Co-ownership should feel like real ownership — including taking the helm yourself. Every Galenne owner starts out with a professional captain, then progresses through the Captain’s Program: a hands-on certification that builds your confidence and unlocks more freedom on the water, one level at a time. No classrooms — you’re assessed on real outings, on your own boat.
Level 1
Captained
Where everyone starts. A professional captain runs the boat while you learn the ropes, the marina and the booking app. Zero pressure, full enjoyment from day one.
Level 2
Day Skipper
Your captain assesses you on real outings — docking, handling, navigation and safety within Biscayne Bay. Pass, and you take the boat out for the day on your own.
Level 3
Overnight Skipper
Level up with night navigation, anchoring overnight, weather and range. Graduate and unlock self-skippered long weekends on cabin models.
Coming soon
Offshore Skipper
The Keys and the Bahamas, on your own terms.
Assessed on the water, on your specific boat — not in a classroom. Your captain doubles as your instructor, you progress at your own pace, and the captain option is always available. Certification is per boat class, for safety.
