Superyacht Interior Course

There are no prerequisites for this course.

Whether you’re male or female, just finished college or looking for a career change, our Interior Course is the perfect entry into this exciting world. You don’t need any yachting or hospitality experience either, just a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

You must be 18 years old or older to train with Flying Fish.

All crew who want to work on a commercial vessel, including Superyachts, must hold an ENG1 Medical. We recommend you complete the ENG1 Medical before the start of your course, as it confirms you are fit to go to sea. However, it is not a booking condition, so you can book your course without it.
