Join ABBRA for their live, in-person Marine Service Manager (MSM) Course, created exclusively for professionals leading boatyards, service yards, and marinas.

This four-day immersive program is designed to strengthen the real-world skills service managers need to run efficient, profitable, and high-performing service departments — all while connecting with peers who face the same challenges you do.

What You’ll Learn

Six core sessions focused on the fundamentals every service manager needs:
·    Professional Development & Time Management
·    Human Resources & Team Building
·    Safety, Health & Emergency Response
·    Financial Management
·    Maritime Law
·    Business Development & Service Recovery
 
Why Attend In Person?

This course is built for hands-on learning and collaboration. Being together allows for meaningful discussion, shared problem-solving, and relationship-building you simply can’t get online.

Participants will also take part in an on-site boatyard study tour, offering practical, real-world insights from respected industry leaders. All sessions are led by experienced marine professionals who understand the demands of service operations.

If you’re ready to sharpen your leadership skills, improve operational performance, and build a lasting professional network, this course is for you.
