New Caledonia, an Eldorado for skippers?
17 May 2023Would you like to obtain, or have just obtained, a certificate enabling you to work as a professional skipper? It’s the first essential step in your career as a skipper!
The trick now is to find assignments that “match” the professional licenses you’ve earned. In fact, depending on the patent and its limitations, you won’t necessarily be authorized to carry out all missions.
To help you make the most of the costs involved in obtaining your captain’s license with The Yachter and working as a professional skipper, we would like to introduce you to our partner Capt’n Boat, the approved maritime work platform.
Capt’n Boat the platform for qualified and insured sailors
Capt’n Boat is the platform that connects professional sailors (skippers, captains, hostesses, deckhands…) with shipowners (private or professional), for charter, delivery, coaching or support needs.
Capt’n Boat’s platform allows you to :
✅ Take advantage of a regulated marketplace between professional sailors and private or professional shipowners.
✅ Find seafaring assignments that match your profile: qualifications and training, languages spoken, geographical areas, type of boat…
✅ Benefit from a secure framework: Capt’n Boat issues contracts and provides professional liability coverage for all the platform’s skippers.
✅ Use a maritime “portage salarial” solution whatever the duration of the service, including: maritime employment contract, payroll management, contributions and declarations, repatriation insurance and health insurance.
✅ Discuss mission details with shipowners via Capt’n Boat’s internal messaging system.
✅ Negotiate remuneration and transport costs directly with shipowners.
✅ Receive their wages as soon as the mission is completed: thanks to a trusted third-party system, Capt’n Boat eliminates the risk of unpaid invoices.
✅ Be notified of expiring titles and certificates requiring renewal.
Registration and use of the Capt’n Boat platform is totally free for sailors!

Your The Yachter training reimbursed in 3 to 6 missions
Capt’n Boat endeavors to provide boat owners with market-standard rates.
For example, for charter missions on the Côte d’Azur, Capt’n Boat offers a minimum remuneration of €300 per day, including tax, and €4 per nautical mile for convoys. While the shipowners set the remuneration, the sailors are free to negotiate the price and the coverage of travel expenses by proposing a new remuneration.
The training offered by The Yachter costs between €5,000 and €10,000, depending on the qualifications already obtained by the sailor, his or her experience and the diploma targeted by the training: Captain 200 Master GT, 500 GT or 500 GT unlimited.
This means that you can earn a return on your patent with The Yachtsman in a minimum of 3 missions and a maximum of 6 7-day missions on Capt’n Boat (with a fee of €1,800 incl. VAT)!
Capt’n Boat, a business card for future employers
In addition to offering a range of services, Capt’n Boat collects opinions and ratings from boat owners. These help to enhance your profile and guide customers in their choice of sailor.
The Capt’n Boat Approved label is also a trusted status awarded by the platform to all sailors who have successfully completed +3 missions and have an average rating ≥ 4/5.
This status recognizes the quality of service and real professionalism of all sailors who hold it. This guarantees a better chance of being hired on Capt’n Boat assignments!
