RYA Yachtmaster and MCA STCW Endorsement

Train at a recognised 'Maritime Academy' and enjoy higher standards, better equipment, extensive facilities, and higher qualified instructors with wider maritime experience.

 Yachtmaster with Commercial and STCW Endorsement

The STCW Basic Safety Training endorsement enables your RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate to be accepted more widely outside of British waters and on other flagged yachts. Because of this, you open up work opportunities on a wider range of vessels, including Superyachts.

Yachtmaster Fast Track Pro Training Guarantee

We’ve been running RYA Yachtmaster Fast Track sailing courses for over 22 years now and this is the expertise that you are buying into. We take our responsibility to you personally and do adapt the training to the group and also your individual changing training needs. Since sometimes exam nerves can get the better of even the strongest of candidates, we offer another exam opportunity to all full event students who have been committed to the course, undertaken the study asked of them, & turned up for class on time.

You only achieve Yachtmaster once: Do it right.

We do appreciate that committing to this course is an investment in your time, which can never be replaced, however it’s also a big investment in funds too. We’ve always made our course competitive as a package and fully inclusive of all meals & accommodation throughout every day of the course, along with all the training & experience you need to take the final Yachtmaster Offshore exam. We are open and upfront that you will need to bring spending money for your personal entertainment ashore, your laundry, active outdoor clothing & boat shoes.

There are also a few digital books & learning aids that are fabulous resources to download and will give you access to beneficial learning resources to help you along the way to your goals. You can pay the exam fees to RYA direct to generate your entry application forms & we recommend that everyone joining this course takes an ENG1 or other country equivalent to ensure you pass the medical requirements to work at sea prior to joining this course, or this can be arranged locally when you join us.

Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing Course Schedule

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Fast Track courses start at 1800 on the first Sunday. The detailed day to day schedule is based around the short and long term weather forecast at the time, however we aim to complete the theory and safety elements as early as possible in the course so this can be put into practice at sea. When not at sea the training rooms are available to you for self study and revision. Although this is considered a practical course, there is also a large amount of theory to cover too, in terms of total hours learning the ratio is around 70% Practical, 30% theory.
