RYA Coastal Skipper Course Completion and Practical Exam
The aim of this course is to teach the skills and techniques required to skipper a yacht safely on coastal and offshore passages by day and night. Involving an overnight passage it’s ideal for competent Day Skippers who want to move on to more extended cruising in unfamiliar waters, in more challenging sailing conditions, and for longer periods of time. If successful the Skipper can then charter a Sunsail yacht from any Sunsail base worldwide.
