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 manoeuvres.
Day Skipper preparation week
Choose the Day Skipper preparation week course if:
you have already some sailing experience and would like to improve your skills and be better prepare 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 syllabus.
If you have doubts, feel free to contact us for advice.
RYA Day Skipper
Choose the RYA Day Skipper course 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 charter a boat you will also need an SRC marine radio license. We recommend you to book and complete our online course and take the exam once you join us in Croatia. Here is the link to sign up SRC marine radio license
You can also book the Day Skipper + SRC radio license package.
