If you’re thinking of a career in sailing or upskilling yourself, this is the step towards Yachtmaster. This course is non-tidal at our base in Port d’Aro on the Costa Brava in Spain, and tidal at Marina Bay, Gibraltar. You can take MCA Examinations in a non-tidal area providing you have sufficient tidal miles leading to tidal certification.
You will need 300 sea miles on cruising yachts, and coastal skipper/yachtmaster theory. This is an advanced course and includes night navigation, yacht handling under sail, anchoring under power and sail and much more. On completion you will be able to complete inshore and offshore passages by day and night. This qualification can be MCA-endorsed for commercial use.
Theory (residential)
You will need to have a sound understanding of the theory before undertaking the practical course. If not, you can do the two-week combination course, or study in one of our classrooms for 5 days. You do not need to hold a certificate in the theory to attend the practical course, but you may find it a very tough challenge.
