Safety Captain - Yacht charter with a captain for safe vacations

Mentor on board – confidence on your first independent itinerary

Have you just received your skipper’s license, completed your training and are ready for your first solo charter? It’s an exciting time – and this is where it’s important to feel supported. We have created the Safety Captain service for those who want to take their first step as a captain safely and confidently.

What’s that?

You become the captain of your own charter boat with an experienced instructor on board. He doesn’t take the helm, but helps you learn skills, fill in the gaps, and take you through all the steps – from boat acceptance to delivery – in real conditions, under your control but with his support.

How does it work?

  • You book the yacht and act as the official captain
  • Our instructor goes with you as a mentor/guide
  • You go through the entire route with full responsibility, but under supervision and with the possibility of adjustment
  • In process: repetition of maneuvers, moorings, anchorages, route planning, chartplotter and VHF operation
  • At the end of the journey, a detailed breakdown of mistakes, recommendations, and an additional block of training if needed

Who’s it for?

  • You have received your license but don’t feel ready to go out on your own
  • I would like to get through my first charter stress-free and with supervision from an experienced skipper
  • You need to remember everything you’ve forgotten from your training
  • Want to hone your technique in real-world conditions, not on a training boat
  • Looking for confidence before future travels with friends or family

Who are your mentors?

All of our Safety Captains are professional instructor skippers with thousands of nautical miles and dozens of successful regattas and voyages under their belt. They know how to explain simply, support and share their experience without taking over.

What you’ll get:

  • A true solo yachting experience
  • Honest feedback and advice
  • Increased confidence and training
  • Readiness for future independent charters

Want to take your first step as a captain – consciously and calmly? Take Safety Captain with you and let this journey be the start of a great sea voyage.
