About Dark Blu Inc
Building Exceptional Teams Onboard and Beyond
Founded in 2011 and based in Portsmouth, Dark Blu Inc. (DBI) specialises in transforming individuals into high-performing teams, whether at sea or on land. With a focus on people and their potential, we work to improve all aspects of performance and teamwork, using hands-on training to foster leadership, resilience, and trust.
Our onboard crew training is designed to take teams out of their comfort zones, encouraging them to explore new approaches to Leadership and Followership. Drawing inspiration from military team-building techniques, we adapt these robust methods to meet the specific needs of the corporate and maritime sectors. Training scenarios like Fire Fighting, Sea Survival, and Sinking Ship Simulators are used as dynamic vehicles to foster trust, interdependence, and Esprit de Corps. Combined with our unique “Bare Knuckle Feedback” sessions, these shared experiences challenge teams emotionally and mentally, driving home the lessons needed to elevate performance.
DBI believes that morale and trust are the foundation of any successful team. In the high-pressure environment of the superyacht industry—where crews routinely deliver the impossible for discerning clients—cohesion and teamwork are not optional; they are essential. Our courses are designed to help crew members bond, understand one another’s strengths, and learn to operate as a unified entity. Whether at sea or ashore, we provide flexible, customised training that meets the unique demands of our clients.
At Dark Blu Inc., we don’t just train teams; we help them become the best they can be. Contact us to learn how we can support your crew’s journey to excellence.
