• ISSA – International Sailing School Association – one of the most popular and prestigious sailing associations.
• Lifetime – this license does not require renewal or extension. It is issued permanently.
• Day+Night – this type of license allows you to operate a yacht at any time of day after the required practice.
• ISSA Inshore Skipper – the ability to charter yachts and catamarans up to 24 meters almost anywhere in the world.
200+ nautical miles of practical experience Practice and theory take place on modern yachts equipped with everything necessary for comfortable living. The first day is dedicated to vessel check-in, crew placement, and household tasks (buying food and water, preparing the boat before going to sea). The following days trainees study yacht systems, practice sail handling techniques, and master mooring. Each day includes morning theory and practical drills at the helm, while evenings are devoted to analyzing real and theoretical sea situations, helping to avoid mistakes in the future. At the final stage, each participant becomes a captain for a day: planning the route, keeping the logbook, coordinating the crew during maneuvers. After completing the program, participants pass an exam and receive official documents — the ISSA Inshore Skipper license and the VHF radio operator license.
Training takes place in comfortable groups of up to 5 trainees — this allows maximum practice and real yacht-handling skills.
Instructors hold the Yachtmaster Offshore qualification. Their experience is invaluable — and they share it with every student.
We teach not only yacht handling, but also requesting mooring, refilling water and fuel, and performing yacht inspection at the marina.
All essentials are provided on board: bedding, towels, kitchen utensils.
Training takes place in the waters of the Turkish Riviera, Saronic Gulf (Greece), Portugal (Lisbon), and Norway (Bergen) — choose your location!
Our onboard intensives are the best choice for those who want to quickly obtain a skipper license and learn confident boat handling.
