Amazing experience with both the STCW and GUEST interior training. The biggest plus with Seascope compared to other maritime schools is the amount of hands on training. The instructors want for you to thoroughly understand and master the course objectives and truly want the best for you. Erin Hill

I can not recommend Sophie and the team at Seascope highly enough. They went out of their way to accommodate myself last minute and the course was of the highest standard. I will definitely return! Alan Vermeulen

Master (Code Vessels <200gt) OOW (Yachts <500gt)

Seafarers serving on UK Coded Vessels (24m-3000gt) with MCA qualifications have found some overseas administrations will not accept their qualifications.

This is usually due to there being no reference to STCW 95 on Yachtmaster Certificates. The Master 200gt is designed as a bridging qualification between the RYA Yachtmaster / Yachtmaster Ocean and MCA Deck Officer Structure. Holders of Yachtmaster Offshore and Yachtmaster Ocean certificates may apply to upgrade on a voluntary basis.

Candidates can upgrade the following qualifications: Yachtmaster Offshore to: STCW Master (Code vessels less than 200gt not more than 150 miles from a safe haven) / Officer of the Watch (Yacht less than 500gt). Yachtmaster Ocean to: STCW Master (Code vessels less than 200gt unlimited area) / Officer of the Watch (Yacht less than 500gt).

All RYA/MCA Commercially Endorsed Yacht Skippers must now complete the Professional Practices and Responsibilities (PPR) Course unless MCA Master 200gt or above. Holders of MCA Officer of the Watch, Master 200 and Master 500 certificates (post 1995) are exempt from (PPR). They must send a copy of their MCA certificate with their commercial endorsement application form/renewal.

The on line course has to be completed prior to endorsement or every 5 years on Commercial revalidation. Our RYA Theory Course page has further information.

Blue Oyster Maritime Training RYA Professional Practices and Responsibilities (PPR)

Why the course was created:.

The Superyacht Chef Competition 2024

Held at the Yacht Club de Monaco under the aegis of YCM’s La Belle Classe Academy training centre in partnership with Bluewater, the annual Superyacht Chef competition highlights gastronomic excellence. This is the 14th event for Bluewater and the 5th co-hosted with the talented team at Monaco Yacht Club.

This event is unique in bringing together yacht owners and yacht club members with their captains and crew, all cheering on their chefs.

On Thursday 4th April, nine chefs will showcase their culinary prowess.  Bluewater’s Head of Recruitment, Sharon Rose, has confirmed the participants this year, but is remaining tight-lipped with any comments on front contenders! “ T he talent this year is exceptional, it’s going to be a tough one for the judges, and I can’t wait to see Marco Tognon sitting on the panel! It will be a fantastic day.”

• Melvin Costaglioli – MY BLACK LEGEND
• Enzo Di Garbo – MY L.A.U.L
• Ava Faulkner – MY LIGHT HOLIC
• Jérémie Gruson – MY VICTORIA DEL MAR
• Margot Laurent – MY LEONARDO III
• JoelyAnne Lefaucheur – MY ARTEMIS
• Paulo Longhin – MY HERCULES
• Mateusz Mitka – MY LADY BRITT
• Giacomo Seregni – MY SEVERIN’S

As leaders of their profession, superyacht chefs are creative and knowledgeable.   Bluewater’s Director of Training, John Wyborn, expressed his enthusiasm for the annual chef competition. “This event is a thrilling experience for everyone involved, with Michelin-star judges overseeing the competition among talented yacht chefs. Bluewater has been in the industry for 33 years, and this competition highlights the great strides the industry has made since then, with exceptionally high standards expected from all crew members onboard. Bluewater takes pride in collaborating with the Monaco Yacht Club and La Belle Classe Academy to organise the 5th Superyacht Chef Competition.”

Last year, Chef Marco Tognon from M/Y Planet Nine claimed top place during the competition with Chef Tommaso Santoni from M/Y Paloma coming second.

Recently, Chef Marco Tognon teamed up with YCM Executive Chef Renato Secchi to create a traditional “four-hand” dinner. The gourmet evening benefited the Association Antoine Alléno , honouring Chef Yannick Alleno’s late son.

I have interviewed many of the competing Chefs over the past few years who have a great sense of camaraderie even though they all work on vessels of varying sizes.  It’s always lovely speaking to them about their backgrounds, with the Chefs undertaking everything from apprenticeships with Michelin restaurants to baking bread and setting up their own businesses before gaining yacht chef jobs.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The first three chefs are called for round 1, the mystery boxes are unveiled, and the audience is given 60 seconds to choose an ingredient to add in, so adaptability and improvisation to make quality dishes are crucial.

Michelin-starred Chef Glenn Viel will be watching over their shoulder, gastronomic TV and radio presenter Vincent Ferniot is holding court getting ready to start the countdown of 40 minutes, the chefs are in the pantry perusing a wide range of luxury produce and exotic condiments from Metro and Gourmet Deliveries , all to add to the spectacular recipe they’re working through in their heads.  Then we do it all again for two more rounds, with more mystery boxes, before heading into the grand finale after lunch.

AGENDA 09.50-13.40: Three rounds, each with three chefs. 13.40-14.30: Jury deliberation and lunch break. Food trucks will be available. 14.00-17.00: The Bluewater and GDT bar serves complimentary drinks. 14.30: Announcement of the three finalists! Straight into the grand finale. 16.45-18:00: Announcement of the winner and the prize-giving ceremony.

THE JURY FOR THE SUPERYACHT CHEF COMPETITION 2024

This year, Chef Glenn Viel, a three-star chef at the Oustau de Baumière and a member of the Top Chef jury, is joining the event. Chef Joël Garault, the president of Goûts et Saveurs, will supervise the proceedings, and Chef Marco Tognon , the 2023 winner, will also be on the judging panel.  Chef Danny Davies, Cheffe Victoria Vallenilla and Chef Julien Roucheteau also hold a spot on the jury.  Additionally, Chef Duncan Biggs from Ocean Wave Monaco will oversee the produce being used and discarded as the ‘anti-waste’ judge.  For the full jury lineup, see here:   Superyacht Chef Competition Jury

Antibes Yachting announces official partnership with BLADE Monaco

I am happy to announce that Antibes Yachting is an official commercial partner with BLADE.

Four years ago, Monagasque operator Monacair bought Héli Sécurité in Saint-Tropez.  A deal between Monacair and BLADE was then completed in May 2022.  Then, in June 2022, Monacair bought Azur Hélicoptères in Cannes.  In total, the group now has a fleet of around 30 helicopters. Under the agreements, BLADE agreed to buy the routes and heliports, however, the three operators will retain their fleets with Blade being their sole customer, extending an asset-light strategy in which the US group has sought to put its brand on the most popular routes served by helicopters before the expected arrival of a new generation of electric vertical aircraft, known as eVTOLs or EVAs.

About BLADE

BLADE is a technology-powered, global urban air mobility platform committed to reducing travel friction by enabling cost-effective air transportation alternatives to some of the most congested ground routes in the U.S., Canada or in Europe. No company flies more people in and out of city centres than BLADE.

© PhotoBlade

In Europe, you can book by-the-seat on 7-minute scheduled flights between Nice and Monaco and you can charter from the BLADE Lounges from Monaco, Nice Airport, Cannes, or Saint-Tropez all year long, as well as helicopter tours.

During winter season, BLADE provides charter flights from Geneva, Zurich, or Archamps Airport to the most prestigious ski resorts in the French and Swiss Alps such as Courchevel, Méribel, Megève, and Chamonix.

Today, the Company predominantly uses helicopters for its passenger routes and is also one of the largest air medical transporters of human organs for transplant in the world. Its asset-light model, coupled with its exclusive passenger terminal infrastructure, is designed to facilitate a seamless transition to Electric Vertical Aircraft (“EVA” or “eVTOL”), enabling lower-cost air mobility to the public that is both quiet and emission-free.

To book your BLADE transfers and helicopter tours

The most requested line is Nice Airport to Monaco .  During summer, there is also Saint-Tropez, Cannes, and Italy.  Helicopter transfers for major events such as the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Yachting Festival, and Monaco Yacht Show are extremely popular.  During the winter, mountain destinations are attractive including Courchevel, Geneva, Gstaad, and Switzerland in general.

To book your BLADE transfer or helicopter tour for the French Riviera, Monaco, or ski destinations, contact me by email: [email protected]

Markets in Antibes

Discover the top Antibes markets

Market days are a way of life in Provence and the Cote d'Azur. They originated in the 12th century, when farmers and craftsmen would come to nearest town to sell their wares, or engage in bartering agreements.

Not much has changed since those days - the market is still the place to come for locally grown produce of all shapes and sizes.

Check our Events Calender to find out the dates and times of markets and other events throughout the year.

Types of Market

You can expect to find two common types of market in the Antibes region, the farmers market and the Provençal market.

The farmers market This is where you'll find the fruit and vegetable of the local region on sale, plus meat from the butcher, bread and cakes from the baker, cheeses, herbs and spices. Anything to do with food really! This is the kind of market that all the larger villages offer. Prices tend to be higher than you would find in the supermarket, but the taste and the quality of market-bought goods simply does not compare. The climate in Provence lends itself so beautifully to farming that much of the produce in the market is organically grown and likely to have been picked the day before.

The Provençal market (Marché Provençal) These markets tend to be much larger, with all the fresh produce described above, with the addition of clothing, fabrics (napkins and tablecloths are most popular), ceramics and other local crafts, costume jewellery, leather goods, the list goes on...

Flea markets Flea markets are also popular - they are known as Marché aux Puces or La Brocante (secondhand goods). They tend to occur once a month at selected locations, usually on a Sunday.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
