How do I get my Small Powerboat & RIB Master certificate commercially endorsed?

The IYT “Master of Yachts” and the IYT “Small Powerboat & RIB Master” certificates do not require a “commercial endorsement” because they are commercial certificates.

• Master of Yachts Coastal/Mate 200 gross tons and Master for vessels <24 m
• Master of Yachts Limited <200 gross tons
• Master of Yachts Unlimited <200 gross tons
• Small Powerboat and RIB Master
