Superyacht training courses in Palma de Mallorca
Palma de Mallorca is the Western Mediterranean's other major crew and refit centre, anchored by STP Shipyard and a large resident and seasonal superyacht fleet. It's a common base for crew working the Balearics and wider Spanish coast.
Training providers here cover the same core certifications crew need across the Med — STCW, deck tickets and interior courses — with Palma often used as a lower-cost or less crowded alternative to Antibes during peak season.
