IYT Chooses JWorld San Diego

J/World San Diego has been selected by International Yachtmaster Training, Inc. to be the exclusive issuer of their Yachtmaster Coastal Certification in San Diego and Orange counties. This first step in the Yachtmaster Training program is a one-week course, which is acceptable for bareboat chartering worldwide, and the first step to a career in the exciting world of professional yachting.

International Yachtmaster Training, Inc. (IYT) is the world’s leader in yacht training for the recreational yachtsman and professional yacht crew. The company has training facilities in the US, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Portugal, Greece, Croatia and Turkey. 20 governments throughout the world recognize IYT courses for both recreational and commercial purposes.

J/World’s selection was based upon their reputation as the premier sail training facility on the West Coast. IYT representative Mark Fry is “delighted to be represented by such a prestigious school”. This selection continues to give credence to the quality of instruction offered by J/World San Diego.

Candidates for this certification should have logged 30 days and 800 miles, including 2 days as watch leader/captain, and 12 hours underway on watch at night. Candidates may sit the course prior to obtaining the minimum sea time. However, they will not be issued their Yachtmaster Coastal Certificate until all requirements have been met.

The Captain or owner of the yacht on which the candidate was sailing must sign verification of yachting experience.

This course will provide you with a thorough knowledge of theory and seamanship skills to confidently handle a yacht. The tuition for this course is $1,995. Please J/World San Diego at 800-666-1050 for more information.
