with a huge network of connections to people around the world, too!"

“I managed to find a job within only 2 weeks of searching”
"Shore to Sea was an absolute lifeline in finding a job. Coming into yachting not knowing anyone or having any experience was quite daunting and scary. Having this program and the community of girls in the Facebook group was so amazingly supportive and comforting. I felt way ahead of the curve from the other greenies I met joining the industry and was often complimented on my CV."

FREQUENTLY ASKED
No problem! Shore to Sea was created for beginners with no yachting experience. The course covers everything you need to know to land your first job onboard, from understanding the seasons, crafting a standout CV, how to find jobs, nailing interviews to understanding the yachting lifestyle.
The course is self-paced, so you can complete it in your own time, at a pace that works with your schedule. Some students power through the modules in a few weeks, while others take it slower. The video lessons are a total of 6 hours, and then additional time is required to implement the recommended steps like creating your CV, setting up your crew profile with agencies, building relationships with recruiters etc.
Nope! I’ll guide you through the entire process and ensure you’re enrolling in the right courses - minus any unnecessary courses some facilities try to charge you for. The course also includes a list of recommended training providers with 10-20% discounts at selected training centres.
While no course can guarantee a job, Shore to Sea hands you the tools, knowledge, and strategies to give you the best possible chance of landing your dream role. In fact, 100% of students who followed the steps outlined have successfully secured jobs.
Not at all! Shore to Sea is designed to be implemented from any country, covering the essential steps and visa's you need regardless of where you’re starting from. While many students do relocate to a yachting hub to land their first role, we’ve had successful students from the U.S., New Zealand, England, Greece, Canada, South Africa, Germany, Romania, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, France, Poland, Sweden, and more.
Shore to Sea is more than just a course - it’s a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap created by a former Chief Stew who’s been where you are now. It focuses on what actually gets you hired, skipping the fluff that doesn’t matter. It’s packed with insider knowledge, proven strategies, and personal mentorship, it’s unlike anything else out there. Plus, you’ll join a supportive community of aspiring stews all on the same journey.
I recommend enrolling eight months prior to the yachting season you want to land a job in. This gives you plenty of time to complete your courses and go through the lessons in the program at a pace that doesn't feel overwhelming. If you're struggling to find your dream job and you’ve just discovered Shore to Sea, don’t worry—you can fast-track your job search by jumping into the lessons and implementing the strategies quickly.
