RYA Competent Crew

All our sailing courses take place aboard "Millie", a Bavaria 46 Cruiser moored in Marina Naviera, right in the heart of Palma’s main paseo marítimo. You can see photos of the yacht in action and regular course updates on our Facebook page.

During the course, students live on board. The yacht has four double cabins and a saloon berth. All cabins are equipped with fans, although the boat is not air-conditioned. Bedding and towels are provided.

The course price ranges from 995€ to 1395€ per person, depending on your berth preference – own cabin, shared cabin, or saloon berth. If you choose to share a cabin it is important to note that although they fit 2 people, it is one bed not twin/single beds

As part of the course, students will take part in menu planning and provisioning for the week. We provide funding to cover essential meals, including breakfast, lunch, three evening meals, and basic refreshments (tea, coffee, and water). Meals tend to be simple and practical – cereal, sandwiches, and pasta-based dishes. This allowance is intended to cover the basics, so any extras or personal preferences would be at your own cost.

The itinerary (weather dependent) includes nights at anchor and at our home marina. If the crew decides to stay overnight in another marina or on a mooring buoy, those costs are shared among the students. Generally, depending on the weather you will either head towards St Elm/Andraxt or up towards the east coast.

This is a beginner-level, hands-on course for those who want to become active crew members rather than passengers. You’ll learn to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy, and take part in the daily routines on board.

Please note: This certificate does not qualify you to charter a yacht, but it is an excellent foundation for progressing to the Day Skipper course.
