FAQ

Can you work on a yacht without an ENG 1 medical?

The ENG 1 medical is a medical certificate that is required for all seafarers working on commercial vessels. The ENG 1 medical certificate is issued by a doctor and verifies that an individual is fit to work at sea and meet the physical and mental demands of their job.

In general, it is not possible to work on a yacht without an ENG 1 medical certificate, as most yachts are required to comply with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) regulations, which specify that all crew members must hold a valid ENG 1 medical certificate. The ENG 1 medical is a mandatory requirement for all crew members working on yachts, regardless of their position or duties.

However, it is worth noting that the specific requirements for ENG 1 medical certificates may vary depending on the size and type of the yacht, as well as the area of operation. Some smaller yachts or those operating in certain areas may be exempt from certain ENG 1 medical requirements, while larger yachts or those operating in more demanding environments may have more stringent requirements. It is important to consult the STCW regulations and the specific requirements of the yacht operator to determine the ENG 1 medical requirements that apply to your position.
