Yacht Delivery Skipper course

We have chosen Halcyon Yacht Deliveries, one of the UK’s leading yacht delivery companies, for this on-the-job training process.

If you aim to follow further world of delivering boats, this course is for you.

The standard entry certification to work as a delivery skipper is Yachtmaster Coastal, but with this course we go further and include a Yachtmaster Offshore certification (11 days) as well as other crucial training for professional skippers. You will learn which safety checks are mandatory before departure, what are the key aspects of each watch schedules systems available on the market, how to coordinate your crew, to solve life-saving problems such as diesel bug and learn about and the final handover process. On the last lag of the course, we present you with the opportunity to jump aboard an international yacht delivery as part of your training.

We have chosen Halcyon Yacht Deliveries, one of the UK’s leading yacht delivery companies, for this on-the-job training process, because of their market penetration that allows us to present students with more alternatives for this final step on their education, but also because such a relevant demand may help students to start their own professional network in the field.

According to Pete Green the CEO of the company: "at Halcyon Yachts, we are very keen to encourage new sailors to develop their skills and expertise. Any aspiring yacht delivery skippers or crew need to build their experience by sailing on a variety of yachts in different conditions. By combining IYT training with the opportunity to sail on a yacht delivery, the students will come away with both valuable qualifications and real-life experiences. This is exactly what we look for when selecting new crew and skippers to work with us on our deliveries."

The first course Delivery Skipper Mater Training will be 12th-27th May 2023 and will combine a Ocean Passage Faro-Madeira-Faro.

This is a unique course in the industry. If you are interested or simply curious follow the link for more info about this course here>>
