Testimonials

Hi, I am Kevin and come from a pharmacy background and moved into commercial shipping with limited practical exposure. I joined the  Applied Commercial Shipping course by Sea and Beyond because I wanted to understand how things actually work in real commercial situations, not just learn definitions.
Over six weeks, this course helped me understand various layers in shipping. My thanks and appreciation to all mentors and people involved at Sea and Beyond especially Smitha for the support and trust for guiding me through this learning. What I appreciated most was the focus on real consequences and how small mistakes can lead to delays, costs, and claims.By the end of the course, I felt more confident analyzing vessel suitability and identifying commercial risks. This course is especially useful for anyone transitioning into shipping who wants practical, applied understanding rather than surface-level knowledge. All thanks to Sea and Beyond and their team.

The counselling call with Capt. Gaurav Rana provided clarity on the career dilemmas I had been grappling with. As a maritime industry veteran, his advice helped me to make a concrete decision about my further career plans and gain a clearer view of my career trajectory after transitioning from sea to shore. I am deeply grateful for his invaluable insights.

Good Day!

I can’t thank you enough for the incredible guidance and support throughout my husband’s study abroad journey. From helping us shortlist the right universities to guiding us through the complex application and scholarship processes, every step felt easier and more achievable because of your expertise.

Your understanding of different programs, patient approach in addressing all our doubts, and constant motivation made a huge difference. As I was continuously in touch with you when Aritra was sailing.You actually went above and beyond — from reviewing our essays and documents to ensuring we met every deadline with confidence.

Thanks to your dedication and all support as Aritra successfully secured admission into the college along with a scholarship! Studying abroad felt like an overwhelming dream at first, but it finally became a smooth and exciting reality.

Disha please pass this note to your higher management as you really were a great help!

I highly recommend Disha  to anyone looking for genuine, professional, and heartfelt guidance for studying abroad. You just didn’t advise — you actually cared about our goals and help to reach them! We truly appreciate!!

My experience with Ms. Riya Shetty From Sea & Beyond made me feel extremely satisfied beyond expectations. I had been looking for a  shore  job after becoming Chief Engineer in Merchant Navy and when I was onboard ship I contacted Ms Riya and she was keeping me updated on regular basis about all the shore job openings matching my profile, When i signed off from vessel in Last week of November 2022 as per my travel plan she arranged two interviews for me in 3  days time period and was selected for both the roles, Finally i decided to join HIND TERMINALS pvt Ltd as DGM- Maintenance & Technical.
She was very helpful and always motivated me in my journey to get my first shore job. it was the beginning of a very good experience. She was very professional and kept me updated on every step. She even made a follow up, to check if everything was alright and working as promised. For that I give her a thumbs up. Happy to recommend.”

Sea and Beyond is a hidden gem for any seafarer in INDIA which is not advertised enough on any telegraph channels and YouTube videos that we see. While there are a plethora of channels for passing MMD exam, this is the only website that is giving genuine guidance for the larger maritime industry and for preparing for a life beyond sailing. 

A TS Elliot quote goes like " The end is where we start from". This is very true for us seafarers. As we reach the end of our competency exams, a whole new world of opportunities open. Ask any Captain or CE. The maritime industry is huge, sailing and class 1 competency is just the tip of this iceberg. Sea and Beyond helps us realise this through their mentoring and expert call, where you can seek counseling from seniors within the industry who have transitioned to a successful career beyond sea and I strongly suggest all officers to utilise this. I did, and my only regret is, why I didn't come across this platform sooner.

Thanks to Capt. Gaurav Rana for this great initiative.
