What do we offer?

The Boat Master by ISSA course is one of the most comprehensive training programs preparing participants for professional operation of vessels both on inland waters and in coastal areas up to 10 nautical miles from the shore. It is an excellent choice for individuals planning to work in the motorboating sector or those who want to obtain international qualifications to operate recreational and commercial vessels. A unique feature of this course is its accessibility – unlike many other professional qualifications, Boat Master ISSA does not require prior experience. Anyone who has reached the age of 16 can participate in the training and obtain the certificate. However, Ocean Angels recommends completing a basic crew member course beforehand to ensure better preparation for professional-level learning. The Boat Master ISSA certificate authorizes the holder to independently operate motorboats for both recreational and professional purposes, including towing water skiers and recreational equipment, as well as operating jet skis without engine power limitations. The course program covers key aspects of navigation, route planning, crew management, and emergency procedures such as rescue maneuvers and safety system operations. The training takes place on modern motorboats capable of planing, allowing participants to gain real experience operating fast boats in various weather and navigation conditions.

Who is this course for?

Boat Master ISSA is a unique professional certificate on the market that stands out among other motorboating qualifications. Unlike national licenses or permits, Boat Master ISSA is internationally recognized as a professional qualification, allowing holders to operate motorboats both recreationally and commercially.

Based on current information across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, there is no other certificate of this type in other motorboating organizations, which makes ISSA the only federation officially offering such a document. ISSA possesses recognition documents confirming the status of Boat Master as a professional certificate, which means that its holders can legally work as vessel operators in many countries without the need to pass additional exams.

This training is intended for a wide group of participants, both those who plan a professional future in operating motorboats and those who want to obtain international qualifications exceeding standard recreational certificates.

The Boat Master ISSA course is an ideal choice for:
    - people who want to work as operators of commercial vessels,
     - jet ski operators and recreational equipment operators who want to legally run their business,
     - people working in the water industry, e.g. motorboating sports instructors who want to expand their competencies,
    - motor yacht owners who want to obtain official international professional qualifications,
    - individuals planning to start their own business in the motorboating industry, 
    - motorboating enthusiasts who want to improve their qualifications,

Thanks to Boat Master ISSA, certificate holders gain real international qualifications that allow them not only to develop their passion for motorboating but also to use their skills professionally. The lack of an equivalent certificate in other motorboating federations makes it the best choice for individuals seeking comprehensive international qualifications with the possibility of commercial use.
