 RYA Cruising Helmsman Course

Course Aim The RYA Helmsman course is taught onboard a motor cruiser of at least 7mtrs L.O.A. This is a two-day course and it is specific to the type of boat in which the course is carried out and therefore is particularly suitable for new owners of motor cruisers. It aims to teach seamanship & boat handling up to the standard required to skipper a motor cruiser safely by day in waters in which the student is familiar.

Own Boat Tuition

We recommend this if you intend to purchase or already have your own vessel. Before instruction can begin, the instructor must insure that the boat is in sound condition and is adequately equipped both for safety and effective instruction. Many of our existing clients have found that having a course structured around their particular vessel and equipment will give them more confidence in their cruising ability.

                Remember, this is your pleasure leisure time so ‘enjoy the journey’
