Fastrack/Slowtrack Programs
Choose your own start dates! Build in breaks for that business/social commitment, family or just for a break. Take time out from your program and rejoin later or simply take your time and opt for our fully flexible and increasingly popular Yachtmaster Offshore "Slowtrack" programs.
Opt for your own cabin!
Aimed towards professionals, this more flexible approach to the RYA Yachtmaster programs will prepare you for the examination that will give you the most respected yachting qualification in the world.
You choose your pace!
Our instructors will teach you from beginner's basic level RYA Competent Crew, and bring you through the paces, some 2500 nautical miles later to the Yachtmaster Offshore Exam. Alternatively, should you have previous experience, miles or knowledge and join the scheme part of the way through, we will dovetail you into the program at your appropriate level. You will be made very welcome by our team, some of whom have lived and worked here in the Malta for many years.
A great place to learn sailing!
The Malta-Sicily sailing area is one of the best in the Mediterranean for developing sailing skills, offering a mix of coastal and offshore experiences. With crystal-clear waters, steady winds, and year-round sailing, you'll gain hands-on experience in night sailing, heavy weather handling, and advanced navigation while exploring historic harbors and modern marinas.
Malta is an international sailing hub, where English is widely spoken, making it an easy and welcoming place to train. Our flexible Yachtmaster Fast Track program allows you to progress at your own pace, guided by expert instructors. With well-equipped marinas and structured coaching, this is the perfect place to prepare for your Yachtmaster exam and take your sailing career to the next level.
