Fast forward to today, Flying Fish trains people who are looking for a career on a Superyacht, work in the sailing industry, watersports, or cruise ship.

Superyacht Deckhand Course (Including STCW)

£3,110  GBP

If you would like to travel the world then a job on a Superyacht could be what you are looking for. Our Superyacht Deckhand Course gives you everything you need to start looking for work as a Deckhand.

Working as a Deckhand on a Superyacht is a job like no other. You will spend your days earning money working in the sunshine onboard an incredible yacht in some of the most amazing destinations in the world! To work onboard a Superyacht you’ll need to be hardworking and prepared to be away from home for long periods, but there are fantastic opportunities to advance your career for the right individuals!

Funding your new career

Would you like to pay for your course on finance? A growing number of customers want the option to spread the course fees giving your wallet a bit of breathing space. If this is you then Flying Fish are now able to offer customers the option to spread payment over 12 months in the form of an interest-free finance agreement. Please contact us to find out more.

Superyacht Deckhand Course

Our most popular programme, the Superyacht Deckhand Course includes all the skills and qualifications you need to start your new career. The course starts with STCW Basic Safety Training, VHF Radio, and PDSD (for crew with any security role onboard).

The second phase of the course is designed around the role of a Deckhand, to teach you your role on board. During this week you will cover everything from rope work to wash downs, cleaning, and repairing teak.

Preparing your CV

Having a perfect CV is one of the most important factors in landing that first job. We help you prepare, format, and write your CV during the course, including getting that all-important photo! We run a session on working in the industry that covers everything from paying tax to what to pack. Flying Fish customers benefit from our exclusive recruitment day in Antibes, run by one of our team who has worked in the industry for over 15 years.

Learn to drive a motorboat

The tenders (a smaller boat to accompany the yacht) on today’s Superyachts are getting bigger and bigger, with that in mind Flying Fish now includes a one-day motorboat handling course on our 36′ twin-engine motorboat. While onboard you will show you how to handle lines, drive a twin-engine yacht, anchor, navigate as well as the general engine maintenance and housekeeping expected on a larger yacht.

If you have never set foot on a motorboat then this is a great opportunity to pick up some valuable skills.

Where to stay

If you choose our accommodation option, the Flying Fish crew houses in Cowes are comfortable and centrally located. Just a 2-minute walk to the town and our training centre, this will take the stress out of finding your own accommodation. You will be able to mix and socialise with other people on the course who, like you, will be starting a career in the Superyacht industry.

Two weeks of self-catering accommodation costs £580.

Have you completed an ENG1 Medical?

All crew who want to work on a Superyacht are required to hold an ENG1 Medical. We recommend you complete the ENG1 Medical before the start of your course, as it confirms you are fit to go to sea.

Whether you’re just getting started, need a refresher, or know the ropes and really want to sail for gold, our sailing sessions are tailored to suit you.

We provide all the kit and top notch instructors to make sure you have the best time on the water.  We offer group sailing ‘muck-in’ sessions, private tuition and RYA COURSES.

Muck-in Session

Duration: 2 hours Experience level: Some experience necessary Minimum age: 8 years

Our muck-in sessions are designed for those who have some sailing experience, but want the security of having an instructor (and safety cover) on hand. Take one of our boats to practice your skills, explore the coastline and know that you have a skilled instructor on hand for any pointers.

RYA Onboard Beginners Sessions (for age 8-16)

  RYA OnBoard offers young people the opportunity to try out sailing through their local centre in a safe, structured and fun environment. The programme is aimed at complete novices and those who want to learn the basics of how to sail a dinghy. It will enable those taking part to experience all the excitement and relaxation that being on the water offers, whilst at the same time teaching them a wide range of invaluable life skills, from problem solving to leadership and teamwork.

Adult Beginners Sessions

Our Adult Beginners Sailing Sessions follow the same structure as the Onboard Sessions, but in an adult only environment. 

Private session

Duration: 2 hours Experience level: No experience necessary Minimum age: 8 years if unaccompanied

Private sailing sessions are available with our fully qualified instructors and are suitable for all ages and abilities. Learn to sail from beginner level, or practice more advanced skills with an instructor either in the boat with you, or alongside in a safety boat.

RYA Courses

This all round comfortable boat is great for a family or for someone who wants to go solo. Quite a slow boat but very comfortable which makes it easy for a novice/beginner to learn the basics of sailing. Best used for beginner, muck-in and private sessions.

Getting your family into sailing can be life-changing. Shared enthusiasm and activities forever. The RS Vision is roomy and stable Which makes it a great boat for families and training with plenty of room for at least two trainees and an instructor, or parents with a couple of kids.

The RS200 is the most advanced dinghy we have at Tackt-Isle, but with its simple rig it won’t take long to get the hang of. Perfect for 1 to 1 sessions, thrill ride as crew or if you’re experienced enough with a friend just take it out for a spin with an instructor as cover if you need advice.
