international certification to skipper a sailing yacht up to 24 meters, up to 20 nm offshore, at day and night.
IF you already have maritime experience we can offer advanced programmes:
The main problem of most sailing schools is their commitment to the old system of education: students are overloaded with theory. And by the time you go to sea, the necessary knowledge has time to completely disappear from your head.
We at Interparus decided to follow the path of maximum efficiency and benefit for students. The best Western schools (eg DHH or Les Glenans) give their students only the bare minimum of theory, devoting most of their time to practice. And this is reasonable, because new knowledge is much faster and more firmly fixed in memory when it is intensively applied in practice under the supervision of an experienced instructor who is always ready to support and insure.
Also, the experience that we adopted from the old European schools is to start training on yachts no larger than 40 feet. This allows novice cadets not to be afraid of the yacht, and to feel its size.»

The course is conducted both face-to-face in the classroom and on-line in the format of constant interactive communication with the instructor.
The course includes the necessary materials for the qualification of the inshore skipper and the VHF radio operator.
The traditional format of the weekly intensive sailing practice adopted in most modern yachting schools.
The only difference is that we limit our crew to 3 cadets on the yacht, instead of the usual 6-8.
As a result, you get more attention from the instructor and much more opportunities to control the boat and work out all the necessary exercises.
Usually, we use small yachts up to 40 feet, a smaller displacement allows cadets to quickly master the skills of mooring.
In this format of practice, the instructor and cadets live on the yacht and follow the training route.
The premium format of the weekly course is more typical for large European schools such as DHH or Les Glenans.
Master Pro is an individual intensive during which the cadets work as closely as possible with the instructor. Therefore, we allow no more than 2 cadets per yacht.
Cadets live in hotel on the shore* not far from the home marina. Twice a day, the group goes to sea for intensive practical skills training.
Master Pro training is now available at our bases Interparus ATLANTIQUE in La Rochelle and Interparus Adriatique in Porto Montenegro.

Yes, I also want to add that after training you are also led by the hand. Great help was given in choosing a boat for the first exit, choosing a place, possible routes, and this is also a huge plus. Once in Interparus, you are focused on actually going to sea, all the conditions have been created for this to happen. Well, actually, that's what happened to me....
If you want to develop your skipper skills,
we can offer a number of advanced training programs.
You have already studied at other schools, but mooring and moving in the marina cause a little stress? Or have you not gone to sea for a long time and would like to restore your skills?
The matter is fixable. Especially for this case, we have developed a training course for maneuvers and practicing all types of mooring in the marina. Anchoring and buoying.
After 5 days of maneuver training in La Rochelle marina, you will learn how to moor in any wind and during strong tidal currents.
These beautiful double hull yachts are becoming more and more popular in the world and their victorious march is unstoppable.
If you take a multihull cruise even once, you will truly fall in love with them. Interparus is the leading dealer of these wonderful boats in the eastern market and for more than 7 years we have been training cadets on catamarans.
Features of maneuvers in the marina, changing tacks and anchoring on a catamaran - all this you will pass on our catamaran course.
It is easy to make a yacht go fast in a strong wind. What about when you have wonderful sunny weather with a light breeze?
Friends will come to your aid: a gennaker (aka an asymmetric spinnaker) and a sail with the spy name Code Zero.
But don't be afraid of them. You will master the features of Downwind sails in 5 days of sailing practice.
The course is conducted on our Interparus Atlantique meringue in La Rocelle (France).
Do you still think that by cutting off the mass on the battery you will stop the presumptuous diesel? Naive. But do not despair, it is not necessary to be a starmech to know this and other features of the creation of the great Rudolf Diesel.
How to solve minor breakdowns, how to change the oil yourself - you will learn all this in the 2-day course "Do not be afraid of diesel", and you will tame this terrible beast.
Still afraid to go to sea on your own? Feeling lack of experience or you just haven't sailed in a while...
Embark on your first cruise with a mentor captain. You independently develop the route and pass it with an experienced skipper on safety net.
This will help to avoid possible mistakes that lie in wait for beginners, and hone the skills of managing a yacht in the “field” conditions.
It's fun to walk across the open spaces together! Especially if you have open sea in front of you.
Flotillas of young skippers - graduates of the international yachting school INTERPARUS - this is a cheerful company, friendly support and exciting adventures in the most beautiful regions of the planet. Do not miss the chance to go on a new route with friends and like-minded people. This is the easiest way to gain skipper experience under the guidance of an experienced flotilla commander.
It's time to take the helm in your hands and go forward,
for the call of your heart!
