Skipper School
Most lucky people who have ever traveled on a yacht dream to sail again. Many of those who “fell ill with the sea” want to obtain skipper license in order to go to sea on their own.
We offer sailing training programs from our partners, Seacharter Yachting School. According to the results of training, a certificate is issued by the International school IYT, valid throughout the world.
To get acquainted with the basics of sailing a yacht or to refresh knowledge, you can watch the training videos of the Seacharter school.

Yachtmaster Coastal IYT
This is a program for experienced yachtsmen who have “grown” out of the standard coastal skipper license.
You will learn how to make long sea voyages, get the right to go day and night, and you will be ready to competently withstand weather conditions up to 8BF. From a skipper, you will turn into the Captain of a sailing ship (Yacht Master).
Yachting experience: at least 30 days and 800 nautical miles at sea, of which at least two days as a skipper, at least 12 hours of night shift.
Course Content:
- Extensive training of the theory (navigation, tides, pilotage, voyage planning, IRPCS, etc.)
- Long voyage – 5 days offshore in a complex water area.
The exam consists of an oral interview and the practical part – working on a yacht during a trip. The candidate must confidently steer the yacht and crew in any proposed situations (mooring, departure from the berth, anchoring, work with sails, etc.). It is also necessary to be able to draw up a competent voyage plan, prepare the yacht and crew (including instructing crew members and guests), and much more that distinguishes a real captain (YachtMaster) from a skipper (Skipper).
The certificate entitles you to operate a yacht up to 78 feet, day and night, weather limit up to 8 BF, removal up to 60 miles from the port.
Course price: from 1150 euros.
