Курс Yachtmaster Offshore IYT

Yachtmaster Offshore Sail IYT is one of the most advanced courses available. The course is aimed primarily at the filigree mastery of yacht handling skills, both under sail and under the engine.

After completing this course, you will really feel like a part of the yacht, and you will easily manage it in any weather and in any navigational conditions.

Requirements for candidates who decide to take the training course and pass the exam for the Yachtmaster Offshore IYT license

1. The total time spent by a candidate at sea on board a yacht as an active crew member, taking into account the five-day IYT Yachtmaster Offshore practical course, must be at least 50 days, including 30 hours of watchkeeping at night (of which at least 6 hours as captain).

In this case, one day is calculated as 24 hours of net time spent outside the harbor (for example, not at anchor). That is, if for 2 days the ship was at sea 12 hours a day, then exactly 1 day will be counted.

2. The distance traveled, confirmed by appropriate entries in the logbook, must be at least 3000 nautical miles, including 2000 miles on coastal voyages.

3. Ongoing medical examination and color blindness screening, which allows the participant to safely perform his duties on the yacht, including the ability to see and distinguish between the lights and signals of ships and navaids in typical weather conditions without risking himself, other ships and the safety of the ship's operation (availability of appropriate medical card or driver's license).

4. The candidate is certified as Yachtmaster Coastal and VHF Marine Radio Operator.

If the candidate does not have a valid VHF certificate, this course can be taken on board a yacht.
