MANAGEMENT & SERVICE
Our reputation is built on the consistency of our impeccable service, which is grounded in the training we deliver in shaping excellent masters and commanders of yachts and ships. Meridian Adventure SAIL prides itself on delivering a world-class experience for all its guests. This is achieved through regular drills and highly purposed accreditation, ensuring qualified crew not only have trusted navigational expertise of oceans but also firm knowledge of all adventure activities and best practices to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.
The Meridian Adventure Academy is focused on delivering a complete maritime education to the highest standards, with comprehensive theoretical and practical training. Each year only a few candidates are selected to join the Academy. The 21-month programme has been created and is steered by CEO, Captain Sean Galleymore. His revolutionary and multidisciplined Academy ensures that those completing the programme become qualified skippers, with an employment contract, an income and lifetime career ahead of them. The best candidates are offered a contract with the Meridian Adventure Charter Fleet to operate our yachts in up to nine regions around the world. These candidates are mentored and developed into industry leaders as the company progresses them with a career path that leads to their formal education peaking at Master Unlimited.

The Academy provides those who enlist with the leadership skills and principles that will guide them through life, with a deep respect for the ocean. Succeeding here, means that you have excelled at one of the toughest and most revered maritime academies in the world.
