Stewarding Academy overview
Stewarding Academy elevates service quality and personal standards in luxury hospitality through modern teaching methods, applied science, and real operational experience. We develop confident professionals who perform naturally at the highest level on board, in the air, and beyond.

Who we support
We collaborate with owners and representatives of luxury yachts, private jets, private estates, premium apartments, boutique hotels, and fine dining restaurants, supporting their vision through highly trained, reliable teams.
Our training is delivered directly to crew members worldwide, including interior crew, deck crew, engineers, captains, pursers, service leaders, and VVIP private jet cabin crew. We work in small, carefully selected groups, ensuring personalised attention, practical relevance, and lasting results.
By developing people at every operational level, we enhance VVIP guest experience, strengthen cross-department collaboration, and support smooth, efficient operations—where true excellence is created.
What you will learn
Depending on your role and career stage, training may include: luxury hospitality & 7-star service standards, full interior & silver service training, protocol & high-level communication in English, VVIP mindset training for private jet and ultra-high-profile environments, teamwork, leadership, and professional mindset development.
Stewarding Academy supports crew long after their time on board, providing online coaching and guidance to help you define and achieve your personal and professional dreams.
We don’t place crew. Instead, we help you clarify your goals and navigate career or life transitions. We support you in developing skills that transfer beyond yachting or aviation, while building confidence, resilience, and a professional mindset to succeed in any role you aspire to. Our guidance is accessible worldwide, so you can continue growing wherever your journey takes you.
Founded on experience and care
Stewarding Academy was founded by MSc Joanna Sempruch over 10 years ago, experienced educator and interior manager, certified maritime professional, coach, and trainer, based in Central Europe. Our quality has been recognised with the Eagles of Education Award. We are the only company in Poland specialising in 7-star crew training and were proud ACREW Business Partners (2022–2023). We genuinely care about the people we work with. We listen, support, and stay engaged. Our mission is a unique, personalised learning experience that empowers individuals and teams to grow, perform, and succeed – both on board and beyond one season.
