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.

navigationIt 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!

What is included?

The cost of your RYA Day Skipper practical course includes:

Your accommodation on board your yacht throughout
Your breakfasts, homemade cooked lunches and our now famous cake!
All diets catered for!
Free use of sailing waterproofs (if needed) to keep you warm and dry
Use of safety gear (life jacket and safety harness) free of charge
Free parking at our marina

We eat ashore in the evenings so that everyone can stretch their legs (this cost is not included).

A proportion of mooring fees (split between those aboard) are you only additional expense.

We run our practical RYA Day Skipper course from our base at Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport which is easily accessible by direct train from London Waterloo into Portsmouth Harbour, or by road.

We are 15 minutes from the M27 motorway (junction 9) and parking at our marina is free!

Combined Theory and Practical Day Skipper Course
Our nine day RYA Day Skipper Theory and Practical Combined Couse is a great way to learn the theory and immediately put it into practise. What better way to cement your sailing knowledge!

What Our Clients Say...

Just a quick note to say thank you for the fantastic experience I enjoyed during my day skipper practical course last week. I am amazed how much my confidence in handling a large yacht has improved in just one week. My expectations of what could be achieved in such a short period of time has been far exceeded thanks to your calm, confidence building instruction in some quite challenging conditions.

Your enthusiasm and passion for sailing was infectious and made what was quite a tough week the most enjoyable thing I have done in years, I didn’t want to stop!

The professionalism of your company, the quality of your boats and the friendly atmosphere you encourage mean I will strongly recommend others to use you for their sailing courses and I will certainly be back for more. Again many thanks and I look forward to seeing you again!"
Alan Stevenson RYA Day Skipper

Many thanks for the excellent course and for giving me your time so I could really grow and come out on top.
Tim Harrison RYA Day Skipper

Wow! What a fantastic 5 days. My head is swimming with information which I am looking forward to using next time I go out. Jannine, you gave so very much of yourself to us all and your knowledge and passion is infectious. Thanks so much Rae for all the fabulous scrummy food you kept us going with. It's a good job we were working physically hard otherwise we would have all returned with our waistbands a little snug!
Carol Hurford-Jones RYA Day Skipper

Excellent food, many thanks to Rae- loved the chocolate cake! Excellent instruction- Jannine was so calm and inspired confidence, even in a force 9!
