Who are Flying Fish?

But don’t just take our word for it…

“I’ve just finished the stewardess course and I can’t recommend Flying Fish enough. They’ve sourced people from many different professions who have a genuine love and passion for what they do, and this is so well reflected in the teaching. Despite the course only being 2 weeks long, I feel I have come away with so much knowledge and many skills that I will be able to use going forward in this industry. The accommodation is lovely, Cowes is lovely and thank you everyone for making it such an enjoyable experience. ⚓️🛳☺️”

“Had the best 2 weeks here at Flying Fish. I did the STCW and Deckhand course. All the staff were amazing, friendly and really helpful from start to finish and really know how to make the course fun. Our accommodation was really nice and clean and really close to everything we needed. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. Sad to leave but now to get work on the yachts with all the qualifications i have gained from the course 😊”

“Flying fish were so amazing & professional from arrival. I was super nervous to join the Steward/ess course as a male as I didn’t know what to expect going into the industry as a male – the instructors helped me put my mind at ease and realise there’s a space for everyone in the industry. […] Walking away from my 2 weeks I feel extremely confident and grateful for all the knowledge, skills and overall experience of training with Flying Fish. Huge shoutout to Laura, Emma, Rob & Angus for being great mentors! If you’re thinking of doing a course in the UK, I highly recommend choosing Flying Fish!”
