Day Skipper course

Your experienced and patient instructor will teach you these skills and you will put them into practice as you skipper the yacht on short passages along the Turkish coastline. There is particular emphasis on boat handling for Day Skippers and during the 5/6 day course you will practice mooring under various conditions. Students live aboard for the duration of the course and visit many different harbours and anchorages to practice pilotage techniques which, like boat handling, is an essential skill for the aspiring skipper. You will complete at least 4 night hours sailing to experience night pilotage and identify lights.

At the end of the RYA Day Skipper course you will be confident to skipper a cruising yacht on short passages by day. Students who successfully complete the Day Skipper course are awarded the RYA Day Skipper practical course completion certificate and can charter from the school.

This course will also enable you to apply for the ICC (International Certificate of Competence). This qualification is required by most European countries to validate your competence to own or charter a boat. The ICC, obtained by presenting your RYA Day Skipper certificate with the completed ICC application form (available from the centre) to the RYA, will cover you for sailing yachts up to 24 metres in length in coastal waters. If you are looking for a commercial endorsement you will also need to complete the PPR course.

Previous Experience Recommended: 5 days aboard, 100 miles logged and 4 night hours. Basic sailing ability and a knowledge of navigation to the level of the RYA Day Skipper Theory.

Course Duration: Courses start Saturday boarding at 17:00 returning to the marina around midday on Friday. Students may stay on board until Saturday morning disembarking by 08:00.
