If
you want to be able to safely skipper your own boat by day, this
is the course for you! Click here for course dates.
Our practical RYA Day Skipper Course teaches you navigation, seamanship
and safety, boat handling and pilotage.
It is a very valuable course
if you have your own boat or if you are wanting to charter or flotilla.
Many companies in the UK and abroad
now require successful completion of the RYA Day Skipper practical
course before you can charter a boat.
Before you can join a practical RYA
Day Skipper Course you will need to have completed 5 days/100 miles
at sea, to include at least 4 night hours. This can be achieved
through our RYA Competent Crew course plus we then advise to gain some additional sailing experience before signing up for your RYA Day Skipper practical.
It is an intensive and demanding course and our RYA instructors will certainly put you through your paces, burning the candle with night sailing and early starts too! There is a big step from crewing on a yacht to skippering in your own right -a great goal to go for!
The
practical course requires a sound working knowledge of all aspects
of the RYA Day Skipper Theory course. You will need to complete
a theory course (which you can do with us) or show wide knowledge
and experience, before joining the practical course .
If we haven't sailed with you previously, we will ask you to complete a pre-course questionaire which will help both you and us to confirm that you are ready to join our RYA Day Skipper practical course. This helps to prevent you wasting your time and money!
We run this popular RYA sailing course
throughout the year which we run over 5 consecutive days. To assure you of the best quality we are not prepared to offer you the course over a number of weekends. It is an intensive and demanding course and it requires you to step away from every day distractions and become absorbed in your sailing-it's great fun!

The cost of your RYA Day Skipper practical course includes:
