Built on a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture with 14,000+ chunks of real candidate feedback, official MCA syllabuses (MIN/MGN/MSN), and SOLAS/COLREG/STCW/MARPOL references. Five examiner personas (Fletcher, Mackenzie, Walsh, Hughes, plus a fifth) simulate distinct UK examiner styles. The AI uses 768-dimensional semantic embeddings for contextual question selection and grades responses against the MCA Generic Marker's Assessment (GMA) framework. Pricing (monthly subscriptions, GBP): - Cadet tier (OOW Deck, EOOW, Yacht OOW): £49/month - Officer tier (Chief Mate, Second Engineer, Master 500GT): £79–£99/month - Captain tier (Master Unlimited, Chief Engineer, ETO): £119–£149/month - One-off Sprint Pass (30-day intensive, single rank): £39 single payment, no auto-renew - Annual billing available (2 months free) Free trial: 10 minutes of full examiner interaction, no payment details required. Includes a curated trial curriculum. Features: voice-first interaction (OpenAI Whisper STT with maritime context prompt + 24kHz PCM TTS), Hands-Free continuous conversation mode, Freeplay practice mode, Exam Mode with Microsoft Teams-style layout, GMA Competency Assurance Report (50 Harbour Credits to download as PDF, includes social sharing), STCW Gap Analysis, professional certificates, referral programme (10 Harbour Credits each for referrer and referred student), and Captain-tier crisis-management scenarios. Harbour Credits are the in-app currency: 60 credits per month at Cadet tier, scaling up by tier. Credits cover practice minutes, report generation and certificate downloads. The "use-it-or-lose-it" Sprint model forfeits remaining credits when a session ends. Languages: English and Hindi. Accessibility: voice-first design supports candidates with reading or dyslexia challenges. Anonymity: GDPR-compliant — student-facing APIs never expose examiner identities. --- ## B2B / Fleet Pre-Hire Screening URL: https://theworldyacht.com/b2b/mca-orals-gpt Multi-seat MCA Orals GPT licensing for yacht management companies, ship managers and crewing agencies.

Delivers TMS-compliant reports including: ENC overview, speed and heading charts, equipment feed analysis, steering test verification, error-chain reconstruction, human-factors panel, risk matrix and best-practice recommendations. Supports VDR data from major manufacturers (Furuno, JRC, Kelvin Hughes, Rutter, Sperry, Danelec, Consilium, Totem). Frame-level transcript viewer, AI-assisted classification of bridge audio, Google Drive bulk import and findings workflow with sign-off. Standalone subdomain login required for auditor and client roles. Pricing: per-audit and fleet-subscription tiers — see https://theworldyacht.com/VDR_Navigation_Audit_Price_List.pdf. --- ## Offshore Stability Simulator URL: https://theworldyacht.com/courses/offshore-stability-simulator OPITO-aligned offshore vessel stability training programme priced at £3,250 + VAT. Combines classroom theory with a browser-based 3D simulator that performs first-principles stability recalculations (LCG, TCG, VCG, GZ curve, free-surface effects, ballast layout, crane operations, wind heel, flooding scenarios). Built for offshore officers, DPOs and ballast control room personnel preparing for emergency response and stability audits. Tasks completed in the simulator are synchronised back to the LMS for certification tracking. --- ## Wavecast VHF / SRC Marine Radio Preparation Course URL: https://theworldyacht.com/courses/vhf-src-prep Online preparation course for the RYA Marine Radio Short Range Certificate (SRC). Self-paced, lifetime access, single payment of £350 inc VAT (GBP). Built by Wavecast Academy under The World of Superyachts Ltd. The course covers all 13 modules of the RYA SRC syllabus: General Maritime Radiocommunications; GMDSS Structure & Sea Area A1; VHF Channels & Frequencies; Routine Calls & Voice Procedure; Distress, Urgency & Safety Calls (MAYDAY / PAN-PAN / SÉCURITÉ); Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Class D; EPIRBs, SARTs & AIS-SART; Search & Rescue Coordination; False Alerts & Cancellation; Antennas, Power & Maintenance; Radio Logs & Records; Practical Scenarios; Final Assessment & Mock Exam. Two flagship interactive tools differentiate Wavecast from typical online VHF prep: 1. Interactive Class D DSC VHF Radio Simulator — a browser-based marine VHF set with channel selector, dual-watch, squelch, audio gating, Channel 16 distress, Channel 70 DSC and a guarded 5-second distress-alert arming flow. 2. AI-Scored Voice Scenario Player — students record real MAYDAY, PAN-PAN, SÉCURITÉ and routine calls into a microphone. OpenAI Whisper transcribes the audio and an AI rubric scores every required call element (vessel name, position, nature of distress, assistance required, persons on board, etc.) with examiner-style feedback and safety-critical error flagging. Disclaimer: Wavecast issues a Course Completion Certificate. The official UK SRC certificate must be obtained via an RYA Recognised Training Centre. Wavecast prepares candidates to walk into that assessment with confidence. Audience: yacht owners, superyacht crew, commercial seafarers and watchkeepers preparing for the SRC assessment. Languages: English. Accessibility: works in any modern browser; only a microphone is required. --- ## Classroom courses - IAMI GUEST Advanced Interior Programme (Yacht Aesthetics): IAMI-approved interior crew course covering service, etiquette, fabrics, flowers and guest experience. £1,375 + VAT. https://theworldyacht.com/courses/yacht-aesthetics - Mixologist for Yacht Crew: Professional cocktail, wine and beverage service. £1,375 + VAT. https://theworldyacht.com/courses/mixologist - Small Ships Navigation & Radar (SSNR): 5-day in-person programme covering chartwork, radar/ARPA, passage planning. https://theworldyacht.com/courses/small-ship-nav-and-radar - USV ROC Operator and Maintainer: Uncrewed Surface Vessel Remote Operator certifications. https://theworldyacht.com/courses/usv-roc-operator and /usv-roc-maintainer - Marine Boilers: Engineering refresher with interactive 3D modules. https://theworldyacht.com/courses/marine-boilers --- ## AI Suite & specialist tools URL: https://theworldyacht.com/gpt Hub for all AI products developed by The World of Superyachts Ltd.
