WHY THE MCA IS IMPORTANT
  

What is so important about the MCA?

This is the premier certification authority in the industry, and the main one geared for the megayacht industry.

There are others, namely the RYA and IYT qualifications, however, these only ascend to Yachtmaster level, which is fine for recreational sailing and crewing, but insufficient for someone pursuing a serious career in the sailing industry.

PYT is the only academy in the Southern Hemisphere that offers the full range of MCA Megayacht courses up to chief mate level.

By the end of 2008, the Master (500t) will be in place.

This is all an indication of the serious investment that PYT has made in professional megayacht training and why it is highly regarded by charter management companies.
