Superyachts

The Superyacht industry has seen significant growth over the last ten years and with Superyachts increasing in length and complexity the demand for well-trained crew grows too. Working onboard a luxury yacht is very rewarding, personally and financially. You will get to work in the sunshine, have a fantastic time and see the world. Flying Fish offers STCW crew training courses in Cowes, designed for candidates starting a career on Superyachts.

Vessels over 24m

To work professionally on vessels over 24m you must hold STCW Basic Safety Training certificate. The training ensures that you know how to conduct yourself on board, to keep yourself, your fellow crew members and your passengers safe.

STCW for vessels of less than 24m

Although there is no legal requirement to hold STCW certificates on vessels of less than 24m, many employers and professional skippers expect their crew to have STCW certificates to work on smaller boats.
