Yachtmaster Coastal - 5 Day Prep/Exam (RYA, USCG or other)

If you have now decided to go ahead and take the RYA’s Yachtmaster or Coastal Skipper practical examination, make sure that you are giving yourself the best chance of achieving your goal by having a few days training on your boat.

As an RYA examiner I will be able to tune up those boat handling skills, navigation techniques and total boat management principles to the standard that is expected of a yachtmaster or Coastal Skipper. As part of the training package there will be a full debriefing session at the end as well as an ongoing debriefing during the training. I will give you an honest opinion as to your potential on the examination. This type of training package is also suitable for any owner wishing to improve their overall skills but does not wish to take an examination.
