Become a Super Yacht Expert
“…having worked in the Yachting industry since 1998, I thought that I had a relatively broad scope of knowledge of this area….and this was wrong. Having just finished the Yachting Masterclass, I am still amazed at how many facets this industry has that I was not aware of before (or had neglected, wrongly interpreted, plain ignored, only peripherally touched,…)”
– Martin Hasselmann
