Prior to yachting, Laura worked at two prestigious 5* game lodges in the Sabi Sands in South Africa; Singita and Ulusaba. From there followed a 15-year career at sea, working as chief stewardess/ interior manager / purser aboard superyachts such as M/Y Princess Mariana, M/Y Octopus, M/Y Tatoosh, M/Y Sunrays, M/Y Pelorus, M/Y Golden Odyssey and M/Y Ace.

At the beginning of 2020, Laura teamed up with Lauren at Trilogy Luxury Training to offer training for senior stewardesses and the online senior stewardess programme was developed. She is thrilled to be able to share the skills she has learnt over the years with future chief stewardesses in the yachting industry.

Ronelle is our operations manager who has a wealth of experience in the maritime industry. Ronelle spent 11 years in the Navy, and from there she has been involved in super yacht training for over 14 years.

She has been instrumental in helping us set up the STCW course we offer and now handles all course bookings, planning and organisation.

Sarah spent five wonderful years working on yachts, mostly cruising in US waters. Four of those years were as Chief Stewardess onboard yachts with exceptionally high service standards, which she loved. After her time at sea, she obtained her teaching degree (NQ Level 5) and spent four years teaching young students.

She is now thrilled to be able to combine her two passions — teaching and hospitality — by coaching individuals looking to enter the superyacht industry. In addition to training, Sarah also manages recruitment for Trilogy, helping to guide new crew into exciting roles onboard.

She is also the creative force behind our social media, keeping everyone up-to-date with the latest news and activities at the Trilogy office.
