Maritime English from The Yachter: master English for safety on board

The Yachter’s Maritime English is a language guide, with a French translation, designed to facilitate communication between multinational crew members. Specially designed for sailors, it is an invaluable tool for managing emergency situations and ensuring good communication within teams.

Why The Yachter’s Maritime English guide?

When a crew speaks different languages, communication becomes a real challenge. That’s where Maritime English comes in, a solution that standardizes exchanges on board. This guide will help you acquire and master the essential terms needed to deal with critical situations. Critical situations in which you can sometimes lose your cool and your English vocabulary, which is essential if you want to be understood quickly and accurately.

This guide covers all the basic English vocabulary needed to make a distress call, deal with an emergency or carry out maneuvers. It also helps you master the language of everyday navigation, so you can communicate effectively during crossings.

The Capitaine Master 200 GT and 500 GT licences are valid in 191 French- and English-speaking countries, making them indispensable to sailors. It is therefore essential for our sailors and Yacht Masters to have a perfect knowledge of technical terms in English. Regular use of this guide improves the language skills of captains and crews, reinforcing their autonomy when dealing with external partners, such as port authorities or other vessels.

A very useful resource for on-board crews!

The Yachter’s Maritime English is now available in digital format, which is easy to download and store on a tablet or phone.
