IYT Master Of Yachts 200 Tons Limited (Previously Known As Yachtmaster Offshore)
This Certificate of Competency allows the holder to be in charge of a yacht up to 200 gross tons within 150 nautical miles of safe haven and/or to legally stand a watch on a yacht up to 500gt. It is also one of the requirements for entry to the MCA Officer of the Watch (Yachts) program (see MCA structure) and is the first step on the professional yachting promotion ladder.
While intensive instruction will be given, it must again be stressed that this course is not for beginners. Candidates should feel that they are ready for command and have the necessary qualities such as situational awareness, sense of responsibility, leadership ability and basic boat handling skills. The practical instruction can only be expected to formalize and give structure to candidates’ ability to command, not to teach from scratch. A person who cannot sail and/or has never maneuvered a powerboat in close-quarters cannot reasonably expect to pass.
The final day of the practical course is given over to a practical examination by an IYT Examiner who will assess candidates’ practical ability, their underpinning knowledge and their command ability by means of an extensive oral and practical test on a yacht (either power or sail). Candidates can expect to be examined on any subject covered by the syllabus of the theory or practical courses and to be questioned on any aspect of their yachting experience to date.
