Two days to build a more capable, confident crew

Superyacht In-Water Supervision & Rescue

A focused, practical course designed around the realities of guest safety onboard. Through realistic scenarios, in-water training and team-based exercises, we help crews develop the practical capability to supervise, respond and rescue effectively – complementing the mandatory training they already have.

Create a permanent state of readiness

Every yacht is different. Training should be too. We tailor practical scenarios around your vessel, its equipment and the activities your guests enjoy – creating training that's relevant to the way your yacht operates.

And with the right rescue equipment accessible and ready to use, that preparation continues long after the course ends.

This is my second time running the Superyacht Lifeguard course on board and it was a huge success again. Incredibly beneficial and the crew are much better prepared for the charter season. We will definitely be using the skills & tools we learnt for continued training and I’m much more confident that the deck team, specifically, are better equipped to deal with any real-life emergencies when they come up.

A deeper connection to the sea

Superyacht Lifeguard was founded by seasoned marine professional Brad Robertson, who has decades of experience across superyacht operations, water safety and marine conservation.

That experience continues to shape our approach: better preparation creates more capable crews, safer experiences for guests and greater confidence on the water.

But our connection to the sea goes beyond safety. Through education, experience and exploration, we hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the marine environments that make life on the water so extraordinary.
