Master of Yachts 200gt Unlimited
April 19, 2027 @ 8:30 am - April 23, 2027 @ 3:30 pm
What this course covers
The Master of Yachts 200gt Unlimited course is a five-day celestial navigation course in Hout Bay that teaches you to find your position at sea with a sextant, tables and a bit of arithmetic, with no reliance on GPS. It’s designed for skippers who already hold the Master of Yachts 200gt Limited and want to remove the 150-mile limit, opening up ocean crossings, yacht deliveries and blue water charter work.
You’ll learn to handle and correct a sextant, take sun, star and planet sights, work sight reductions through to a plotted fix, and plan great circle routes and full ocean passages around the weather, finishing with an exam at the end of the week.
On completion you’ll be eligible for the MCA-approved Master of Yachts 200gt Unlimited Certificate of Competency, letting you command commercial yachts up to 200 gross tons anywhere in the world, and from there the path continues to Master 500gt/3000gt.
