Whether you are a novice or simply wishing to improve your skills, there is an RYA course for you. Although there is no requirement to start with the most basic course and work your way through the various levels, the table shows the recommended route through the RYA Sail cruising scheme. People with previous sailing experience can start with the course best suited for their level of competence.

Before taking the Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper courses on the water, it is always advisable to take the equivalent shorebased navigation courses. The subject is too complex to be covered in sufficient detail on board the boat, so your best preparation is to take a shorebased
course and then put the skills into practice on the water.

If you are not entirely sure as to what course is best suited for you pleasecontact usand we would be more than happy to help.
