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