Day Skipper / Competent Crew course:
The RYA Day Skipper / Competent Crew courses always take place at the same time. It is a great learning opportunity for participants of both courses: Competent Crew candidates are able to see and support more experienced sailors, whilst Day Skipper candidates learn how to manage less experienced crew
RYA Competent Crew
Choose the RYA Competent Crew course if you are a beginner with very limited or no sailing experience. You will learn all the basics of sailing and you will become a competent and confident member of the crew, able to assist a skipper in all the maneuvers.
Day Skipper preparation week
Choose the Day Skipper preparation week course if:
- you have already a little sailing experience and would like to improve your skills and be better prepared BEFORE taking the RYA Day Skipper course, or
- if you already have a skipper license and want to refresh your skills without necessarily following the day skipper sillabus
Please contact us for advice if you have doubts.
RYA Day Skipper
Choose the RYA Day Skipper course instead if you have already quite a bit of sailing experience and would like to get your own skipper license. The RYA Day Skipper license is internationally recognised and accepted and will allow you to charter or skipper a yacht up to 24 meters.
IMPORTANT! To be able to charter a boat, you will also need an SRC marine radio license. We recommend you book our online course and then take the exam when you join us in Croatia. Here is the link to sign up SRC marine radio license
