Welcome to our maritime training business, where our passion for the sea and our dedication to education come together to provide you with unparalleled learning experiences.
Our Story
Our story is one of adventure, resilience, and a deep connection to the maritime world. We’ve sailed around the world 1.5 times, traversed the enchanting European canals, and worked on commercial vessels across the globe. Our experiences have shaped not just our skills but our very understanding of what it means to be part of the maritime community.
Marine Rescue Skippers
As former marine rescue skippers, we’ve navigated some of the most challenging waters and have been at the helm during critical rescues. Our time spent teaching at TAFE and running our own training business has allowed us to share our knowledge with countless students, helping them to gain the skills and confidence needed to navigate the seas safely.
Award Winning
Our dedication to training and education hasn’t gone unnoticed. We run an award-winning business and have received recognition as trainers, highlighting our commitment to excellence. But our story doesn’t end there. We’ve also ventured into the world of writing, winning awards as authors for our best-selling memoirs.
Memoirs and Training Manuals
Our books, “Of Foreign Build – From Corporate Girl to Sea-Gypsy Woman” and “This Is It – 2 Hemispheres, 2 People, and 1 Boat,” capture the essence of our journeys, blending adventure with personal growth. Although not nautical, our memoir “A Standard Journey – 5 Horses, 2 People, and 1 Tent” offers a glimpse into another side of our lives, sharing the tale of a unique journey with five rescued horses along part of the Bicentennial National Trail in Australia.
And there’s more!
In addition to our memoirs, we’ve produced over half a dozen training manuals that guide students step-by-step through complex maritime concepts. Our library of hundreds of videos, thousands of articles, hundreds of handouts, and countless checklists serves as a comprehensive resource for learners of all levels. Some of our articles have been published in mainstream press, further solidifying our expertise and passion for the maritime field.
Navigate the Seas of Learning Together
Our journey is not just about the miles we’ve traveled or the books we’ve written; it’s about the lives we’ve touched and the knowledge we’ve shared. We are here to help you embark on your own maritime adventure, equipped with the skills, confidence, and inspiration you need to succeed.
Join us, and let’s navigate the seas of learning together.
