Flexible training, for you or your whole crew.
kelp. is built to adapt to any setup, offering 5 distinct license tiers tailored to your specific needs.
Looking to advance your personal career? Our Individual License gives you solo, unrestricted access to the entire platform.
Managing a yacht? We offer seamless Vessel Licenses structured to fit your fleet size: up to 20, 35, 50, or 75 crew members.
