I’m Eric Stenderup, a Master Mariner who’s spent decades working hands-on in the maritime industry—from oil rigs and cruise ships to research vessels and expedition yachts. I’ve trained crews in the field, led bridge teams through challenging conditions, and helped aspiring mariners chart a path toward their licenses—from 100-ton to Unlimited Master.
Today, I’m combining my real-world experience with content creation, sharing insights through YouTube and offering mentorship, consulting, and practical resources for both new and seasoned mariners. Whether you’re trying to figure out your next career step, choose a maritime school, or prepare for crisis situations, I’m here to help make the journey clearer.
This site is your hub for downloadable tools, license advising, scenario-based workshops, and gear made for people who live and work on the water—whether you’re running a yacht or navigating a commercial ship.
