RYA Coastal Skipper Course
The aim of this RYA Coastal Skipper practical course is to teach the skills and techniques required to skipper a cruising yacht safely on coastal and offshore passages by day and night. It will build on and refine your navigation and boat handling skills.
It's very useful, if not essential, to have attended the equivalent shorebased course first (Coastal Skipper theory) to ensure that time is not wasted teaching theory on board.
