The minimum entry requirements to gain the Yachtmaster Coastal CoC are 25 days and 800 miles at sea including 2 days as watch leader and 12 hours underway on watch at night.

It has come to our attention that it has not been made perfectly clear to all IYT Worldwide yachtmaster candidates that this certification is for recreational use only and may never be upgraded to a professional certificate. Therefore, we require all candidates taking a recreational IYT Worldwide Yachtmaster Coastal, Offshore or Ocean course to complete an acknowledgement prior to taking the course.
