RYA Coastal Skipper

Cost:£549 Course / £660 Yachtmaster Coastal
Course Duration:5-days / 7 days with exam
Prior Experience:Specific pre-requisites required

The RYA Coastal Skipper Course teaches more advanced sailing techniques designed to prepare you to skipper more challenging and longer passages.

The 5 day Coastal Skipper course concentrates on navigation, practical meteorology, night pilotage, man overboard recovery, boat handling, watch keeping and preparation for sea. The 7-day option allows you to take an exam at the end, to receive the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Coastal Certificate of Competence.

Students will take it in turn to skipper the yacht and practice the new skills that have been learnt. By the end of the RYA Coastal Skipper Course you should have the confidence to skipper a yacht on longer coastal cruises.

Before you take the course, please check that you have the required logged mileage, which is different for the 5-day and 7-day options. You will also need a valid VHF Licence and First Aid certificate for the Yachtmaster Coastal. If you need to gain more experience or log more tidal miles, consider joining one of our delivery trips or milebuilders.

You should also hold the RYA Coastal/Yachtmaster Theory Certificate, if you completed it a while ago but feel a little rusty - consider our weekend Theory Refresher

An RYA Coastal Skipper Course Completion Certificate will be awarded on successful completion of the 5-day course. Or you can opt to take an additional exam to acheive the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Coastal Certificate (additional exam fee payable directly to examiner). 

For more information contact our shore-support team on 023 8033 0999 or email info@sailinglogic.co.uk.

Format:
Join the yacht in Port Hamble Marina on Sunday 7pm, ready to set sail on Monday morning. Stay on board and return about 4pm on Friday. The exam runs over the weekend.

Which course should I take? It partly depends on what level you are at with your sailing, check your logged mileage against the pre-requisites.  Undertaking the additional exam option is a great way to prepare you for the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore exam, if you are planning on progressing further with your sailing.

Cost: £549 completion course / £660 Yachtmaster Coastal (plus exam fee payable to examiner)
