A fantastic weekend of sailing, almost 130 NM in all, with a relaxed, but fully engaging skipper. Great set up and brilliant on the admin. Thanks Stef, Tom et al!
I did a weeks coastal skipper course getting ready for my yacht master and I have to say it was one of the best training weeks I’ve had - our training instructor was superb, exactly the sort of person that you want. He could inspire, provide discipline and impart knowledge as well as let you learn through your own mistakes. Tom and Steph run an excellent operation there and I highly recommend it. They’re flexible and very helpful when it comes to your journey into being a qualified sailor.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

During this course you will have the opportunity to develop your existing safety and boat handling to the standard required for longer passages in more complex scenarios.
OUTLINE COURSE CONTENT
Subjects covered will include chart work, tides, compass rose, weather, position fixing, navigation by GPS, methods of navigation at high speed, pile moorings, manoeuvring in locks, and a range of man overboard methods.
As some of the most highly commended power boat courses in the UK, the RYA powerboat courses practice techniques, manoeuvres and best practices to keep you safe.
For further information on the topics covered, take a look at the Intermediate Powerboat course syllabus .
WHAT DOES THE COURSE COST?
This course is £325.00 per person for two days of training with a qualified RYA instructor. Due to the size of our RIBs, all our courses take place in small groups, with a maximum group size of 3.
