Observing the history of yacht accidents and other unfortunate maritime challenges recently, Marco Bitran said "I'm convinced that in the overwhelming majority of these cases the lack of knowledge and experience of captains proved to be the indirect (often the main) cause. Importantly, this does not apply only to the so-called Rookies but often also experienced and experienced sailors.

Discover the secrets of navigation with the use of a sextant, prepare for ocean practice, learn about global meteorology and electronic navigation aids. The Yachtmaster Ocean course is for people with the Yachtmaster Offshore certificate who want to prepare for their first ocean flight and the Yachtmaster Ocean exam.

During the course with Marco Bitran, you will learn all the topics needed to conduct astronomy.
