Turning a Life at Sea Into a Scalable Education Platform

Dean Harrison—better known as The Yacht Chef—has lived a life most people only see on Instagram. From cooking aboard 80+ meter superyachts to preparing meals for royalty and billionaires, Dean’s journey is anything but ordinary.

But behind the glamorous shots of sunsets, plating, and life at sea is a decade-plus of discipline, long hours, and relentless hard work. Dean didn’t just want to document yacht life—he wanted to teach it.

That’s where Course Co. came in.

The Challenge: Experience Without Structure

Dean already had what most creators are chasing:

  • A loyal global audience
  • High visibility on Instagram and YouTube
  • Deep, real-world expertise in the superyacht industry

What he didn’t have was a clean, scalable way to package that experience into a structured education product that could truly support aspiring yacht chefs.

He needed:

  • A clear curriculum built from real industry experience
  • Professional lesson structure and flow
  • Video guidance that matched the quality of his brand
  • A platform-ready course that felt premium, not pieced together

Most importantly, Dean wanted the education to feel authentic—not overproduced or corporate.

The Solution: Full-Service Course Creation by Course Co.

Course Co. partnered with Dean to help transform years of hands-on yacht chef experience into a polished, professional learning experience without losing his voice or personality.

Our team supported Dean across the full course creation process, including:

Course Strategy & Curriculum Design

We helped map Dean’s real-world journey into a logical, beginner-friendly framework—guiding students from first curiosity all the way to understanding life, expectations, and standards onboard superyachts.

The curriculum was designed to reflect:

  • The realities of yacht life (not just the highlight reel)
  • The discipline and mindset required to succeed
  • Practical insights you won’t find on Google or YouTube

Lesson Planning & Educational Structure

Dean’s knowledge ran deep. Our role was to organize it into lessons that were clear, focused, and easy to follow—without watering anything down.

Each module was intentionally structured to feel like:

“A conversation with a mentor who’s already lived it.”

Video Production & Editing Support

We guided Dean on how to present his lessons on camera, ensuring consistency, clarity, and a professional learning experience while keeping the raw, honest tone his audience trusts.

The result was educational content that felt:

  • Polished, but not scripted
  • Premium, but still personal
  • Educational, yet deeply human

Platform-Ready Course Build

Course Co. ensured the final product was ready for real students—built to support growth, onboarding, and long-term use as Dean continues mentoring yacht chefs through Become a Yacht Chef.

The Outcome: Authority, Clarity, and Longevity

With Course Co.’s support, Dean was able to move beyond content creation and into true education leadership.

Today, his course ecosystem supports:

  • Aspiring yacht chefs looking for real guidance
  • Chefs seeking clarity before entering the industry
  • A long-term mentorship brand built on credibility and experience

Dean continues to expand his impact through:

  • Become a Yacht Chef, his mentorship and education platform
  • His advisory role with Shoreside Support, helping chefs provision smarter
  • Ongoing content across Instagram and YouTube that reinforces trust and authority

Why This Matters

Dean’s story is a perfect example of what Course Co. does best:

We help experts turn real experience into real education without fluff, hype, or shortcuts.

When your knowledge deserves more than scattered videos and DMs, Course Co. helps you build something that lasts.
