The Premium Amel Yacht School Course is perfect for those who are new to Amels. The course is taught aboard your Amel with as many crew members as desired. It is an intensive and complete course. This course includes an experienced Amel owner acting as a Guide to help you achieve your best. Bill Rouse vets this Guide. The course includes guided personalized training for you and your crew, daily ZOOM Q&A with Bill Rouse, a 1-year subscription to the Online Amel Book, and copies of the Amel owner’s manuals for your Amel. You can add some optional things, as shown in the table below.
FastTrack Yacht School Course
I recommend the Premium Yacht School Course, guided by an experienced Amel yacht owner, conducted aboard your Amel. However, only some have the availability, time, and/or budget to take this premium course. If this is your situation, I have something designed just for you. I call it the "FastTrack." FastTrack is usually defined as a quick way to learn the necessary information. "FastTrack" courses are never as complete as a "full course." If you choose not to take the Premium Yacht School Course, FastTrack includes 6 Zoom meetings with Bill Rouse during training, as well as Amel owner’s manuals. You can also bundle FastTrack with other things I offer, like the printed version of the 400-page Amel Book, a 3-year subscription to the Online Amel Book, 1 year of Unlimited 24/7 Support with periodic ZOOM meetings, a year of regular 24/7 Support, and even add an onboard guide to help you one-on-one.
Review from an Amel owner: Having purchased an Amel 55 in July 2021, we
reached out to Bill Rouse for his services. We were looking for an in-depth orientation to our new vessel from someone who was experienced and knowledgeable in the model of Amel we had just purchased. Bill came through in spades, putting us in contact with an experienced Amel owner who, in great detail and with extensive documentation, took the time over a period of days to show, demonstrate, and explain every aspect of our new vessel. Had this been the only thing he did, one would be more than satisfied with the service, but our instructor went above and beyond by giving us best practices and lessons from his personal experiences. This was all done in the friendliest and most convivial manner, which made it indeed fun to do.

We highly recommend this service. It was invaluable as it has oriented us and it gave us confidence with our boat in a way that would have taken months to achieve otherwise.
