Which Course?

The course you choose depends on both your boating and navigation experience and what your future aspirations are. A brief summary of each course follows:

Basic Navigation and Safety
If you’re new to boating then this is the best course to do as it assumes no knowledge or practical experience. It is ideal for people who wish to be useful crew members whether sailing, motor-boating or sea angling.

Day Skipper
If you have some practical experience and are considering owning your own boat or wish to charter a boat but have little or no navigation experience then the Day Skipper course would probably suit your needs.

Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster
This is the more advanced course if you have practical and navigation experience and wish to go further afield, progress onto the Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore practical certificates or just to improve your navigation and seamanship skills.

VHF Short Range Certificate
It is a legal requirement that to use a VHF set you must hold or be under supervision of someone holding a valid VHF licence. It is therefore essential that you complete this course if you own your own boat and have a VHF set fitted or intend to charter a boat.

Bespoke Course
If you require complete flexibility in the timing of completing the course, one–to-one tuition, women only courses or small group tuition either for any of the above courses or to cover specific areas such as pilotage or passage planning then we can usually cater for your needs.
