Leisure and Commercial Options
There are numerous reasons to achieve your Yachtmaster Offshore so whatever your goals, we have a course for you.
For some the Yachtmaster qualification is purely for personal use and in this case the 'leisure' only version is all that is required.
However, if you would like to work as a professional yacht captan commercially in the yachting industry you will need the Professional version including the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency approved STCW Basic Safety Training package, and more.
In all cases, whatever version you choose, as we are both UK RYA and UK MCA approved we can provide all the training you will need in house.

The Yachts
The fleet of 5 JEANNEAU 389 Sailing yachts were brand new in 2017, are moored just 75 metres from the shore-based facility, and right in the very heart of the magnificent Ocean Village Resort in Gibraltar. This is a great place to relax during your down time.
