What we do
Sageseas offers a suite of services built specifically for the superyacht industry. Whether you are a Captain or HOD looking to develop your leadership, or a management company seeking measurable insights into crew performance, everything we do is grounded in real industry experience and tailored to the demands of life and leadership at sea.
Bespoke Onboard/Online Workshops
Personal Development Plans
1:1 Coaching
We work with Captains, HODs and management companies who are serious about leadership and onboard culture. Through consultancy, evaluation, and ongoing development, we help create the conditions where teams are aligned, performing, and proud of the vessel they represent.
Crew Engagement
Our Online Crew Surveys are fully anonymous and designed specifically for your yacht — exploring job satisfaction, team dynamics, and crew aspirations within the industry. This multi-faceted evaluation gives Captains, HODs, and management the strategic insight needed to understand their crew, identify opportunities, and build a programme that strengthens culture and team performance. Onboarding surveys ensure new crew feel connected and valued from day one; offboarding surveys provide honest insight into why crew leave — giving leadership the information needed to retain the right people.
Workshops
Sageseas workshops are delivered onboard or online, and designed specifically for the realities of leadership and team life in the superyacht industry.
- Lead with Intent - Sageseas workshops are delivered onboard or online, and designed specifically for the realities of leadership and team life in the superyacht industry.
- Perform @ Your Peak - Designed for crew at any level, this session explores the habits, mindset, and personal resilience needed to perform consistently in a demanding environment. Practical, honest, and grounded in the realities of life at sea.
- Crew Culture - An engaging team session that brings the whole crew together to explore shared goals, values, and vision. Crew Culture identifies the behaviours that energise a team — and those that don't — creating a foundation for a stronger, more connected onboard environment.
Personal Development
Sageseas offers bespoke 1:1 coaching and personal development plans tailored to the individual - whether that's developing leadership skills, navigating a career transition, or simply performing better in a demanding role. Sessions are built around the person, not a template, and evolve as goals and circumstances change.
For those who want an added layer of insight, we also offer data-driven coaching using professional-grade physiological monitoring - providing objective, personalised data to inform the development plan.
1:1 Consultations
Life at sea is demanding - and life onshore doesn't stop while you're on it. Sageseas offers confidential 1:1 consultations with Claire, our qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist with extensive experience in the superyacht industry.
Available to Captains, HODs, and crew, these sessions provide a private, professional space to work through the personal and professional challenges that come with life in this industry - whatever they may be.
Crew Fitness and Team Building
Physical fitness and team cohesion go hand in hand. Sageseas offers crew fitness and team building sessions led by Katie, our experienced fitness coach with a background in the superyacht industry.
Sessions are available in Mallorca and online — flexible enough to fit around your yacht's schedule and location.
Tailored Annual Support
Real progress takes consistency. Sageseas annual support packages are designed for yachts and individuals who are committed to ongoing leadership development and crew performance — not just a one-off intervention.
Each package is bespoke and typically includes pre and post season crew surveys, ongoing 1:1 coaching, regular check-ins and consultations, access to the Sageseas Leadership Hub, and the latest industry updates and resources. Everything is structured around your yacht's season, your team's needs, and your long-term goals.
Tools We Use
The Firstbeat personal monitor provides highly accurate physiological data on stress, recovery, sleep, and physical activity. A simple mobile app gives you direct access to your own results — and our 1:1 coaching turns that data into a personalised development plan that's genuinely relevant to you.

Strengthen Leadership
Effective leadership doesn't happen by accident. Sageseas gives Captains and HODs the tools, coaching, and community to lead with confidence - and set the standard for everyone below them.
