Seaward Crew Is Proud To Be Affiliated With

PYC Cayman stands as a beacon of innovation in yacht crew employment, payroll and administration. We are a Cayman Islands-based entity offering a multi-faceted alternative to traditional payroll services. Our distinctive approach involves employing crew members through a Segregated Portfolio Company (SPC) and leasing them back to the yacht. The results are transformative.

For commercial vessels, we go beyond the call of duty to meet all the legal obligations set forth by the Maritime Labor Convention (MLC). This includes ensuring that crew members enjoy comprehensive health benefits, regulated crew leave, access to detailed monthly pay stubs, and seamless repatriation services. Our efficient payroll processing, managed from our Cayman office, ensures that crew members are compensated in a timely and accurate manner.

The Superyacht Training Academy, Cape Town, is an elite maritime Institute providing Internationally recognised training for professional yacht crew. We pride ourselves in releasing crew into the Superyacht Industry who are confident, competent, and responsible.

Our comprehensive programmes for Superyacht Deckhand, Stewardess and Chef are world-class training programmes that equip Superyacht personnel to performing at their optimum. Our career packages focus on the primary qualifications needed to assure success in obtaining the best jobs and maintaining them as a chosen career path. Our courses can be tailored to suit your individual requirements or added to any career programme to bolster your chances of securing lucrative employment contracts worldwide.

The Progressive Crew Career Programme (PCCP) is an affordable, structured e-learning platform designed to be the first step into the yachting industry. It gives you a clear understanding of how the industry actually works, what roles exist, and what is realistically expected onboard – so you can make informed decisions before committing significant time and money.

PCCP is designed to complement hands-on training. Practical courses and onboard experience teach the skills – PCCP ensures you already understand how yachts operate, how departments connect, and how to approach your role professionally. This means you arrive onboard prepared, confident, and ready to learn, maximising the value of your training and reducing costly early mistakes.

By bridging the gap between certification and real onboard performance, PCCP helps you choose the right path, avoid unnecessary expenses, and start your career with clarity and direction.

Start with clarity. Invest with confidence. Step onboard prepared.
