Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing Course - for those who simply can't wait!

After 24 years the Allabroad Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing Course is a proven route for professionals, and a means for leisure sailors to reach professional standards. We encourage any prospective Yachtmasters to come and visit our training facility in Gibraltar for a guided tour, chat to the team and the current trainees. If you can't make it in person we will provide a video call guided tour. We have designed a training centre based on the RYA Yachtmaster Fast Track Pro course, providing the highest level of facilities, accreditation, and equipment available in Gibraltar and surrounding areas. We can take your training to a much higher level fully in-house, without outsourcing to other centres.

We're here to help you learn everything you need to explore the world's oceans safely, and enjoy the yachting industry.

Unrivalled Academy Facilities

Yachtmaster Academy

Yachtmaster Pro - Fast Track to success

The Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing course is built upon 20 years of innovation and feedback from learners, instructors, and examiners.  Because of this,  you will benefit from features such as, for instance:

  • More modern fleet of sailing yachts.
  • Shore-based training and relaxation facilities.
  • Highly efficient, intensive training methods.

The instructional team are experienced in delivering this unique training course, and dedicated to seeing you achieve your goals. Many Allabroad instructors have been with the academy for many years because they share our passion for success.  Because of this, you're trained by instructors at the much higher  'YMI' level, or examiner' level, for example. As such - this is how we manage to complete your Yachtmaster training in such a short time frame.

RYA Yachtmaster and MCA STCW Endorsement

Train at a recognised 'Maritime Academy' and enjoy higher standards, better equipment, extensive facilities, and higher qualified instructors with wider maritime experience. Take advantage of the on site training rooms, extensive shore based training equipment, and variety of additional course options. In addition to this, you will simply learn much more, in less time from instructors with more qualifications and teaching experience.

 When not out on the water you can take advantage of the dedicated shore based training facility in the heart of the marina, 24/7

 Yachtmaster with Commercial and STCW Endorsement

The STCW Basic Safety Training endorsement enables your RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate to be accepted more widely outside of British waters and on other flagged yachts. Because of this, you open up work opportunities on a wider range of vessels, including Superyachts.

RYA Accreditation 24 Years

RYA Yachtmaster Courses Fast Track

MCA Accreditation 16 years

MCA RYA Yachtmaster Fast Track

Without the STCW endorsement, maritime authorities outside British waters may not accept your RYA Yachtmaster certification for commercial use.

The included STCW BST package is a vital element of any professional skipper training course.

When comparing courses, ensure  you are comparing like-for-like as some courses do not include the FULL STCW Basic Safety Training package, and some do not clarify if the training is Yachtmaster Coastal, or Yachtmaster Offshore.  You may see similar looking courses that do not provide all the certification you need,  leading to a requirement for additional training after your course.

Essentially there are 3 levels of yachtmaster offshore, the Allabroad Yachtmaster Fast Track Pro Sailing course provides internationally recognised Commercially and STCW endorsed RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification as per option 1 in the list below:

  1. Option 1: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Commercially and STCW Endorsed (International Commercial Use) 
  2. Option 2: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Commercially Endorsed (Small craft only, UK use only)
  3. Option 3: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (Small craft, leisure use only)

Yachtmaster Fast Track Sailing Course Schedule

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Fast Track courses start at 1800 on the first Sunday. The detailed day to day schedule is based around the short and long term weather forecast at the time, however we aim to complete the theory and safety elements as early as possible in the course so this can be put into practice at sea. When not at sea the training rooms are available to you for self study and revision. Although this is considered a practical course, there is also a large amount of theory to cover too, in terms of total hours learning the ratio is around 70% Practical, 30% theory.
