RYA Coastal Skipper Course

4.9(48)

By Go West Sailing

The RYA Coastal Skipper course is for sailors who want to go a little further afield. We will teach you advanced skippering techniques, including preparation for sea, pilotage, yacht handling under power and sail, and delegating duties to the crew. The course also includes emergency situations such as recovering a man overboard under power and sail. There will be plenty of practice in the harbour, learning to manoeuvre the boat in smaller places and mooring in a variety of conditions. We will practice blind navigation, so that if you are in heavy weather or fog you will make it to the nearest harbour safely. It is recommended that the coastal skipper theory course is completed prior to the practical course - however, there is the option to self-study. You also have to have logged 300 NM over 15 days at sea (including two as a skipper) and eight night sail hours. The course runs over five days and nights. You will be living on one of our fully coded yachts with up to four other crew members and your Yachtmaster Instructor. Your food is included in the cost, as is overnight stays in harbours. To add to the experience of gaining your RYA Coastal Skipper, you will get the benefit of continuing your sailing experience on the west coast of Scotland.

You won’t find any yacht charter business on the South Coast that will work harder to ensure you have a superb sailing experience on the Solent or beyond. We may be a small business, but we’re keen as mustard. Whatever your objectives are, we’re determined to help you meet them while having a load of fun, to boot. You’ll always talk to people who know the business and the boats inside out, and who can make decisions quickly. We’ll also get to know each other; you’ll never be just a booking form to us! Sail Squad is working hard to establish itself as a go-to milebuilding and yacht hire company on the Solent. To do that, we know we have to try harder, do more, be more responsive. But we’re up for it, and our customers can only benefit from such a can-do attitude. Whatever you need, we’ll bust a gut to make it happen – providing it’s safe, and providing it’s legal! We know what it’s like to go through the RYA sailing courses because we remember doing them ourselves. We’re not such salty old seadogs that we can’t remember what it’s like to learn to sail. So when you come milebuilding with us, we’ll be finely attuned to both the theory and practice you need for your next sailing course. Plus, the fact that we’ve chosen to base our yacht hire business on the Solent means we can offer you one of the most well-respected sailing experiences in the world. So if you’re looking for private yacht hire on the Solent (whether bareboat or skippered charter), or milebuilding experience for your RYA sailing qualifications, make sure we’re one of the companies you call. We promise you won’t be disappointed.
