Developing our facilities
At UKSA you’ll find a comprehensive fleet of yachts, and a whole range of quality, top brand watersports equipment. So you’ll be able to learn and develop your skills on a variety of yachts and watersports equipment.
Dedicated Classrooms
Sea Survival & PST
Our Personal Survival Techniques (PST) room is a specialised space where you’ll gain essential knowledge about surviving at sea and using critical safety equipment. You’ll cover everything from life rafts and life jackets to visual and audio safety devices. Training is split between this dedicated classroom and our swimming pool, where you’ll put theory into practice during hands-on sea survival sessions.
Engineering Workshop
Our Engineering Workshop is the heart of everything nuts and bolts. Here students get to learn everything about engines and auxiliary onboard boats. This includes water systems, electrics, generators, and other vast arrays of equipment.
Superyacht Galley
We know that working in the interior of a yacht is a very different experience to land based hospitality. We always want to provide our students with the very best learning experience.
Therefore we have created a unique superyacht galley with fixtures and fittings mirroring those you would find onboard a boat. Complete with laundry facilities, a fully fitted kitchen with a wine fridge and space for flower arranging, our students can fine-tune their skills in an authentic, professional setting.
Yacht Repair & Rope Workshop
Our Yacht Construction and Finishing Workshop is built for hands-on learning.
Here, students develop practical skills in deck maintenance, varnishing, fiberglass repairs, sail repairs, rope work, and wire splicing – ensuring they’re prepared for every aspect of yacht upkeep and repair.
Simulation Suites
We offer two high-tech Simulation Suites, each equipped with 10 independent workstations using the latest TRANSAS simulation software.
Navigate through realistic simulations of global locations such as Sydney Harbour, New York City, and the Norwegian Fjords, facing a variety of navigational challenges.
Our simulators also feature a wide range of vessel types – from workboats and superyachts to cruise ships – and can be operated using either fully integrated electronic bridge systems or traditional paper navigation techniques.
Radio & Navigation Rooms
We provide dedicated training rooms for both radio & communications and celestial navigation:
