This week, MJM Yachts announced that the builder of luxury motor yachts is introducing a course for women called “She’s the Captain” designed to help new boaters master the skills needed to fully enjoy a new yacht.
The initial course will be held on September 19 and 20 in New Bern, Sout Carolina, not far from the MJM facility in Washington, South Carolina. The course is complimentary and will be taught by instructors with more than 20-years of experience.
“While many of MJM’s female customers drive their yachts themselves or share the helm with a male partner, others have told us they feel like a passenger on their own boat. She’s the Captain is designed to empower women to take charge of their yacht and to enhance their feelings of ownership and independence on the water,” said Natascia Hatch, MJM Yachts president and CEO.
The two-day course will cover the following: boat systems and helm controls, docking and line handling, navigation, boat handling and confidence on the water.
Women interested in enrolling in She’s the Captain this month or to learn when the course will be offered in their area can sign up on the MJM website.
