Our Pocket Superyacht Management Application is now available!

Our Pocket Superyacht Management Application is now available! Just like last month we can share an exciting development at Invisible Crew. In the January issue of the Islander we announced that our training “How to (find) work on Pocket Superyachts.” will start this year. At the time when this issue appears our first online sessions will be in full swing. We are proud to let you know that our Pocket Superyacht Management Application is finally tested and ready!

My biggest concern was that people would not want to pay for yet another course after they’ve done their Basic Safety and Yacht master courses. These are the only two certificates that are officially required to skipper a Pocket Superyacht and as important as they are, they don’t prepare you for the full extent of the job.
