New Zealand Certificate in Maritime (Crewing) (Superyacht Crewing)
Have a passion for sailing and a dream to work on a superyacht?
Students will be introduced to all aspects of onboard life and a wide range of skills, including hospitality service. These will prepare you for anything that life as a superyacht crew member can throw at you. It's a great way to transition into hospitality and tourism.
With its busy port and thriving boat culture, Nelson is a great place to gain the skills in seamanship and hospitality you need to work in the global superyacht industry.

During this twelve-week programme, you will gain an introduction to all aspects of onboard life and a wide range of international qualifications that will prepare you for anything life as a superyacht crew member can throw at you.
