Who Our Courses Are For
What makes us different to other schools?
At Java Yachting, we teach all courses liveaboard, as we feel that the best way to learn is by spending extended periods aboard a yacht. Using this method and our specially designed training plans and materials, we give our students all the experience necessary to either charter a yacht, work on a yacht or even own a yacht.
