Why choose Professional Yachtmaster Training USA ?

"Besides our high success rate, here are a few more reasons we should be your #1 choice when it comes to choosing a yachting school..."

1. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!
No surprises, no hidden costs (such as exam fees, or boat hire). We have a professional commercial certification, not just an 'endorsed' leisure ticket, and a full MCA approval for 200T Masters Certificates.

2.NOTHING BUT THE BEST.
Our full range of MCA approved courses are always changing and improving, and so are we. Our expanded facility and high standards for teaching the future of the yachting industry are only surpassed by the established reputation we hold among past students.

3. THE PERSONAL APPROACH
Our small class sizes, with quality hands-on training will make you feel right at home. You may start off as a stranger, but you'll leave feeling like family.
