Yachtmaster Preparation

All students are ready to be prepared for the Yachtmaster Exam. The weeks training will be intense, focusing on the weaker points to ensure you are well above the standard required. We coach you at your pace so you benefit from one-to-one coaching. And finally the Big Day!

You will be so well prepared, having sailed so many quality sea miles, entered a host of different marinas, sailed tidal and non-tidal waters that, although maybe a little nervous, you’ll skipper with confidence.

Following your successful Yachtmaster exam you can apply to undertake the Cruising Instructor course. This will qualify you to teach up to Day Skipper level under an RYA approved sea school.
