Day Skipper

Take control of the yacht “and” your crew. During this five-day 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.

Pre Course Requirements

The RYA Day Skipper practical course requires that you complete the RYA Day Skipper Theory shore-based course to ensure you have the navigational skills required for the practical.

You must have completed;

  • 5 days of sailing

  • 100 nautical miles

  • 4 night hours on board a sailing yacht.


Our advice is to pick up the RYA Day Skipper Handbook and have a stress free read through so you are familiar with some of the vocabulary used on yachts.

*All sailing courses will require that you are in physically good shape.
