Everything you need to work professionally — bundled, structured and supported.
If you want to earn money skippering yachts, the pathway is clear — but the paperwork, courses and sequencing can feel overwhelming. Our Commercial Skipper Bundle brings everything together into a clear, efficient route from qualified sailor to legally endorsed professional.
This bundle is designed for sailors who want to work properly, legally and internationally.
What Is the Commercial Skipper Bundle?
The Commercial Skipper Bundle combines the mandatory training and certification required for an RYA Commercial Endorsement, with guidance on eligibility, timing and next steps.
Instead of booking courses piecemeal, you get:
- A clear professional pathway
- Courses delivered in the right order
- Support to ensure nothing is missed before application
What’s Included in the Bundle
This bundle includes (or can include, depending on your starting point):
- RYA Yachtmaster Coastal or Offshore (prep week and exam)

- Guidance on obtaining your ENG1 Medical
