Day Skipper / Competent Crew

Day Skipper / Competent Crew course:

The RYA Day Skipper / Competent Crew course 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.

RYA Day Skipper

Choose the RYA Day Skipper course instead if you have already 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
