The advantages of holding an International Yachtmaster’s Certificate ® and why you should choose International Yacht Training's recreational courses with Club Sail, Sydney, Australia.

  • The International Yachtmaster ® Coastal, Offshore and Ocean certificates are recognised by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) for entry into their Master of Yachts Certificate of Competency.
  • The IYT Yachtmaster ® qualifications are recognised by insurance companies worldwide.
  • Also included is the issue of your Australian Yachtmaster certificate.
  • Yacht owners are always looking for highly experienced crew to command their vessels. Holders of the prestigious IYT Yachtmaster ® qualifications are most highly sought after for their recognised knowledge of nautical studies and proven practical competence and training.
  • Your IYT training will prepare you for a safe and rewarding experience on your own yacht, rental yachts, or aboard a friend's yacht.

Have you considered a career as a captain or a crew on a super yacht? Maybe you are thinking of making a career change, filling a gap year, or choosing your profession upon leaving school. This could be the opportunity of a lifetime to fulfill your dream of working internationally on a Super Yacht or in the Maritime Industry.

Work as a professional captain or crew on megayachts

The Superyacht Crew Academy is a division of Club Sail, a partnership school of International Yacht Training, Inc., offers professional sail and motor vessel IYT training courses. In addition to professional level courses, we offer recreational IYT courses that parallel the training under the Australian s.

IYT Certificates are MCA recognized allowing you to find employment on mega yachts registered in 23 countries around the world no matter where the yacht is located.

All commercial charter vessels require certified masters/captains and crew. Most insurance companies now require that all paid crew have MCA approved yachtmaster certificates and the STCW95 courses.

IYT Professional Yachtmaster Courses are for advanced participants with certain requirements of pre-course experience. These are referred to in the details of each course below.

You are not precluded from these courses as a recreational sailor, in fact we highly recommend the extra depth of knowledge and certification to anyone. For those that are starting out afresh as a novice, The Superyacht Crew Academy offers the "Fast Track" course options.

If you fall in between and are not a novice but don’t quite have enough experience to meet the required levels for the courses then we will tailor the course options just for you. This means you won't have to take courses you have done before.

For example, maybe you need a few more offshore miles or an International Bareboat Captain/Skipper course or a VHF course. Whatever you require, just give us a call and we will be happy to talk through your personal circumstances.

After you have your IYT certificate, The Superyacht Crew Academy will assist you with placement. For information about professional Superyacht Crew placements, click here.
