What happens when yachting meets leadership, wellness, and retreat living in Cape Town?
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, host Captain Liam Devlin welcomes Emma Butler, Founder of North Star Retreats, to the bridge of M/Y Unbridled. They dive into Emma’s journey — from interior management on luxury yachts to creating North Star Superyacht Academy — a retreat combining yacht leadership training, personal wellness, and meaningful community.
Set against the idyllic backdrop of Cape Town, South Africa (2-9 November 2025), this retreat offers accredited certificate training, mentorship, yoga, meditation, spa-treatments, and adventure — all designed to support yacht crew, aspiring leaders, and those wanting to grow both at sea and on shore.
🧭 You’ll Learn:
✅ Emma Butler’s path from stewardess to founder of North Star Superyacht Academy / Retreats
✅ How the retreat blends leadership tools with wellness and self-care
✅ What the daily rhythm looks like — training, movement, downtime, and exploration
✅ Why Cape Town and the setting are ideal for reset and growth
✅ How mentorship and community play a long-term role beyond the retreat
✅ What makes the experience more than just “another course”
