Unravel the mysteries of astro navigation, using a sextant, ocean passage making, worldwide meteorology and electronic navigation aids.

This course is for those aspiring to blue water cruising and is ideal for holders of the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate who are preparing for their first ocean passage.

Prior to the course your navigation skills should be at the standard of the RYA Coastal Skipper/RYA Yachmaster Offshore shorebased course.

The course is taught over 40 hours with one exam paper.

Course logistics
Courses are held at our marina (Royal Clarence) in Gosport and generally run between 09.00-18.00hrs each day- although you can expect some homework from your instructor too!

Course costs include refreshments throughout (teas, coffees etc) and packed lunch each day (with our now famous homemade cakes!).

Free parking is available at the marina. Local hostel or B&B accomodation is available and can be arranged if required (this cost is not included).

If you have a small group or family who wish to study together, then we can come to you!
