Yachtmaster Coastal - 5 Day Prep/Exam (RYA, USCG or other)

On days 5 & 6, an independent RYA examiner will conduct the RYA Coastal Skipper or RYA Yachtmaster Offshore exam. Candidates are given the opportunity by the examiner to demonstrate knowledge or competence in a range of theoretical and practical situations.

In each section, the examiner will expect to see the candidate take full responsibility for the management of the yacht and crew – this is where your experience and knowledge will show. This is the most important assessment that your examiner will make -a good skipper leads the crew and communicates with them, making sure they understand what is going on and listening to them when they have something to say.
