We offer the entire range of RYA motor cruising course from the Helmsman course through to preparing you for your Yachtmaster exam. We can also prepare and test you for your ICC motor boat up to 24m license.
Our Motor Yachts Used For Teaching RYA Cruising Courses
With a Fairline Phantom 46 flybridge motor yacht on hand we can usually offer any course at short notice. These RYA motor cruising courses all include accommodation on board the motor yacht at no extra charge. RYA motor cruising courses are the gateway to the ICC license. In order to skipper a yacht over 10m in length in international waters you will need to hold the RYA Day Skipper Practical Motor Cruising Course certificate which converts to the ICC license. If you feel you have the skills already then you can take you ICC direct assessment with us normally on a single day.
RYA Motor Cruising Helmsman Practical Course
Aimed at the beginner or a new owner of a motor cruiser this 2 day course teaches the basics of motor cruiser setup, safety and control at a cost of £495 per person. We find most students have taken the powerboat level 2 course, but this is not a requirement for the Helmsman course.
