Before the days of Covid 19 the Combined RYA Day Skipper Theory and Practical course run over 9 days – starting on a Saturday and finishing on the Sunday 9 days later - represented the ultimate in cost effective training. It worked well for some people but if we are honest it was always 'a cram' trying to get 5 days intensive theory into 4 days including exams.

Covid 19 has made classroom courses problematic and the practical courses are now all day sailing with no overnight stays possible for a Crew of 5 people plus instructor. But we now offer a much more effective solution in the form of a Combined course package comprising theory by home study or hybrid (home study plus live online video) and then a standard 5 day practical (Mon - Fri). The result is a course that gets the theory done properly, a practical course thats just as effective as before, and a combined price offer thats' better than the old 9 day course prices.

NB Old 9 Day Combined Day Skipper Courses are suspended until further notice due to Covid.

Instead we recommend that you complete the New Combined Day Skipper Theory and Practical as a home study or hybrid online course and then book any of the weekend or 5 day options for the Day Skipper Practical.

Theory Course: Standard (Home Study) £225. Or: Hybrid (Home Study plus 9 live online video classes ) £350

You will need a plotter and dividers. Price £25 may be added to your booking.

Practical Course: Choose any standard practical course format and dates. NB During Covid practical courses are running as day sailing only with no overnight accommodation.
