Yachtzoo Joins Leading Superyacht Organisations Supporting Maritime Training Academy

Maritime Training Academy (MTA) is delighted to announce that Yachtzoo has agreed to support four of our specialist superyacht training programmes, further strengthening the connection between our professional education and the wider superyacht industry.

Yachtzoo will support the Superyacht Management, Superyacht Project Management – Refit & Newbuilding, Yacht Brokerage, and Superyacht Charter Brokerage and Management programmes.

Yachtzoo is an internationally recognised name within the superyacht industry, with extensive experience across yacht management, brokerage, charter and related services. Their support provides another valuable connection between MTA’s training programmes and the professionals working within the industry today.

Darrell Hall, Co-founder of Yachtzoo, said:

“Having founded Yachtzoo 20 years ago, I am very pleased that we can contribute to MTA’s training programmes by sharing the practical knowledge we have gained over the years, as well as insights from real-life cases and brokerage transactions. We believe that professional education along with real practical industry experience is extremely valuable for those looking to build a career in the superyacht sector.”

Industry support is an important part of MTA’s approach to professional education. It demonstrates that respected professionals within the industry recognise the value of the subject matter and are happy to be associated with the programme.

This gives prospective students greater confidence that the knowledge and skills covered within our courses are relevant to the realities of working in the superyacht sector.

The announcement also builds on an existing relationship between Yachtzoo and MTA. Russell Stockil, Head of Yacht Management at Yachtzoo, is already Course Director for MTA’s Superyacht Management Diploma, bringing his extensive industry experience directly into the programme.

Yachtzoo’s wider support therefore represents a significant strengthening of an already established relationship and further demonstrates the industry’s involvement in MTA’s superyacht education.

We are extremely pleased to welcome Yachtzoo’s support and look forward to continuing to strengthen the relationship between industry professionals and specialist maritime education.
