Hi,
To give you a short answer is to talk to one of the crew agencys. They often arrange special add-on practical training as fire-fighting (big scale) and offshore rescue. But in general you need the basic school as you are pointing at, and a certain number of hours at sea. Best is always to try to get on a superyacht as a deckhand to start with and to learn what it is all about.
Also to discover if you have the right touch to handle a big yacht, which I shouldn´t say, but some captains are a little scary especially how they manoeuvre in ports...
As a Superyacht captain you are also a hotel manager, maintenance supervisor, travel agent and the guy who runs the yacht. A demanding, interesting and rewarding job. Go for it and good luck!
