YOA Superyacht Training
YOA Superyacht Training was founded in 2014 and is run by MCA Chief Officer Don McKee, who spent 15 years working onboard some of the finest motor and sailing yachts in the business.
We know exactly what captains and heads of departments are looking for, not only because we have held those positions, but because we are the only school in South Africa that is also directly linked to a crew agency that is placing crew daily.
Your Own Agency or YOA for short is an MLC2006 compliant crew agency with locations in Cape Town, New Zealand, the US & France and has placed hundreds of crew since inception.
We provide first-hand and current insight into the yachting industry and help new deckhands and stewardesses acquire the skills and techniques necessary to confidently start careers at sea.
YOA is with you every step of the way and provide you with support throughout your career.
We look forward to having you onboard.
