Who is a Private Yacht Training Week for?
Depending on your previous level of experience expect to learn to skipper on a short passage with the instructor on hand to give advice and encouragement and ensure your safety.
Experience being in charge, taking credit when it all goes well and being responsible when it doesn’t.
Before this course, if you are not sure that your sailing is up to speed, a good way to learn is on an RYA Level 2 dinghy course however for RYA Competent Crew certificates for families or individuals no prior training is required just turn up, enjoy and learn.
Our Professional RYA Instructors will teach you to sail around a course and control the boat’s speed, depending on the course you take: Start Yachting, Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper courses can all be taken onboard your private weeks charter.
If it’s help with navigation that you need, you should take our Day Skipper Online or Shorebased Course’s (see Navigation and seamanship theory).
Overall:
Depending on the courses you choose this can be one of the best introductions to sailing, could be the pre-entry level and the minimum requirement for chartering yachts in many locations around the world if you are at a level to take your RYA Day Skipper and meet the pre course requirements, couple it with your VHF license and off you go.
Yacht Sail Training always recommends furthering your experience with a professional skipper and one of the best ways is to work through the RYA Syllabus.
