RYA Coastal Skipper Combi - Sail
RYA Coastal Skipper & Yachtmaster theory & Coastal Skipper practical combined “Master Class”
A comprehensive course covering 9 days and 9 nights on board. This is an advanced course in navigation and meteorology for candidates for the RYA Coastal skipper and leads on toward the Yachtmaster Coastal/Offshore certificates.
The syllabus makes some provision for the revision of subjects covered in the RYA Day Skipper course but those who have not acquired the knowledge set out in the day skipper course are unlikely to be able to assimilate all the subjects covered in this advanced course. The aim of which is to teach the skills and techniques required to skipper a cruising yacht safely on coastal and offshore passages by day and night.

With our low student to instructor ratios during the course you will have plenty of opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the practical and theory elements of the RYA Coastal Skipper syllabus.
