Yachtmaster Offshore Motor

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence is a highly regarded worldwide qualification proving the experience and competence of a skipper. Sufficient experience and sea time form the eligibility criteria for taking the Yachtmaster exam.

The Yachtmaster offshore motor exam preparation week provides five days of practical boat handling and theory revision with all aspects of the examination organized, followed by the practical examination which can be up to 2 days.

Pre Course Requirements

The RYA Yachtmaster Coastal exam requires that you have a GMDSS SRC VHF Certificate & a valid First aid at sea certificate
 

You must have completed;

  • 50 days at sea (5 of which, being the Skipper)

  • 2500 nautical miles (half being in tidal waters)

  • 5 Passages over 60 miles (2 of which acting as Skipper)

  • 2 overnight passages over 60 miles

  • All qualifying sea time must be within 10 years prior to the exam


Most Yachtmaster candidates choose to book themselves into an RYA training centre for some tailor-made tuition to prepare them for the exam. This is not compulsory but if you have not previously undertaken any formal training it is unlikely that you will pass the exam.

*All sailing courses require a certain amount of physical activity.  If you are unsure as to your ability to take part in a course please contact us to discuss.
