The YACHT SWISS Academy is a sailing school officially accredited and certified by the ISSA.

The ISSA (International Sailing Schools Association) brings together sailing schools and sailing enthusiasts worldwide and promotes safe, high-quality sailing training, certification, cultural exchange and a lifelong respect for the sea.

Jens is a certified offshore sailing instructor. He is qualified to train inshore skippers, offshore skippers, Master of Yachts and VHF/SRC radio operators, and to conduct the examinations himself.

If you’d like to find out what the entry requirements and course content are for these licences, please feel free to find out more here.

A high level of safety, training quality and a high-quality training fleet are the standards set by YACHT SWISS.

From offshore skipper to survival training – you’ll find the right course here, whether in theory or practice.

For advanced and “sailing cracks” we also offer a variety of advanced courses and special courses, from charter preparation training to regatta and race training on fast yachts and boats. Various special seminars on site or directly on the Mediterranean for small groups and companies round off our range of services.

In addition to your license, you will receive a full week of practical training on the boat. You will learn how to handle the boat, how to moor and cast off and how to anchor safely. As instructors, we have experienced professional skippers with a proven track record of at least 30,000 NM as skippers by day and night at your side.

You can obtain your radio license during a skipper training course or a vacation tour with one of our skippers. In just a few hours, you will learn the most important elements of voice or marine radio – important for communicating in emergency situations, saving lives and avoiding unnecessary costs.

The necessary knowledge and practical exercises are reinforced several times a day. Our successful examination rate is 96%.
