Professional Yachtmaster Training - Durban

Professional Yachtmaster Training

Professional Yachtmaster Training --- To Inform and Entertain...

PYT has come a long way from its humble beginnings around a dining-room table in Durban, South Africa in September 2000 when its assets were a 34' sailboat and a computer.

With the help of a dedicated team of instructors and administrators the PYT facility in Durban has grown into a world-class maritime academy for both professional and leisure seafarers. We offer courses approved by South African Sailing, South African Maritime Safety Authority, International Yacht Training Worldwide and the British Maritime and Coastguard Agency. PYT is ISO 9001 quality management system accredited which is audited annualy by the South African Bureau of Standards.

Word-of-mouth is our biggest advert by far and we have become known for quality instruction, high standards and a personal approach. Once people have become part of the PYT family they tend to return year after year for their next level of training.

PYT reached a milestone in April 2013 when our subsidiary, PYT USA, was granted a licence to offer IYT Worldwide courses in Fort Lauderdale, Florida thereby allowing us to bring our special style of teaching to one of the main centres of the super yacht industry.
