Key Learning Outcomes

What you'll learn from this course

  • Understand the financial world around the yacht

  • Master budgets, purchasing and payment controls

    Confidently build departmental budgets, manage purchase orders and invoices, handle CTM, cards and wire transfers, and reconcile every transaction with the structure and paperwork that keeps the yacht protected.

  • Lead charter finance, APA and VAT with confidence
