Sarah Marzocchi, founder of The Med Crew and The Med Stew Academy, and co-founder of Sarene Interiors Setup & Standards, is redefining the superyacht industry from the shores. After years as a Chief Stewardess aboard vessels ranging from 30 to 80 meters, she now channels her expertise into education, interiors, and professional standards—creating systems that empower crew members and bridge luxury service with modern career development.
Based between Italy and Greece and fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and French, Sarah’s connection to the sea began in her youth as a national sailing competitor. Yachting felt like a natural extension of her love for sailing, combining structure, teamwork, and service. Her early career outside of yachting—as an advertising and marketing manager for a global agency and work with the United Nations—instilled in her a unique understanding of communication, organization, and human dynamics, which she later applied onboard.
Now, Sarah’s projects focus on raising standards and longevity in the industry. The Med Crew and The Med Stew Academy provide education and mentorship, while Sarene Interiors delivers design-led solutions grounded in yachting expertise. Her next milestone is evolving from founder to influential industry voice, shaping systems, spaces, and standards that support sustainable careers, particularly for women in yachting.
Reflecting on her journey, Sarah emphasizes that yachting is a chapter, not an identity. She encourages professionals to approach the industry with intention and long-term vision, and she champions a definition of success that blends excellence, self-worth, and longevity. Her mission is clear: to bridge the gap between superyacht-level service, education, and design, helping crew navigate meaningful careers both onboard and ashore.
