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 safe haven. This preparative session is not for beginners.
You will learn: Practical boat handling and navigation in our 15 m steel hulled training yacht, the Motor Yacht Lord Nelson berthed in Port Gallice (we do not currently offer Yachtmaster 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.
Please be aware that the start/end dates of the practical course may be changed and/or extended at the last minute due to weather conditions. The course may start earlier or finish later than programmed and therefore, please make sure to plan flights/accommodation with these potential changes in mind.
You are required to hold the VHF (SRC) GMDSS Radio Licence, Valid First Aid certificate (to have been taken within 3 years), Valid Personal Survival Techniques certificate, Valid ENG1, and online PPR certificate.
Please note that all RYA exam/endorsement fees are to be paid to the RYA directly.
