YOA Superyacht Training

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

- Zig Ziglar

Before you can dock walk in Antibes or tie lines in Palma, you need the basics locked down:

✅ STCW Safety Certification
✅ Core Deckhand Skills & Seamanship
✅ The right mindset to handle yacht life

Stop scrolling, start planning.

Just under a week to go until our next Deckhand course! ⚓️

Why train with YOA? Simple:
1. Industry-Experienced Instructors: Learn directly from crew who’ve been in your shoes and know what superyacht captains are actually looking for.
2. Hands-On Training: Get real, practical experience - from seamanship and line handling to wash downs and varnish work - so you hit the docks job-ready.
3. Career Support & Networking: We don't just teach you the skills; we help guide your career path and get your foot in the door.

Whether you're aiming to become a bosun, chief stew, or officer, we’ll help you plan your training path and advise on the certifications and experience you need to get there!

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Your path is unique, and so is your training. Start when you’re ready - we’ll tailor the rest!

Knowledge is power, but on the water, it’s freedom. This Women’s Month, we’re celebrating every woman investing in her skills, earning her tickets, and building a career on the open ocean. Train hard, sail far. 💫

Built to handle the sun, salt, and everything in between, whether you’re in training or out on charter. ⚓
