Maritime Schools and Academies

In many cases, you can advance in the maritime career by starting in a entry-level position, you can kick-start your career by getting training and

certifications from maritime schools. For some jobs, like those with the coast guard, training is required. Although maritime jobs involve a lot of on-site learning, schooling is really where success starts.

Maritime High Schools

If you have been interested in a maritime career since you were a child, you can start your maritime education before you even graduate. A number of high schools provide specific focus on the workboat industry, so considering these private schools might be a good idea.

  • Chapman School of Seamanship in Stuart, Florida
  • The Marine Academy of Science and Technology in Sandy Hook, New Jersey
  • MAST Academy in Miami, Florida
  • The Palm Beach Maritime Academy Charter School in West Palm Beach, Florida
  • Woods Hole Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Technical Schools for Maritime Careers

After high school, there are three main choices if you want to have a maritime industry career: you can enter the workforce in an entry-level position, you can seek technical training for certification, or you can go to college to obtain a degree. If you want an active job on a ship, technical school is most likely your best bet to get the training you need in the fastest way possible. Here are just a few of the skills you will learn while at a technical school:

  • Boat and Water Safety
  • Nautical Vocabulary
  • Basic Ship Repair and Maintenance Skills
  • Primary Deckhand Training
  • Basic Engineering
  • Naval Architecture
  • Celestial Navigation
  • Knot Tying
  • Rigging
  • Environmental Understanding
  • Team Work Skills

A College Degree

If you are interested in management positions on a workboat or want to pursue more advanced careers, you may need a full 4-year college education, resulting in a bachelor’s degree. This type of education will help you learn more advanced skills that can’t necessarily be learned while you’re on the ship!
