The Coastal Skipper course includes coastal passages that require watch-keeping, navigation and pilotage by day and night. Safety and seamanship drills are practised in an offshore setting.
RYA Yachtmaster Shorebased Theory is the companion course to Coastal Skipper. It provides the underpinning theory knowledge required at this level.
Yacht captains responsible for coastal passages should also consider courses in Marine First Aid, Safety and Sea Survival and Marine Radio Operation all of which are mandatory for commercial Yachtmasters.
The RYA Coastal Skipper course provides you with the opportunity to develop your seamanship, boat handling and navigation skills offshore by day and night. It is a stepping stone towards the Yachtmaster Certificates of Competence.
