Why This Course Is Different
At Jolly Roger Sailing, we don’t just teach Day Skipper Theory — we deliver the most engaging, modern, and effective navigation training available.
-
#DigitalFirst Approach – Learn navigation the way today’s skippers plan voyages: using trusted digital tools first, backed by traditional methods for independent verification. This means more time understanding why decisions are made, not just crunching numbers.
-
Tailored Learning – We specialise in shorebased courses and adapt to the needs of every student. Whether you’re a complete beginner or brushing up skills, our bespoke materials and small class sizes ensure you get the attention you deserve.
-
Experienced Instruction – Taught by our Principal Instructor with over 50,000 offshore miles, including Atlantic crossings. You’ll learn from someone who has lived the realities of navigation.
-
Beyond the Exam – Our goal isn’t just to get you through assessments — it’s to give you the confidence to skipper safely, plan efficiently, and enjoy your time on the water.
