The Navi.training team
The people who open up the sea
Navi.training is built by working skippers and instructors. We teach people to handle a yacht, take responsibility for a crew and make sound decisions where theory meets the real sea.

Who stands behind Navi.training
Our school grew out of real passages, training voyages and years of working with crews. Every course, route and journal article is therefore grounded in experience that can be tested on the water.
Practice comes first
We work through real skipper problems: weather, navigation, manoeuvres and clear cooperation with the crew.
Responsibility for people
A good captain does not perform authority. They create clarity, calm and safety on board.
Knowledge stays with you
Training materials and articles let you revisit difficult subjects after a course and prepare for the next voyage.
