The RYA Day Skipper Syllabus is extensive and five days is not enough time to properly cover the underpinning theory for the first time whilst covering the practical syllabus with fellow crew. Click here to see our RYA Day Skipper Fastrack Theory and Practical courses If you took the theory course some time ago it’s worth reading the Day Skipper theory and practical course notes books prior to joining us. Also, if you have limited sailing experience it’s worth considering a day or two on the water prior to joining. To help you hone your wind awareness, something which novice sailors sometimes find hard to master to the subconscious level but required of a Day Skipper.

About The Course

The Day Skipper course is for aspiring Day Skippers and can be used to obtain an International Certificate of Competence and satisfies the minimum experience requirement for bare boat charter.

This course concentrates on pilotage, navigation and boat handling under both sail and power. It will also improve your sail setting and deck work, as well as developing your knowledge and understanding of seamanship and safety issues.

During the course you will be able to take charge of the yacht on short tidal passages, under the guidance of the instructor.

Who Is This Course For?

RYA Day Skipper is a qualification which enables you to safely take charge of a 30-45ft sail cruising yacht and its crew by day in familiar waters. There's no getting away from it – passing involves some work, some practice and some dedication & previous sailing experience. (RYA Competent Crew & RYA Day Skipper Theory)

What Type Of RYA Course is this?

This is very much a hands-on practcial RYA course. With little time to teach navigation or other theoretical subjects. It is therefore recommended that you take the RYA Day Skipper Theory shorebased course (Info: Click Here) prior to your practical course so you can put those skills into practice on the water. You will be sleeping onboard visiting different ports and bays throughout the duration of the course.
