FIRST MATE COURSE
Goal:
To enable you to act as a crew aboard a
power yacht capable of worldwide or coastal passagemaking.
Skills you can acquire
from the Captain, Mate, and Chef
Items Included: All courses include a Captain,
Mate, and Chef who are your instructors. All gourmet meals,
beverages (including wine and beer) are provided. This is a highly
individualized and personal attention course with ample time for enjoying the
voyage! Please
remember that this is a passage from Seattle to Sitka
in the Spring and its return in the Fall from Petersburg and will focus
more on the trip rather than
shore time activities or fishing and kayaking as can be experienced best on
one week trips in
Alaska. Cruising options in Alaska are less structured due to shorter
distances to travel and if you are interested in reserving the boat for a
training cruise in Alaska, customized trips can be arranged.
