The Problem

Choosing a shore career shouldn't feel like gambling.

Most sailors get generic advice, one-size-fits-all MBA pitches, or no guidance at all — until it's too late to plan properly.

The DeckToDesk Approach

AI evaluates. Mentors validate. You transition with a plan.

01
AI Evaluation
Free, 5-minute WhatsApp conversation about your profile and goals.
02
AI Career Report
A readiness score, strengths, gaps, and recommended pathways.
03
Mentor-Validated Roadmap
A human mentor reviews your report and helps you commit to a plan.

How It Works

From 'I don't know what's next' to a mentor-validated plan

Six steps, from your first WhatsApp message to joining the alumni network.

1
Start on WhatsApp
Answer 10–15 questions about your rank, sailing experience, and goals. Takes about 5 minutes, completely free.
2
Get your AI Career Report
Receive a readiness score, your strengths and gaps, and 1–3 recommended pathways — MBA, certification, or a direct shore-role track.
3
Get matched to your next step
Low intent gets free resources. Medium intent gets a webinar invite. High intent gets a paid mentor session.
4
Validate with a mentor
Your mentor reviews your AI report before the session, so the conversation goes straight to decisions — not repeating your background.
5
Get admission support
Documentation checklists, eligibility guidance, interview prep, and fee timelines for your chosen program.
6
Join the alumni network
Placement support, referrals, and a lifelong community of officers who made the same transition.
