If you want to work seriously in the nautical Yachtmaster Offshore is the most sought-after title in the world. In our centre, first in Southern Europe in terms of the number of examinations taken, we provide you with the necessary preparation to pass the test and start your career immediately.

1. What does the Yachtmaster licence offer you?

  • International Enabling: You can command vessels up to 200 gross tonnes within 150 miles from the coast.

  • Access to Work: With the Commercial Endorsementyou can work professionally on luxury yachts and work boats anywhere in the world.

  • Prestige and Competence: It is not just a 'piece of paper', but proof that you can confidently handle boat, crew and emergencies.

2. Why is it better than the Italian Officer 2nd Class?

Many candidates choose the Yachtmaster Offshore because it offers advantages that the Italian route does not:

  • Global Recognition: The Yachtmaster is universally accepted; the Officer Class II is often restricted to the Italian flag.

  • Reduced bureaucracy: The RYA system is fast and meritocratic, without the delays and waiting times of ministerial degrees.

  • Focus on Practice: While the Italian title is very theoretical, the Yachtmaster certifies your real ability to command at sea.

  • Language of the Sea: The exam is in English, giving you immediate access to the international superyacht market.

3. The Course Programme

The course is structured to give you total confidence at every stage of the examination:

  • In Class (6 days): We will study charting, tide calculations, meteorology, COLREG rules and do small practical exercises on radar in detail.

  • By Boat (5 days): We will move on board to review and refine all practical manoeuvres, ensuring that you arrive at the exam ready and relaxed.

  • Extra Certifications: If you do not have the certificate GMDSS SRCyou will be able to achieve this directly with us during the classroom days, before heading to the base of Porto Santo Stefano.

4. Costs and Promotions

  • Yachtmaster SAIL: € 2.700

  • Yachtmaster ENGINE: € 2.900

  • COMBO OFFER (Sail + Motor): € 3,100 (A huge saving for those who want the double qualification).

  • Note: The MCA examination fee of £ 256 (approx. € 280) must be added to the prices.

5. Our Guarantee

Sea You will credit Mario €1,000 while the €70 can be used for his next booking.
