Coastal to Offshore
If Yachtmaster Offshore is firmly in your sights but the jump from Coastal feels… sizeable — you’re not imagining it. We hear it all the time. And we’ve built a course specifically to close that gap.
This is not a tick-box course
It’s a bespoke, confidence-building Yachtmaster development week, designed for sailors who are serious about stepping up.
The Sea Fever Difference
Before you even step on board, you’ll have a one-to-one video consultation with Sea Fever founder, Dónal Boyle, to discuss your experience, goals, confidence gaps and ambitions. No two sailors are the same — and neither are our courses.
Real-World Training on the Water
You’ll then spend an action-packed week aboard a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i, sailing as a team of three Yachtmaster-aspiring sailors. Small group. Big learning.
What the week is really about...
• A 7-day bespoke training programme, tailored to you, while fully covering the Yachtmaster syllabus
• Qualifying passages as required
• Applying theory and first principles to real-world decision-making
• Stepping into the skipper’s role — mindset, leadership, communication and delegation
• Taking true ownership of the boat — planning, troubleshooting, and responsibility
• Calm, constructive personal mentoring focused on confidence
• A detailed end-of-week debrief, with clear next steps on your route to the Yachtmaster Offshore exam
