RYA Day Skipper

Take the step and become your own skipper. We will coach you in our calm manner so you are confident and happy taking your friends and family out on the water.....and being in charge!

The Day Skipper course includes everything you could possibly need to be in charge of a boat, and most charter companies will require a Day Skipper certificate for you to be able to charter a boat.

This 5 day course gives you a chance to meet other like-minded ladies who want to get out there just as much as you do. Don't worry if you are coming on your own, by the end of the week you will feel like you've known your fellow crew members forever!!
