The RYA Day Skipper certificate is the first ‘skipper-level’ qualification and a pivotal milestone in the RYA training scheme. It is akin to getting your Private Pilots Licence but for sailing.
The RYA Day Skipper Practical course follows the RYA Competent Crew course and will teach you the essential practical skills of the skipper. You can complete the course over five days or three weekends.
RYA Day Skipper Shorebased Theory provides the underpinning knowledge required at this level. If you’re short on time though, the RYA Essential Navigation and Seamanship online course will give you the essentials. Marine First Aid and Marine Radio Operator are also important certifications for Day Skippers.
If you’re ready for some time off and want to progress quickly check out our Day Skipper Fast Track course. This is an intensive and exhilarating four-week training adventure leading to a package of valuable and internationally recognised qualifications.
