Become a captain
“We have been training, growing
and traveling together since 2016 ”

The freedom of traveling, the salty wind in your hair and the rippling waves below deck - this feeling is hard to convey and impossible to forget.

Year after year we create a community united by this unusual hobby.
There are very different people among us. But looking into each other's eyes, we understand that we are of the same blood.

Stories of young captains
Yurii Zayarnyi

«Yachting may not have changed my life drastically after training, but it definitely changed my attitude towards life. How? First of all, it is a feeling of freedom, when every morning you decide where to go, and no one knows how this day will go and how it will end. It is both exciting and at the same time very addictive. Also - a sense of control and responsibility not only for yourself, but also for the yacht, and most importantly - for other people on this vessel, which does not want to moor in the right way.»

Valentin Koryako

«By nature, I am a very unsystematic person, and in order for everything in life and work to go in the right direction, I build different systems. Yachting echoes this: on the one hand, there is an opportunity to spend the night in a new interesting place every day, on the other hand, you need a general plan for the whole week and several plans for every day. Such unpredictability and dynamism, combined with a plan and a sense of control, appeals to me very much.»

Ivan Kulinich

«I got hooked on a yacht accidentally, but it affected me seriously and for a long time! My goal №1 was to get a license and go out to sea as a skipper. And thanks to professional and experienced Fleet5 teachers and instructors, I achieved my goal even faster than I could have expected. And the knowledge that was embedded in my head will be enough for a trip around the world, what’s left is to confirm it in practice) For which I am sincerely grateful to the whole Fleet5 team!»

Dima Usov

«My love for the sea has lived in me since childhood. It could not be otherwise with the person born in Mykolaiv. But in "adult life" all my maritime hobbies seemed frivolous and felt like a waste of energy and time. And so it was until this summer, until I got into the Fleet5 yacht academy. With the teachers, instructors and managers of the academy, I made my most important journey - the journey to my real self. Thank you very much for this, dear team of the Academy. Keep in touch!»

Maxim Khomutin

«Yachting with Fleet5 started absolutely spontaneously for me: cold February 2020, the first lockdown, Facebook feed, Fleet5 ads, and I’m already a student of an online course. I had absolutely no hopes of getting the captain’s license, did not plan to travel around the world.I just wanted to quarantine a little more interesting than watching TV shows. In fact, yachting fascinated me so much that I didn’t notice how I finished the course, went through both practices (Andrey Ivanov, hello!), Got an IYT license, signed up for an expedition from Mallorca to Gibraltar, booked my first charter and, I’m sure, this is just the beginning. My sincere advice: sign up for a theoretical course, and if you like it, dive in! See you at sea!»
