Small Powerboat & RIB Master Training

Service Description

How do I get my Small Powerboat & Rib Master certificate commercially endorsed? The IYT “Master of Yachts” and the IYT “Small Powerboat & RIB Master” certificates do not require a “commercial endorsement” because they are commercial certificates. The MCA has recognised three levels of IYT Master of Yachts Certificates and the Small Powerboat and RIB Master Certificate as being “Commercial” in their own right. They are: Master of Yachts Coastal/Mate 200 gross tons and Master for vessels < 24 m Master of Yachts Limited <200 gross tons Master of Yachts Unlimited <200 gross tons Small Powerboat and RIB Master The “Yachtmaster” certificates issued by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) are recreational certificates and these certificates do require a “commercial endorsement” if one wishes to work commercially.
