RYA Yachtmaster Offshore

RYA YACHTMASTER OFFSHORE PREPARATION WEEK

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore is an intensive 10 day course over 2 weeks to prepare an experienced sailor for the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Practical exam, which will lead to an RYA / MCA Certificate of Competence, which is recognised by maritime authorities worldwide.

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore is the most popular qualification for professional sailors in the world. Prior to the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore preparation course you should complete the Yachtmaster shore-based course and sailed for a minimum of 2500 sea miles, including 5 passages over 60 miles and at least two of them as Skipper and two at night.

If you would like to talk to an RYA Instructor, we can arrange for one of our team to call you for a chat and advise you on a good training programme to suit your needs. We want all our sailors to pass the Yachtmaster first time.

RYA Courses From Allabroad

Allabroad in Ocean Village Gibraltar  provide RYA Sail, Motor, Powerboat, and shore based courses. As an accredited  'Maritime Academy' Allabroad go above and beyond most 'Sea Schools' providing extensive marina-side training facilities, and a modern fleet of training vessels. RYA courses are available for complete beginners right through to full commercial Yachtmasters; everyone is welcome at Allabroad. In addition to RYA Courses, for commercial seafarers and Superyacht crew, Allabroad also provide the MCA STCW training courses too.

Modern Yachts, direct from the factory.

Would you hire a 20 year old yacht, for the same price as a new one?  Some sea schools provide old worn out ex-charter, or ex racing yachts with an unknown history.  We consider this an unquantifiable risk, as the operators would have no idea if the vessel had been damaged in the past, in addition older boats are much less reliable than new. However, training on yachts purchased new ensures: increased reliability, the history of the vessel is known, and there are no previously hidden repairs.

Allabroad replace their entire sailing fleet every 10 years with brand new yachts to ensure reliability and safety. 

The current fleet of Jeanneau 389's, are fitted with the very latest in technology, and safety equipment. One thing we all agree on is that sailing should be fun, but above all safe -  and we endeavour to achieve this.

You will find your training yacht has all the latest technology, to help avoid collisions at sea and navigate safely in poor visibility, we insist that all our yachts are fitted with AIS to warn of other vessels and Radar. The latest chart plotting equipment is installed, and you will be trained properly in how to use this equipment to its full potential.

Another useful feature, if you're above average height,  the Allabroad training yachts provide full head room throughout.

We are proud to offer a first rate experience to our customers. So, whatever course you book, from Competent Crew to full Yachtmaster Offshore, with Allabroad you can be sure of a very warm welcome from the dedicated team of instructors and shore side support staff.

 What Our Clients Say

I would like to thank you again  for taking great care of us this week. You made the Day Skipper course a very pleasant and fun experience at the same time thorough teaching. I have learned a lot and I am very eager to practise now.

As discussed, if you can recommend me an on-line Sailing theory course, I will appreciate.

I hope to see you again on a boat or elsewhere,

Many thanks again take care!

RYA Day Skipper Practical Course Student March 14th 2015 photo supplied by Cedrik. Yacht moored in Llafranc Costa Brava Spain

Hi Susie, it's Charlie Hale, just checking in to see if you are all  ok  and to let you know  I just got my first job  as a stew, I'm starting beginning of May!  Thank you  for all of your advice and I'm still going for deckhand but I need to get a season of doing anything first!

Hope everything is going well and that Harry is well to!

Blue Oyster Sailing School is the best intense week I've had . I paid for the prep week and offshore yacht master exam after I failed it twice already. The first day I had help getting to know my crew and the boat which was step by step instruction on how to do the stuff I got wrong on the previous 2 exams. Through the week my Instructor started getting me to understand what it takes to be a skipper and how to control and implement my crew in the best way possible. This helped me so much as this is one of the main things I needed help with. My exam was then organised and I was ready to take it.

I had food prepared for me everyday  by Susie and it was perfect as she did good quantities which meant I wasn't worried about food ever. The crew for my exam was awesome as well they were doing their different courses, like Fast Track YM and Day Skipper. This also helped as it gave me the responsibility as skipper to get my crew working the way I wanted which in turn came across on the exam. So all in all I had a fantastic week with some great people and I became a RYA Yachtmaster offshore YM also commercially endorsed (as they signed me in to get the  PPR course  done on the day after my YM exam as well).  Can't recommend this company enough.
