I can’t recommend this academy enough! I recently took Irma’s 5 Day Interior Training course and it was everything I hoped for and more. The facility is clean and equipped with everything you need to learn the ins and outs of yachting. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Irma is such an amazing instructor and mentor. She is helpful and wants to see you succeed beyond just her class. She does her best to make sure you are connecting with the right people to land your dream job. This school is unlike any other! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to thrive in the yachting industry!

Savvy is a wonderful place to study yachting! I just completed the 10 Day Interior course and loved every minute of it! Irma is unbelievably qualified and knows everything there is to know about stewarding, but even more importantly, she is incredibly kind and wants her students to succeed in the industry. I feel prepared for my next steps and already miss being a part of the Savvy family.

Amazing facility and staff that help with every step, or any questions that I might have. Being a hands on learner really helped me with the practical training the stewardess course provides. Definitely would recommend just starting out, or just gaining more knowledge that you might not have already known.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to enroll in the 10-day stewardess course at Savvy Maritime Academy, and I must say it was nothing short of amazing. Our instructor, Irma, deserves special recognition for her outstanding teaching approach.Irma made the entire learning experience truly exceptional. Her teaching style was incredibly practical, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the world of being a yacht stew through hands-on activities and real-world scenarios. It was evident that she was passionate about sharing her knowledge and expertise with us.Throughout the course, Irma's guidance and mentorship were invaluable. She encouraged us to ask questions, explore, and learn by doing, which made the learning process not only effective but also immensely enjoyable. Her dedication to helping us succeed was truly commendable.I left the course feeling well-prepared and confident in my abilities as a stewardess, thanks to Irma's exceptional teaching and the practical approach taken by Savvy Maritime Academy. If you're considering a career in this field, I highly recommend this course, as it's a fantastic opportunity to learn from a great teacher like Irma and gain practical skills that will serve you well in your future endeavors.
