The ISSA Offshore Skipper for Motor Yachts is a 14 day course that seeks to bring an inshore skipper to an Offshore Skipper standard. The ISSA M/Y Offshore Skipper Certificate is a course aimed at candidates who have completed the ISSA Inshore skipper Motor Yacht course and have about 800NM logged. The recommended duration of the course is 10-14 days to attain the knowledge and skill to be an Offshore Skipper.
An Offshore Skipper is a good navigator and quite an experienced skipper who wants ultimately to become a Yachtmaster Offshore Skipper, (a very experienced Motor Yacht Sailor). This course is the foundation course for the Yachtmaster but the practical assessment is less demanding and rigorous. In essence its the course to train Yachtmaster Offshores, in say, two or three further years.
The aim of the course is to increase the candidates’ competency, to take on the duties of an Offshore Skipper on board a yacht – in daylight or night hours, in coastal waters.
The Yachtmaster Offshore (Sailing) course is the highest level sailing course for recreational yachtsmen. The course is aimed at proficient Offshore Skippers who have the necessary skills, experience, knowledge and managerial qualities required to run a blue water sailing yacht effectively and safely.
