What's the big deal?

"What's the big deal?" you might ask. Well, imagine being the first establishment to offer aspiring Superyacht crew a complete package deal: Food, Accommodation, Theory Training, Practical Workshops, Transportation, and even a Gym facility. Gone are the worries about where your next healthy meal will come from, the quality of your accommodation, or your safety. We've carefully selected the tranquil coastal town of St. Helena Bay as the perfect setting to nurture the next generation of Deck Crew. Here, amidst the serene beauty of the West Coast, we provide everything you need to kickstart your career in Yachting with confidence and peace of mind.

It's not just about training; it's about creating an environment where aspiring crew members can thrive and succeed, returning the highest standards to the industry. That's the big deal.

Why St. Helena?

We selected St. Helena Bay as the ideal location for presenting the Elite Deck Hand Course for several compelling reasons. Historically significant, it holds the honor of being the place where Vasco da Gama first set foot ashore, infusing the area with a rich maritime heritage. This tranquil and safe fishing town on the West Coast of South Africa provides an immersive environment, free from the distractions of the bustling city. Moreover, its proximity to Yacht Port SA, a prestigious superyacht shipyard where our practical sessions will take place, offers unparalleled convenience. Additionally, our crew house situated in the esteemed Shelly Point Golf Estate provides a comfortable and conducive living space for our students, ensuring they have the perfect balance of learning and comfort during their training.
