Send your sailors farther. Keep them in your training pathway.

A referral programme for RYA and IYT schools: your candidates gain real offshore miles in Thailand, and you retain them as students for the next qualification.

The programme

Offshore miles on a classic yacht.

Seraph is a fully restored classic wooden schooner based in Phuket. Every partner departure is a live-aboard passage through the Andaman Sea: watch systems, night sailing, pilotage and the kind of seamanship that only comes from going somewhere.

What each candidate accumulates

Miles that count. Experience that shows.

RYA and IYT schools send candidates to us when classroom learning needs to become logged sea time.

Qualifying sea miles

Offshore nautical miles logged in tidal waters that count towards RYA Yachtmaster requirements.

Night hours & watch systems

Genuine night sailing and rotating watches — not daylight coastal hops — to satisfy night-passage and watchkeeping criteria.

Skipper & command time

Each candidate rotates through passage-planning, pilotage, close-quarters handling and the daily responsibilities of command.

Signed logbook certification

A completed and signed record of the passage, ready to support Yachtmaster Coastal, Offshore or Ocean applications.
