There are lots of things that make Deep Blue Sea Training different to other sea schools. Our instructors are qualified to the highest levels and own the business, so the long-term vision of the school as a Centre of Excellence for training is always uppermost in our minds. This means that we are interested in the long-term future of our students, your careers and aspirations, how you learn, how you enjoy your course and how you talk about Deep Blue. We are the only school in the Western Med to be equipped with a fleet of 2 sailing yachts, our superb Fairline Phantom 46 flybridge motor yacht ‘Deep Blue’ and 2 excellent ribs.

We have invested a significant amount in our bright, spacious classrooms with ergonomic seating, VHF and radar simulator suite, boats and teaching equipment. We also add more to our courses than anyone else both in terms of the time you get with the instructors and the materials we provide for you. For example, on many of our theory courses you get your own training materials to keep, and we provide published text books prior to the course that you can also keep, all within the course price.

At Deep Blue Sea Training, we do NOT hide examiner travel in our up-front course fees. This is a seperate and transparent cost related to Yachtmaster exams and this benefits our students - Further information.

There is no catch. None at all.

We don't cut corners. In fact the opposite is true, we add a number of extras with our courses that you simply don't get anywhere else. We can offer the best prices in the Med because we have invested in all of the things we need to run our school efficiently, and the savings we make we pass over to you. Unlike some schools, we actually run our own boats and our business is owned and managed by working Yachtmaster instructors.

So the people who train you have a vested interest in the long term future of the school, and this makes a real differece to our approach and the very high quality of the training we deliver. We can keep costs down and run more courses, and pass these costs savings to our students through competitive pricing.

Firstly you get personal attention from the start, and expert instruction from our friendly team in bright and spacious classrooms or on board our excellent training vessels. Our offices benefit from loads of natural light, ergonomic classroom seating (we think you should be comfortable if you're going to embark on a theory course), the latest presentation equipment, free WIFI, complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks and chilled water. Our modern boats are fully coded to MCA category 2 (60 miles from a safe haven), have a full compliment of safety equipment, and exceed the highest standards set by the MCA for commercial vessel coding. Many of our courses involve living aboard the boats for several days and we equip our boats with bedding and towels as well as other essentials required on board.

Depending on the course you are undertaking, you will also be given a full set of training materials to assist your learning.

Based at Marina la Lonja in Palma, our modern training boats are fully coded to the highest MCA standards and with our emphasis on safety and reliability these are excellent vessels on which to build your experience and confidence. Our 2021/2022 training fleet comprises of our magnificent new yacht, a Bavaria Cruiser 46 named “Claudi of London’, an ultra-modern and well-equipped Beneteau Oceanis 43 named Ellie Lauren which is an excellent, spacious and comfortable sailing yacht. Our motor yacht, 'Deep Blue', is also berthed at Marina la Lonja in Palma and is a Fairline Phantom 46 boasting powerful twin Volvo Penta turbocharged diesel engines driving shafts/props - quiet, clean and economical by yachting standards, air-conditioned and with a great layout and equipment at both lower and flybridge helms including radar.

Our ribs are a robust Avon Adventure 620 with 6 jockey seats and a powerful yet economical 4-stroke Suzuki 140hp outboard based in RCNP, and our latest addition is a 7m Tiger rib with the latest generation ultra-quiet Suzuki 150hp outboard based in Club de Mar. We use Seadoo jetskis for our jetski courses, and these are available for daily rental to holders of a PWC certificate and/or ICC with PWC endorsement.

All of our boats are available for charter with our without skipper, and we offer special low rates on all rentals for students of the school.

Yes of course. We would encourage boat owners who want to improve their skills and knowledge to train on their own boats whenever possible. You can undertake most of our courses on your own boat if it is of an appropriate size and specification. Please contact us for more information if you’re thinking of learning on your own boat.
