What you need to know

The RYA Day Skipper course will prepare you to skipper a yacht by day in familiar waters. This is the minimum qualification required by most yacht charter companies (although consider our supported charter package for your first charter). 

Wednesday - Sunday Format:

You will meet your crew and instructor for the 5-day practical course at 7pm on the Tuesday evening before the course starts on Wednesday morning. The first evening is relaxed, and a chance to get to know each other over a crew meal ashore. The next morning you will prepare to set sail and you will spend the next 5 days exploring the Solent and South Coast. The route you take and the ports you visit will be weather dependent - and part of the course will cover appropriate route planning.

You will return about 3.30pm on the final Sunday. 

If these dates aren't suitable, see the other RYA Day Skipper course dates available here.

What's Included:

Sailing Logic offer a no-hidden extras approach. All mooring fees are included in the course fee, as well as the loan of high quality waterproof jacket and trousers. All day time food and 3 evening meals are included on board, allowing you two evenings to enjoy a meal ashore (the first evening, plus one another). You will also receive an RYA Day Skipper Practical Certificate (Tidal). Please bring a passport photo for your certificate.
