We are a dynamic young company specialising in the training of Interior Yacht Crew. In the two years since Abacus & March established itself on the Cap d’Antibes, we have become the go-to agency on the Côte d’Azur and beyond for high quality Interior Training and successful recruitment and placement of staff, specifically Chefs and Interior Crew. Headed by director Terry Gilmore, who has over 40 years of service in the Superyacht Industry working for a number of high profile owners, we feel we are well placed to invoke our vast experience to ensure that you get the very highest levels of Crew Recruitment, Classroom and Onboard Training. We feel passionately about raising the levels of service in yachting and creating a harmonious atmosphere between Captain and Crew. At Abacus & March, we use effective methods of checking references and we strive to place the right people with the right yachts. We don’t just press a button, we go to extraordinary lengths to ensure a good fit and pride ourselves on providing the ultimate tailor-made service to suit your needs. Nothing is too much trouble. We have assembled a highly professional team to set up the Interior Training Academy, which is run in association with Bluewater and accredited under the PYA GUEST programme. The 40 hour week- long Introduction Course covers all aspects of Interior Service and Etiquette and takes place in a residential environment to provide the right atmosphere. In short, it is a pleasant introduction for a newcomer into the world of yachting service and gives them the confidence to fulfil their role. Successful students graduate with a diploma that is endorsed by the PYA and the skills learnt will remain with each individual throughout a career that could also encompass running a hotel, restaurant or private villa. We also provide extensive Onboard Training wherever you may be in the world and can arrange to visit your yacht and discuss your exact requirements in advance, thereby eliminating the pressure on the Chief Steward or Stewardess, who may not have the time to devote to teaching new staff members Onboard. In our view, this is the most professional and efficient method for training purposes, as the Instructor teaches following in depth discussions with the Chief Steward rather than the Chief Steward shouldering the responsibility, thereby allowing them to focus on more pressing areas of their job. PYA Guest qualifications are also obtainable through this Onboard Tuition: for all levels. Please feel free to call us direct at our Antibes headquarters either on the Abacus & March number 0033 4 93 67 00 02 or the ITA number 0033 4 93 65 98 96 for further information or to arrange a meeting.
