RYA Day Skipper 4 days (minimum) - £875.00
Next course 5th - 8th March 2012
The RYA Day Skipper practical motor course is four days long making it the best course for those new, or with a little experience of motor cruising and wishing to Skipper their own motor cruiser. This RYA training course is designed to consolidate what you learned on the RYA Day Skipper Theory Course by offering practical application for what you need to know to safely navigate a motor cruiser in local waters berthing in marinas or anchorages in secluded spots. You will also learn to handle the boat in close quarters situations. This course is also available as Own Boat Tuition.
" An excellent experience. Not only enjoyable, but educational" Larry H
Before attending the course it's great if you can navigate so we advise the Day Skipper shore based course to brush up on your skills. Alternatively, if time is an issue then you could do the theory course via our online Day Skipper option and then come back and do the Day Skipper practical over 4 days.
