Description

An RYA Yachtmaster Competence Certificate means that a skipper is competent to operate a yacht for passages up to 150nm from the port (20nm for Coastal). The Yachtmaster can be taken in either sail or motor, with two different preparation courses and exams

The Offshore/Coastal Yachtmaster is achieved through an exam that involves excercises, challenges and tasks from any part of the syllabus to demonstrate the skippers ability and confidence.

We will help you prepare, putting you in the best position for the exam.
