RYA Yachtmaster Coastal Skipper

RYA Yachtmaster Coastal Skipper Courses Gibraltar

The RYA Yachtmaster Coastal Skipper Course is an advanced Skippers course for yachtsmen and women who have considerable knowledge of sailing and navigation.

The aim of the RYA Yachtmaster Coastal Skipper Courses is to build on your Day Skipper skills and to give you the confidence and ability to skipper a cruising yacht safely on coastal and offshore passages by day and night.

It is typical for a sailor having done the Day Skipper Practical to gain more experience, either with us on mile builders along the Mediterranean or Atlantic coast and then do the Yachtmaster Coastal Shorebased course followed by the Yachtmaster Coastal Practical Course.
