This course is an introduction to taking charge
onboard a motor cruiser, allowing you to put your basic navigation,
pilotage, and boating skills into practice. It will provide you with
the opportunity to take command, and develop your leadership onboard,
under the guidance of an experienced and friendly instructor. The RYA
Day Skipper Practical course can be completed on a 4 day or 2 weekend
course, or why not combine it on one of our 8 day Combined Day Skipper
Theory and Practical Motor Cruising Courses. On the course you will improve and practice your practical motorboating skills including man overboard, picking up mooring buoys, coming along side and anchoring. You will be skippering for the first time, putting the navigation skills you learnt on the Day Skipper Theory course into practice. Upon successful completion of the RYA Day Skipper Practical Course, you will be able to navigate and skipper a small motor cruiser in familiar waters by day. This qualification is usually required when chartering a motor cruiser as skipper anywhere in the world. Holders of the RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification can apply for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). |
