Marine Mental Health & Psychological Fitness Services

Why Mental Well-being Matters at Sea

Life at sea demands more than technical competence. Long voyages, isolation, fatigue, cultural differences, and high-risk working conditions can significantly impact psychological well-being.

At Sentier Wellness, we support maritime organizations in building emotionally resilient, psychologically fit, and safety-oriented crews—onboard and ashore.
