Entry into Yachting Guide
A practical starting point for people who want to understand how the superyacht industry works before wasting time and energy in the wrong direction.
Yacht Training Hub
Real superyacht experience turned into practical training.
Yacht Training Hub is the training academy of Superyacht Engineers, created by Riccardo Peirano and Natalia Navarro. It transforms real onboard, shipyard and interior experience into practical courses, ebooks, live sessions and mentoring.
YTH is the training brand. Superyacht Engineers is the authority behind it.
Why YTH exists
Because yachting is not learned from theory alone.
The industry is full of advice, but not all advice is useful. Yacht Training Hub gives structured, practical and honest training based on real experience: engine rooms, interiors, guest pressure, refits, crew dynamics, interviews, standards and career decisions.
- ✓Free chapters and downloadable guides to start with clarity.
- ✓Hotmart courses for scalable training and self-paced learning.
- ✓Live sessions with Riccardo, Natalia or both.
- ✓Private mentoring for people who need direct guidance.
- ✓Future in-person training for selected programs and groups.

Mentoring

Mentoring is for people who want a personal reading of their situation: career direction, profile, interviews, leadership, onboard challenges or transition between roles.
Career clarity
Understand where you are, what you want, and what steps are realistic.
Profile review
CV, positioning, credibility, LinkedIn and how you present your experience.
Decision support
Practical support before career moves, interviews, onboard transitions or difficult choices.
Filipino / Tagalog Page
A dedicated page for Filipino professionals in yachting.
Filipino crew are an important and highly respected part of the superyacht industry. We created a dedicated Filipino/Tagalog page as a clearer starting point for the many Filipino professionals who already work — or want to build a career — in yachting.
Training language: YTH courses for Filipino professionals will remain in English, because English is the operational language used onboard.
