The RYA Yachtmaster Prep Course is designed to prepare you for your Yachtmaster exam. It is vital that you are confident with your skippering ability and have a sound knowledge and practical application of the syllabus. 

During the intensive four day Prep Course you will work hard on your boat handling techniques, pilotage, navigation and man over board. There will also be a good amount of night time sailing to familiarise yourself with the local waters and improve your pilotage skills.

Each student will then be examined by an external RYA Yachtmaster Examiner who will step on board on Thursday evening. You will then be assesed as you skipper the yacht on short passages and complete various demonstrations of skippering techniques. As all of our Instructors have been through these exams themselves they will be able to prepare you appropriately so that you are relaxed and confident on the day.

Before you join this course, please ensure that you have all the completed all the pre-course requirements, including holding a VHF license, First Aid & Sea Survival Certificates. 

If you have insufficient mileage consider doing the RYA Coastal Skipper Course first. Alternatively you may want to get some more experience with our milebuilding trips like the Southampton - Brittany delivery.
