Description

The RYA Day Skipper Photo-I.D. Certificate is the 'Private Pilots' Licence' of Yachting, and is the most widely recognised and respected certificate for bareboat or flotilla chartering worldwide in places like Greece, Croatia, etc, or for buying & sailing your own yacht. It represents a high standard of training in safety, navigation, berthing in tight marinas, anchoring, mooring, sail handling, pilotage and passage-making. It is recognised by insurance companies if you need yacht insurance, and you can even have it Commercially Endorsed to begin skippering yachts as a career.

 RUNS EVERY WEEK SUN-FRI, OR ANY 3 WEEKENDS.

This RYA sailing lesson is also designed as a weekend yachting break for individuals, couples or families, with plenty of opportunities to get lots of 'hands-on' steering-time and learning essential skills at sea - an official RYA Course Completion Certificate is also included, and you can go on to complete the full RYA Competent Crew Course in just a further two weekends, as this weekend formally counts as your first Certificate in the RYA Sail Cruising Scheme.
