Why Choose Luna Moon?

Luna Moon isn’t just any sailboat—it’s a 132ft classic gaff-rigged topsail schooner, a historic beauty that offers an authentic maritime experience. Whether you’re new to sailing or looking to take the next step in your yachting career, Luna Moon provides the perfect blend of adventure and professional training.

Our program is recognized globally, and Luna Moon Sailing Academy was even highlighted by ImproveSailing.com as one of the most remarkable sailing schools in the world. Under the guidance of experienced captains and crew, you’ll not only learn the ropes (literally!) but also develop the confidence and skills needed to work on superyachts or pursue further advanced sailing courses.

What Makes This Internship Special?

1. Hands-On Superyacht Training This is not just a classroom setting! You’ll be living and working aboard Luna Moon, gaining practical experience that directly prepares you for the superyacht industry. Learn essential sailing skills like sail hoisting, rope handling, watchkeeping, and even basic engine maintenance. You’ll also log sea miles that are crucial for your future maritime career.
2. Breathtaking Destinations The adventure begins in Mossel Bay as you set sail for Madagascar, exploring some of the most beautiful islands on the planet. From the turquoise waters and lush landscapes of Nosy Be to the vibrant marine life of the Indian Ocean, you’ll experience Madagascar like never before. And the journey doesn’t end there—your adventure wraps up in the exotic islands of Zanzibar.
3. Build Your Professional Portfolio One of the most valuable aspects of this internship is the Captain’s reference letter you’ll receive upon completion.
