We tailor our training to meet your specific requirements, as well as your individual needs and questions. No question remains unanswered. We strive to provide you with comprehensive training and a lasting education. 

In seafaring, the motto applies especially: Ignorance is no excuse! And that's not all: the further you intend to venture from land, the more your life will be at stake. 

Seafaring isn't always fun; it can quickly become life-threatening, and that's precisely when it's crucial to act correctly and decisively. That's what we train you for!

We provide you with individual and sustainable training!
