  Very well set up from a logistical standpoint- made it very easy to do a quick trip over a weekend instead of having to take a full week! All well planned out and straightforward- locations easy to find. Instructors were very knowledgable and experiences- would highly recommend!

  The STCW Blended course was very comprehensive and the on line portion allowed me to spend the time needed when I had time rather than taking time out to spend days in a class room. Same information, but on my time. The practical portion only took 2 days and was delivered very professionally.
  
  Marcus was very accommodating in scheduling the practical portion and I highly recommend using Seven Seas and Marcus for your required training.
  
  Thanks Marcus!

  Great experience from start to finish. I just completed the 2-Day Deckhand course in Ft. Lauderdale. I am starting out my yachting career with the most basic of knowledge of the yachting industry. Marcus the owner and instructor was extremely helpful and professional from the initial booking throughout the teaching of the course. He’s a wealth of knowledge and a tremendous instructor. I highly recommend this course for someone in my shoes, getting started in the industry. I plan on coming back for the STCW training in a few months as well.

  I took the STCW Navigation Watch Rating course here. The course format was excellent and the instructor was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and went above and beyond to make sure the material was understood. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in working on the water. I will be doing the STCW Basic Training here as well and a few other courses.

  Excellent course. I had almost no nautical experience prior to do this so I had a lot to learn. The online modules were engaging and informative. The best part was the practical, however. The lessons really helped solidify the information and I feel much more comfortable working on a yacht or ship. Thank you so much!

  I took my STCW course in Cape Canaveral and it was great. All of the instructors were so friendly and great at demonstrating. They also took COVID distancing seriously and made us all feel very comfortable. 10/10 recommend

  I completed Seven Seas' STCW Navigation Watch Rating course in order to acquire my STCW RFPNW certificate. Prior to enrolling, Marcus was quick to respond in detail to any questions I had about the course, and continued to be very helpful leading up to the start of the course. The course is very well done and offers a high level of professional training. Marcus and Anthony were very knowledgeable and personable instructors and created a great learning environment for the course. I would definitely recommend getting any STCW certificates you need through this company!

  Seven Seas is a great place and the owner Marcus is even more helpful. Everything was in order down to the toppings on my Lunch. If you are looking for Maritime courses then give them a call.

  I have taken several classes all over the U.S. And Seven Seas Preparatory Academy is absolutely top notch. Marcus, the owner is outstanding and extremely knowledgeable about everything. Three courses overall, and I am super satisfied and happy with each one. I cannot say enough to thank or compliment them.

  Marcus was extremely accommodating to all of us. I was able to get the information I needed (logistics, logging, food, nightlight, etc.) for my time in Cape Canaveral to make my week great. That's not even mentioning the course. The instructors he partners with are incredible. The fire fighters were so fun and energetic, the eduction was great, the process was simple, and the entire time there were smiles because it was fun.

  My STCW training experience was extremely rewarding. The course was nothing short of exact and concise. Each emergency circumstance was explained thoroughly, and we (my class) were given the tools needed to find a grounded mindset within a setting of chaos. I was surprised to find that we weren’t just going to read about how to react in an emergency situation, but actually be exposed to different real life scenarios. Marcus, Anthony, Lieutenant Bob Keane, as well as the other leaders at the fire department; did an amazing job with making us feel confident and in control, no matter the state of the environment. I have no doubt that if an emergency ever presented itself, I would be able assist in anyway needed.

  This is absolutely the best training school one could attend. I just completed my two-day combined STCW course in Port Canaveral/Cocoa FL. The instructors are seasoned professionals with so much experience. The material was presented in the most professional yet simple way to understand and everyone was very personable and helpful. I felt personally challenged since I was clearly older than the rest of the students, but I was able to perform my tasks with success and I had a lot of fun doing it. Thank you, Marcus for open lines of communication, your patience, and for the encouragement. I can't imagine why anyone would go anywhere else for training. Great job!

  I had a great experience when I took my STCW certification through Seven Seas. The owner was very easy to communicate with. The trainers were very personable and presented the information very clearly. I highly recommend this business if you need training or retraining for maritime certifications.

  Had an amazing learning experience with Maritime Safety academy. Marcus, owner and instructor, was very knowledgeable, patient and made sure everyone was equipt and up to speed. It was a very comfortable environment whether you're already in the industry or brand new like myself. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course especially the fire fighting course as it is the most thrilling part to be faced with real life fire situations. Thank you Marcus for sharing your years of knowledge and tips in the industry.
