RYA Coastal Skipper

The RYA Coastal Skipper course is an intensive but satisfying week. You will learn to become a confident skipper making coastal passages and also relishing being in more demanding situations.

We will coach you through inshore and offshore navigation, weather forecasting, watch keeping and preparation for sea. You will plan and execute passages taking complete command of the yacht including at least 4 hours of night sailing.

A Coastal Skipper must learn to take command and with a well planned passage will make decisions resulting in a relaxed and a happy crew. You will also become good at boat handling by receiving lots of practice at mooring the yacht and using warps to their best effect

At the end of the 6 days you will be able to Skipper a yacht on coastal passages by day & night.

With a maximum of 4 students per course, your fully qualified instructor will devote plenty of time to your individual needs.
