INTERNATIONAL CREW

The International Crew course give a basic understanding of the knowledge that is required to be an active crew member onboard a yacht.

If you would like to reach this level and you are starting as a beginner, consider our International Crew Package. The level of instruction in the International Crew Course is more advanced than that of the Introduction to Yachting course, paying greater attention to technique and the mechanics of boat speed.

The course is run over a weekend from 9am - 4pm (subject to change) both days
