We are open to discusing your requirements. It is recommended that you have passed this course before taking an RYA Yachtmaster Practical Exam.

The course is normally taught by our principal instructor who has over 50,000 miles sailing offshore, including Atlantic crossings.

  • The course allows some time for revision of the basics and then moves on to advanced navigation techniques.
