The Motor Cruising Yachtmaster Prep course and exam is a preparation course during which our instructors will offer tips and advice on the standards expected during the exam, as well as coaching on any areas you may be weaker in, before taking the exam.

 

To qualify for Yachtmaster Motor Cruiser, you must have been on a vessel of no more than 24m. Should the vessel be longer than 24m, then only half your sea miles count. You must be able to live aboard. Therefor must have heads and galley. The vessel must have inboard engines.

 

To qualify for Yachtmaster, these are the following pre requisites:

  • 50 days at sea

  • Acting as skipper for at least two of these passages
  • Including two which have involved overnight passages
  • 5 days experience as skipper
  • Shorebased courses, which consist of Day Skipper theory and Coastal Skipper theory (the theory modules stay the same, whether you would like to qualify at coastal or offshore level of competency). The difference comes with the sea miles.

  • Should you be working on a commercial vessel, you will need the full STCW 2010
