From never setting foot on a yacht to becoming a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster, Sail and Power Academy has a course for every level.
Competent Crew
The RYA Competent Crew course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers. You will experience living on board and really get to know the boat.
Virtually all the course is hands-on. You are the crew - without you, the sails won't go up and the boat won't be steered. By the end of the course, you should be able to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy and assist in all the day to day duties on board. The course becomes a rewarding holiday visiting different areas

Day Skipper
Take control of the yacht “and” your crew.
During this five-day RYA Day Skipper practical course, you will be given full responsibility at the helm for the crew and navigation with the instructor on hand at all times to provide advice and encouragement and to ensure your safety.
There’s no getting away from it – passing involves some work, some practice, and some dedication. But RYA Day Skipper is your ticket to freedom.
Coastal Skipper
Advanced skippering techniques for yachtsmen and women with considerable knowledge of sailing and
navigation, wanting to undertake coastal passages by day and night.
​
Like the Day Skipper course, the RYA Coastal Skipper course consists of skippered passages in a variety of situations. Each trainee will skipper more challenging passages and learn more about passage planning, pilotage by day and night, boat handling, safety and emergency situations.
