Commercial Yachting 500 GT

The Antwerp Maritime Academy offers a training programme in Commercial Yachting. This training is aimed at the crew of pleasure craft used for commercial activities, with a gross tonnage lower than 500.

Scope

The Commercial Yachting course has been designed to meet the requirements of the STCW Convention 1978, as amended, Table A-II/1 and A-II/2.

Objective

The programme consists of various modules leading up to four different Certificates of Competence:

Officer of the watch up to 200 nautical miles out of any coast
Master up to 200 nautical miles out of any coast
Officer of the watch unlimited
Master unlimited

You can start with the training for any of the above-mentioned certificates. These are built progressively so it is possible to start with the Officer 200' en gradually continue on to the Master unlimited. However, this is not mandatory.

This modular training structure also makes it possible to spread the commercial yachting training over many years.
