Most problems offshore aren't dramatic—they're poorly managed basics.

This seminar covers what every captain and crew member should know before casting off: why you're the medic out there, how to assess a patient, which common problems escalate fastest, what should be in your onboard medical kit, and how to call for help before it's too late.

Designed for sailors, cruisers, and offshore crew of all experience levels, this session requires no medical background and focuses on practical skills that can make a critical difference when professional care is hours—or days—away.
