“The path to professionalism at sea begins with expert training.”

Basic Yachting Training serves as a professional starting point for participants who wish to step into the maritime world. The program provides detailed instruction on the safe navigation and management of sailing yachts up to 50 feet, both by sail and engine power. Participants gain comprehensive knowledge and skills in areas such as sailing theory, navigation planning, long-distance motor sailing, and safety procedures. Theoretical knowledge acquired during the training is reinforced with practical exercises, allowing participants to gain experience in real sea conditions. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to confidently charter a sailing yacht in Turkey, plan routes, and enjoy safe and pleasant voyages with their families or loved ones. This training not only provides the competence to operate a yacht but also strengthens the participants' connection with the sea by instilling maritime culture, discipline, and self-confidence.
