During a visit to Akko (Acre) I spotted the burgee of the Sea
Officers School in Akko. Bet ha'Sefer le'Ktzine Yam (Sea
Officers School), is named after 23 Haganah sailors who perished
during World War Two under command of the British Navy in a
mission to sabotage enemy ships. The burgee is a white emblem on
blue. The emblem is a leaned anchor with seven Magen-David-like
stars. The emblem can be seen at their website.

The other maritime school in Israel (Mevo'ot Yam in
Mikhmoret, north of Netanya) probably uses a blue emblem on white
as can be seen at their website.

Agudat Yorde-Yam Zevulun, was the first Hebrew body in the
modern era that targeted maritime education as its goal. It was
founded in 1928 in Tel -Aviv (officially registered in 1930) and
operated "Zebulun maritime school". It was in charge of
training sailors (officially for the merchant marine but also
crewmen for the illegal immigration ships).
Today it is a sailing club with ten branches.
There are two flags reported for Zebulun (at least in the Mandate
era). The first one is the Zionist flag with the Magen David
replaced with Zebulun emblem. Photo of a boat with this flag at wikipedia.
The second is a white flag
with the emblem and inscription above it.
