Calling all new deckies!
As I am sure most of you are aware, it takes an enthusiastic spirit, a hard working attitude and a bit of good luck to land yourself that dream job on the perfect boat. You will however, also have noticed that these good qualities are sometimes not always enough to seal the deal. A certain set of qualifications are now becoming an absolute must for hiring Captains and their yachts. The STCW95 Basic Safety Training is of course a new crew members first priority. Secondly though, and especially for deckies, is the good old ‘Tender License’. Now, you may have heard several different names for this license making not only figuring out what it is and what you can do with it a hardship but also finding out where you can do it, and finding the best Yacht Training Center for you a bit of a mission.
