Who it's for

Power Offshore Skipper ISSA

For people who have already spent time at sea and want to skipper bigger motor yachts on real passages: leaving the coast, running at night, handling weather and traffic.

You train on the open Atlantic off Tenerife, not in a sheltered marina. By the end you can plan and run an offshore passage on a motor yacht, day and night, on your own.

The certificate is issued by ISSA and accepted by charter companies in Europe, the Caribbean and worldwide. It never expires.
