Courses Overview

 
Our RYA Shorebased Theory Courses aim to provide you with a sound understanding of the principles of navigation and seamanship prior to embarking upon a sea-based course or experience.   The skills you will learn and the knowledge you will attain will allow you to gain maximum enjoyment from your leisure sailing experiences, through active participation and understanding.
   
 

The RYA Day Skipper Theory course does not assume any pre-requisite knowledge and if your are taking the RYA Coastal / Yachtmaster theory course it is recommended that candidates have RYA Day Skipper syllabus-level knowledge.

Those choosing to participate at RYA Day Skipper level should have at least 100 sea-miles sailng experience prior to booking a RYA Day Skipper Practical Course, but there is no specific pre-requisite for the shorebased element.    This course is ideal for those wishing to gain the qualifications of both sides of this discipline in a complete course.

It is worth noting that most Western countries, including Scotland, require that skippers hold RYA-level certificates in order to charter a sailing yacht or motor-boat.
