Arrival/Embarkation Times:

Our “7 Day Private RYA Practical Courses” commence at 16:00 hrs on first day on the course. We ask that you turn up earlier around 15:00 hrs to make sure you can find the yacht in the marina, have a coffee in the cafe and meet your instructor, fill out any paper work and be ready for when the yacht has finished being cleaned from the previous week so we can then get onboard and take our cabin’s. 

Crew list information will be required from each student after a booking has been made and this must be submitted 14 days before the start of a course (where possible). A link will be emailed to you once a booking has been completed. 

First night may be spent in the home port marina depending on how the afternoon is progressing. We will aim to get out of the marina to one of the gorgeous islands on the Adriatic Coast if possible as we all know you will be eager to get out sailing.

The islands we often visit include: Brac, Hvar, Solta, Pakleni Islands, Scedro, Vis and Korcula. (Please note you may not get to visit them all).

Breakfast & Lunch Provisions will be delivered to the yacht on the afternoon you arrive so the course will be ready to start once you have dropped your bags in a cabin. 

Evenings: We will either be in a new port, marina or harbour, spending the night on anchor or we will return to our home port. If there are not facilities to eat ashore provisions to make food onboard will be supplied. we provide a minimum of 3 nights in ports and harbours paid for. Extras ports can be discussed with your instructor but may come at a cost. 

(This is all depending on the weather and the particular course structure required for your chosen syllabus).

Disembarkation: All yachts will return to home port at 16:00 on the Friday afternoon of the course and all students are expected to assist with a general clean and tidy up of the yacht.  

Disembarkation: At 8am on the Saturday morning the following morning so cleaners can get onboard to sort the yacht out for the next course. 

Most students then decide to enjoy an end of course beverage in Bavadria bar located in the marina.
