This course, aligned with the Royal Yachting Association standards, offers participants the opportunity to earn the prestigious RYA Yachtmaster Coastal or Yachtmaster Offshore certifications, recognised worldwide.

During the Yachtmaster Prep Week, participants will dive deep into practical skills and knowledge essential for safe yacht commanding up to 150 miles from a safe haven. The course comprises five full days of liveaboard training to adequately prepare participants for a rigorous practical exam conducted by an RYA-certified examiner specifically flown in for the occasion.
