The RYA Day Skipper Course covers all aspects of skippering a modern cruising yacht including boat handling, navigation, pilotage and seamanship skills. During the course you’ll skipper a short passage under the watchful eye of your instructor and gain the experience and confidence that allow you to skipper a cruising yacht in familiar waters by day. Before undertaking this course it is recommended that you have already logged 100 miles with 4 night hours, have 5 days sea time and an understanding of basic navigation.

The RYA Day Skipper theory lectures takes place at our learning centre in Angel Fish Marina, Seychelles, and completion is required before starting the practical training.
