Boat Training Aside from helping beginners learn the ropes, boat training can help boost employability, give companies formal safety qualifications and even lower boat insurance. For private/ non-commercial boat owners, training courses can often significantly lower your insurance costs – make sure to ask your insurer about discounted rates. Go Pro Diving offers two boat training certifications that are administered by an agency called MTCI (Maritime Training & Certification International). This agency is recognised by Malta and is compliant with the Caribbean Small Commercial Vessel Code. They offer the Level I Small Power Boat Operations course which is intended for new and seasoned recreational boaters wanting a licence. They also offer the Level II commercial boating licence which trains and certifies people for carrying passengers, taking night passages, and travelling a further distance off shore. For more information, call Ash McKnight on (345) 925 9092 or visit www.goprocayman.com. The Cayman Islands Sailing Club (CISC) now offers an International Bareboat Skipper Course (IYT). The course teaches you to skipper a boat internationally with friends and family, allowing you to charter a vessel of up to 78' ft long 20 miles offshore, subject to certain conditions (including moderate wind and sea waves). Minimum participation for the course is five people and you must be aged 16 and older to participate. Theory classes are taught by Al Munro – qualified IYT instructor and examiner – on Mondays–Thursdays 5.30pm–9.30pm, and you are entitled to three practical sessions on the weekends.
