Do you want to become an RYA Yachtmaster? Then this course is your first step. This advanced course builds on the concepts you learnt on the Dayskipper course and aims to enable you to plan multi-day trips without stopping in a harbour. You study where you want, at your own pace.
You will be supported by qualified instructors during your training. The cost of the exam is also included in your course price.
Prior knowledge
You must have taken the theory for Dayskipper within the past 5 years. During the Yachtmaster course, the concepts you were introduced to in the Dayskipper course will be further explored.
A good knowledge of the English language is necessary, as the full course and materials are also in English.
Please note: If you wish to obtain the full Yachtmaster certificate, you will also need to pass the Practical Yachtmaster.
