Private Motor Yacht Training That is Designed To Your Person Goals
Our training is specifically designed to meet your goals. Prior to commencing any training, we will discuss your goals and agree a realistic time frame. Some of the most common goals we help boat owners with are:
- Training friends and family to be safe crew, working together as an effective team during passages and the dreaded close quarter manoeuvres in the marina berth.
- One on one 'park it like a pro' tuition.
- Support in working towards skippering a desired passage on your own.
- Confidence building for night navigation.
- Developing a working knowledge of live saving equipment, and managing a man overboard situation.
- General management and routine maintenance of a vessel.
- Yachtmaster examination prep training.
- Pilotage into new destinations.
- Confidence building for skippers and their families.
- Background knowledge, in weather, passage planning, tides, collision regulations, using radar.
Most of our training is delivered in bit size chunks over 2 days. We can do more, however, we find over 4 days straight, the intensity can effect the retention of information. Half days or evening sessions are also possible.
There will only be a maximum of 4 students per boat, and per instructor.
