Why Join Now

The maritime world is changing fast — automation, new regulations, greener ports, evolving career paths. Amid constant change, what we must protect is the strength of the people who keep it running — and that’s exactly what the Land & Sea Community is built to do.

This is not a forum for endless chatter; it’s a focused space to connect with peers and leaders who understand what it means to balance life at sea, ambition ashore, and the future of our industry.

By joining, you’ll gain both insight and allies: people who open doors, challenge your thinking, and remind you that your skills matter far beyond the vessel.

Naomi's Story

From Bridge to CEO

Naomi Vanderstockt is a Master Mariner Unlimited who spent nearly 15 years at sea, mostly on cruise ships but also on LNG carriers, dredgers, and tugboats.

At sea she often wondered: Who are the people writing the rules, developing the technology, operating ports? Were they also seafarers once? And what happens to the knowledge gained on the bridge when a career moves ashore?

Two years ago, Naomi stepped into the maritime world on land — and quickly rose into roles that connected her with governments, industry bodies, and port executives. Now as CEO of Caerulea, she is committed to helping others find their path, build careers aligned with the lifestyle they want, and strengthen the bond between land and sea.
