Seably and MMK Cooperation: Revolutionising Yacht Safety and the Guest Experience.

News|31 January 2023

Seably, the DNV-approved digital training platform for the maritime industry, and MMK Booking Manager, the most extensive global distribution system in yacht charter, are joining forces to create a seamless charter experience by easing the pressure on bareboat charterers and improving guests safety through 360° eLearning in the Booking Manager Charter Academy.

Seably and MMK Cooperation: Revolutionising yacht safety and the guest experience.

When charter companies sign up for the Booking Manager Charter Academy, Seably will take a 360° scan of each of their boats and create a familiarisation course with interactive ‘hot spots’ and straightforward user guides that are short, fun and memorable.  The course will be sent to guests pre-check-in to speed up time-constrained changeovers and reduce the risk of costly mistakes and accidents from inexperienced and inattentive guests. They will also be downloadable for guests to rewatch during the charter so they can fact-check and problem-solve on the go.

Guests will also have access to hundreds of ready-made Seably approved courses about every aspect of sailing, to refresh their skills or learn something new, from safety to security and the basics of sailing, to celestial navigation. It can be set as a requirement for charter or taken at the guest's leisure. They can also download any courses and look at them offline on a dedicated app whilst on the boat.

Charter companies will also be able to create their own courses with the support of the Seably content team, to give even more value to their guests or to help induct their own staff in company policies, values, onboarding, health and safety or check-in protocol.

Andrea Lodolo, CEO of Seably, which became the only digital training platform for the Charter Market, stated: "We are excited to announce the launch of Booking Manager Charter Academy with MMK Booking Manager, which will allow us to take guest experiences on bareboat charters to new heights. By integrating the Seably online learning platform, we will be able to provide guests with the knowledge and skills they need to safely and confidently navigate the yacht. This partnership will not only enhance the guest experience but also minimise the risk of accidents and save costs. We are thrilled to be working with MMK and look forward to delivering the finest quality experiences to the guests."

Martina Hršak, COO of MMK Systems stated: "Our collaboration with Seably will bring multiple benefits to charter companies and their guests. One of the main advantages is that guests will be able to familiarise themselves with the boat before embarking. This will minimise the risk of accidents and potential damages, as well as allow guests to make the most of their holiday. Additionally, they will learn about sailing in a practical and enjoyable way, making their experience even more memorable."
