Course Content
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. We use our best instructors for the Yachtmaster Prep course with years of experience.
During the intensive five day Yachtmaster Prep Course you will work hard on your boat handling techniques, pilotage, navigation and man over board. There will be a good amount of night time sailing to familiarise yourself with the local waters and improve your pilotage skills. Time will be spent discussing preparation for sea, passage planning and safety at sea.
The instructor will tailor the course to your specific needs having assessed your abilities early in the course to determine what areas you need to work on during the Yachtmaster Prep Course. By the end of the week you will receive an individual de- brief from the instructor about your capabilities and suitability for the exam.
Each student will then be examined by an external RYA Yachtmaster Examiner as they 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.
If you have got insufficient experience for the RYA Yachtmaster Prep Course you may want to consider doing the RYA Coastal Skipper Course first. Alternatively you may want to get some more experience with our mile building trips like the Malta to Gibraltar cruise.

(If you take the exam at the end of the Yachtmaster Prep Course it will be on the Saturday and Sunday. The exam fee of £170 is payable to the RYA).
