It's not enough to be capable- we make you unshakeable
professional training
We train you to stay sharp, fine-tune your skills, and always be prepared — for whatever the next day on the water throws at you.
Catamaran Training is for sailors who take commanding a multihull vessel, protecting their crew/family, and conducting real blue-water operations seriously.
This training goes beyond meeting a requirement. It’s an achievement. And it’s reserved for the ocean’s most elite.
THE Catamaran Training DIFFERENCE
The experience gained via our sail training expeditions empowers aspiring multihull skippers and captains with unwavering calmness and composure needed for all situations, from the everyday to the unusual. We raise the bar on training because the resulting confidence and preparation mitigate risk, save lives, and saves money via competent and proficient operations.

Training Pathways
Crew/Dreamer Path
For aspiring sailors laying the foundation. Build core seamanship skills, navigation basics, and boat-handling fundamentals through a blend of online learning and introductory sailing. Perfect for those seeking a strong starting point — whether planning an adventure, aiming to become competent crew, or preparing for their first big step into multihull sailing..
Bareboat charter Path
For skippers aiming for global charter certification. Earn internationally recognized credentials such as the SLC, ICC. Gain the confidence, skills, and real-world experience necessary to charter and safely operate large multihull vessels anywhere in the world.
professional/owner Path
For sailors pursuing liveaboard mastery, multihull ownership, and professional-level qualifications. Train to own and operate large, complex multihulls in demanding bluewater environments, and prepare for major international voyages — from ocean crossings to full circumnavigations. Build the sea time and expertise needed to earn credentials such as the USCG Master, RYA Yachtmaster Offshore/Ocean, or AMSA Master <24 m, and join the ranks of truly unshakeable sailors.
Pathways to experience
Expeditions to Experience
In most sail training programs, there’s no clear path from initial instruction to gain the real-world experience needed to become truly competent — and eventually, unshakeable. We provide that bridge.
Through our sailing expeditions, you join as crew, seeing the world while building the sea time and skills required for advanced credentials such as the USCG Master, RYA Yachtmaster (Europe/Australia), AMSA Master <24m (Australia), or strengthening your sailing résumé to maximize your SLC or ICC.
