Its success was quickly followed by four other Intuition Cruises to the Southern and Western Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Hawaiian Islands.

Sydney Cresci’s vision of designing empowering, life-changing programs at sea was formed at a very early age in Europe. She found yacht travel through the exotic waters of the world o be exhilarating, if not inspirational – and she longed to share that experience with others. “Travel can expand your personal universe. You become more open and accessible to new ideas,” Cresci observes – as her clients make quantum leaps, opening to more positive change at sea as their senses become calmer yet more acute. “I know so many individuals who have expanded their outer horizon along with their inner selves… It was time I followed my dream and created the perfect mix of luxury yachting and transformation teachings.”

Sydney first crossed “the pond” as a baby when her mother moved to London to join her father who was stationed as a Naval Attaché for the American Embassy. In her early childhood, her family embraced frequent change traveling and living in Maryland, Washington, D.C., California and Florida then ending up back to Europe where their lifestyle shifted from land to water. In elementary school, her family lived on a sailboat on Elba, an island in the Mediterranean Sea. She later completed boarding school in Bavaria, moved to an island in the Stockholm Archipelago before moving to Stockholm for 10 years. In 1975, she relocated to the United States and made her home in northern California. Today, Sydney lives with her husband and teenage son between Marin County, outside San Francisco, and in New York City.
