The Yachtmaster Offshore carries MCA recognition as a certificate of competency in its own right under the "Small Commercial Vessel’ and "Large Yacht" codes. Holders of the certificate can command a charter yacht up to 24m load-line length or 200 GT up to 150 nm from a save haven.
It is not a beginners course. The preparation course is 5 days including the exam.
You will learn: Practical boat handling and navigation in our 15 m steel hulled training yacht, the Motor Yacht Lord Nelson ( we do not currently offer Yachtaster Sail). You will gain practical command experience and, because of the weight of the yacht, she handles like a much larger vessel. The boat therefore provides an ideal training platform for those moving to larger yachts.
Assessment: You will be examined by an RYA examiner on the last 2 days of the course, who will test your practical ability as well as your written and verbal theoretical knowledge.
