Our company is an IYT partner yacht school. We provide training and IYT certifications up to the Yachtmaster Offshore level.


We also offer theoretical and practical training for yacht captains preparing for the State Certificate examination of the Republic of Estonia.

Our instructors hold higher pedagogical and maritime qualifications and STCW safety certificates. They have extensive sailing experience across most yachting regions of the world and on various types of vessels.

We always take into account your individual needs and preferences, both during training and on pleasure cruises.

For over 20 years, we have been organizing yacht and adventure tours, as well as sports and corporate regattas, and we work with reliable charter partners around the world. We are always ready to help you choose the right yacht and plan the best route.
