Hybrid yacht crew training combining 18 online modules with an in-person STCW certification week in Split — deckhand and stewardess programmes built for crew starting out in the industry.
Book direct →Yachtie Careers runs an entry-level training pathway for new yacht and superyacht crew, built around a hybrid model: candidates complete 18 online modules at their own pace and then attend an in-person certification week in Split, Croatia, taught alongside experienced yacht crew. Online access is retained for the longer term, so the theory can be revisited throughout a candidate’s first season.
Two programmes are offered — a Deckhand route and a Stewardess route — each bundling the mandatory certificates a green crew member needs to start work: MCA-accepted STCW Basic Safety Training, ISPS/PDSD security awareness, food hygiene and medical certification, with CV support included. The in-person week takes place in Split, one of the Adriatic’s main maritime hubs, and the company also operates a UK contact line for prospective crew.
The deckhand route combines 18 online modules with an in-person certification week in Split: MCA-accepted STCW Basic Safety Training, PDSD/ISPS security awareness, food hygiene level 2 and ENG1 medical, plus CV support. Priced at €2,940 early-bird (regularly €3,940).
Book on Yachtie Careers →The stewardess route pairs 18 online modules with an in-person week in Split covering interior service skills, MCA-approved STCW and ISPS security awareness, food hygiene and medical certification, with CV support included. Priced at €2,940 early-bird (regularly €3,940).
