About training

You have passed your sailing helmsman exam at CSDD or other international school, your skipper's licence is in hand. You have had some practice at sea, but perhaps you are not yet ready to charter and charter a yacht with your family in the Mediterranean. Would like to gain additional experience and the necessary knowledge to plan a yachting trip.

Practising mooring in the Mediterranean way, stern to the mooring.

Teach basic skills to all members of your crew

Select and book your yacht for hire, recommend a route for your trip

To plan a boating trip, we review 14 points from A. Ivanichkin's book:

Purpose of the trip
Charter dates and period
Region of the trek, weather and wind conditions
Air tickets and transfers
Itinerary and trekking plan
Sights and travel programme
Price guidelines for the cost of the trip
Crew
Selection of yacht
Choice of charter company
Documents and payment
Preliminary Layout
Backup Plan

If you need a yacht mate on your self-supported charter - we will match you with a professional captain or assistant captain for your peace of mind and "supervised" experience.

Why two days of practice?

Many of your crew members are on a yacht for the first time and you plan to go on a charter with them in the Mediterranean. So that your crew knows what to do when you give them commands when mooring, they need training too. And usually the first day is just getting everyone familiarised with the boat, then the second day is consolidating the material.
