Courses for under 16s 

The RYA's Motor Cruising Scheme

If going to sea and living on board is what you fancy, why not try the introductory course in our motor cruising scheme?

The Helmsmans course can give you an introduction to skippering the boat and how to be a useful crew member and get the most from your time on board.

As it can be difficult to find training centres able to offer cruising courses to under 16s, we have compiled a list of centres who have told us they can do it. You can see it here. 

At 16 you can move on to our skippering courses, starting with the Day Skipper course.
