We achieve a consistently high Yachtmaster offshore pass rate by choosing the very best FULL Yachtmaster instructors and making sure our fast track guys spend at least 10 weeks with a Full Yachtmaster instructor, at the low ratio of 4 trainees to one instructor.  There is no substitute for experienced Full Yachtmaster instruction and smaller group sizes.

We are Gibraltar based but most, if not all, your Yachtmaster passage making will be in the waters of Portugal and Spain. The tides and shipping traffic of the Gibraltar straits are comparable to the UK, and the bay of Gibraltar is a 24 hour service station of the seas with one of the worlds busiest container ports in Algeciras; the constant bunkering makes for a great place to practice night drills. 

All the ASA Yachtmaster Fastrack clients use the shore based facility daily when in Gibraltar during theory weeks and at the weekend, it's essential to have somewhere quiet to study away from the yacht.  We would never even attempt to deliver any of your Yachtmaster theory elements cramped in a small yacht with one chart between 5 students! 

Each student has a desk, in a fully air-conditioned training room, access is provided 24/7.

In conjunction with 2 large classrooms, the shore-based area offers a reception area, open 7 days a week, so there's someone to discuss your overall Yachtmaster training experience, and offer support.  Safe storage space, incase you have too much luggage to take on board, a UK TV lounge with free phone to keep your roaming costs down, and WIFI.  15 weeks is a long time away from home so we endeavour to ensure your Yachtmaster training with us is a comfortable as possible.
