Training & Placement

World-class private staff, trained and tailored to your home or yacht.

At Major Domo, we believe truly seamless service comes from truly prepared staff. Drawing on decades of experience in luxury hospitality and superyacht service, we offer hands-on training and discreet placement of villa and yacht staff. Homes that require full time and seasonal staff require the calm precision of a five-star residence.

Whether you're onboarding new housekeepers, refining existing service standards, or sourcing professionals who already know the ropes, our team delivers the structure, skills, and discretion that make all the difference.

Staff Training Services

We offer personalized training for private household and yacht staff, covering the fundamentals and the fine details:

  • Housekeeping & Laundry Protocols
    Efficient systems for deep cleaning, room resets, wardrobe management, and fabric care—designed for consistency and discretion.

  • Service Standards & Table Settings
    Training in formal and informal service, table layouts, wine and beverage presentation, guest interaction, and etiquette.

  • Arrival & Turn-Down Routines
    Developing daily and seasonal routines that create comfort and rhythm in your home—welcoming you in and closing down with care.

  • Guest Communication & Presence
    Soft skills training to balance professionalism with warmth—so your staff anticipates rather than interrupts.

Training is conducted on-site, with a quiet, respectful presence that integrates into your household’s flow. We also offer refreshers, audits, and seasonal onboarding.
