International Yacht Training Worldwide

IYT is pleased to introduce a new 3-4 hour Try Sailing course aimed to provide candidates with basic introductory knowledge for crewing a vessel (monohull or catamaran) up to 15 meters in inland or coastal waters <5 miles offshore during daylight hours in moderate wind and sea conditions. It’s a fun hands-on course to enjoy being on the water while learn basic sailing skills. The course was developed on the suggestion of two IYT Partner Schools in Western Australia, Cape t...o Cape Adventure Sailing & Sailing Eventide. We would like to thank Neville Price, owner of Sailing Eventide, for his input! The idea for this course was born due to Covid-19 affecting travel; people are beginning to enjoy sports closer to home which they may not have otherwise engaged in. This is a basic course to introduce sailing to people who believe they might have an interest with no pressure. No theory or final exams. Candidates can enjoy a couple of hours on the water with a qualified instructor giving them basic knowledge to see if the enjoy the experience and potentially want to learn more about sailing. The course covers basic safety equipment, layout of vessel & basic deck equipment, how sails work and rigging, points of sail and basic sailing terms, basic handling skills, and very basic ropework. Students will receive a Try Sailing Couse Completion Certificate at the end of the course which will be issued by the school, not IYT. There is no requirement for students to register for an IYT account ID#. Schools that want to offer this course should complete a School Upgrade Application and Instructor Upgrade Application.

Congratulations to John, Jake, Hayden, Nash and Justin - completed their International Yacht Training Worldwide International Crew and VHF/SRC Certification - t...his time not on a J/24 but aboard Capri 37 "Fortunate Son". Tossing a 13,000lbs boat in breeze around the 10-lane no-wake buoys was... exhilarating (for me) exhausting (for them)! WELL DONE! See more

It has come to our attention that POSEIDON Licensed International Maritime Training Center with main base in Russia has been falsely advertising IYT courses. They have never been authorized to do so by IYT and they are NOT an approved IYT training center. Potential students should be warned not to enroll in any IYT courses offered by POSEIDON https://poseidon123.com/

World of the Winds (also trading as Wowcharter & Moscow School of Yachting) has had its IYT membership withdrawn. Potential students should be aware that despite being warned not to, one or more of these three trading entities are continuing to offer IYT courses which we understand are then passed on to be conducted by unknown third parties. IYT strongly advise that courses should only be booked directly with IYT schools which are listed under ‘Find a School’ on the IYT official website: https://www.iytworld.com and if in doubt about the authenticity of any IYT school, please do not hesitate to contact IYT headquarters at [email protected] https://www.wowcharter.ru/yachts-boats/yachting-study

It has come to our attention that a fake IYT certificate was attempted to be used at one of the charter companies. The name on the fake certificate is Ilia Rukhadze. Please make sure to scan the QR code on the back of an IYT certificate to confirm its authenticity. The QR scan should take you to students profile on IYTnet listing all their qualifications.
