Have you ever dreamed of getting paid a lot of money to travel the world as a superyacht captain?
Apart from being generally super luxurious, a superyacht is a yacht greater than 24 metres in length and is, therefore, outside the scope of a standard Yachtmaster certification.
Most superyachts between 24 m and 3000 gross tonnes fall under the UK’s MCA Large Yacht Code (LYC) authority.
RYA Yachtmaster theory and practical certifications are the entry point to MCA/LYC deck officer qualifications and are, therefore, essential for anyone planning a career as an officer on a superyacht.
By simply adding a one-week STCW Basic Safety course, an RYA Yachtmaster Ocean theory and practical certificate may be endorsed as MCA Master of Yachts (200gt)/OOW Yachts (500gt) unlimited.
From there on, with a combination of sea time and further training, you can work your way up to MCA Master of Yachts 3000 gt and that dream job.
Not ready to commit to a Yachtmaster Ocean programme just yet?
We offer a number of shorter Fast Track programmes, the most popular of which is Yachtmaster Offshore Fast Track.
