The RYA Day Skipper practical course teaches you how to skipper a yacht, and is the certificate you need to be allowed to charter a yacht. It’s a big step up but tremendous fun. You will learn to navigate, develop boat handling skills in a marina, including docking skills, and you’ll skipper your first short passages.
You’ll start to learn much more about how to manage the yacht safely, how to trim sails and what to do if conditions deteriorate while you are out on the water. As part of this, you will experience a night sail and various challenges that come with that. You’ll learn about basic weather forecasts, engine checks and passage planning.
Holders of the Day Skipper practical certificate can gain an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) without any further training or assessment.
Previous experience required
Basic sailing ability and knowledge of navigation to the level of RYA Day Skipper theory.

in the last weekI've had the best experience with Julio Verne! Communication with Jessica was very clear and fast, Daniel was amazing during check in and check out and available for questions during the charter. The condition of the boat was wonderful, clean inside and out and well maintained. Thank you, and I'll be back for more!
