5-day practical Day Skipper course - Gibraltar

A crossing to Ceuta from Gibraltar on a Bavaria is a unique experience. The captain is a genius, who knows what he is doing and makes you have a good time. With winds of more than 30 knots and waves of more than 3 meters, he remained calm and safe on board at all times. I learned a lot and had more fun. Recommendable!

RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy

One of the best experiences ever. The knowledge, the passion, the commitment, and genuinity of Daniele is unmatched.What a gem. Daniele transformed our group into a cohesive beautiful crew. Even though we were unlucky with the weather some days, Daniele always managed to turn it around to a great day.

Offshore Skipper Course with RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia

It was a very interesting and educational RYA course, thanks to the professionalism of all the instructors involved. All of this took place in a unique setting, both for the beautiful nature and the lush greenery of the marina.

5-day practical Day Skipper course - Gibraltar

I really enjoyed the experience - Nacho was an excellent instructor who got the most out of everything: the weather, the boat and those on the course. Everyone who joined the course was great company and I really enjoyed the sailing, the learning and the time on shore.
I would recommend people book a private cabin.

RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy

An incredible week in Sardinia. The scenery didn’t disappoint but the best of all was the sailing instructed and guided by William! A truly passionate and professional sailor, and also the kindest and one of the most knowledgeable persons about life at sea I’ve met. His way of instructing, and being a host on the boat,

RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy

William is an experienced and knowledgeable instructor. He was patient and kind, and I've learned a lot from him.
The boat itself was in great condition. I have stayed on the boat for the course duration and was quite comfortable.
I also liked the region where the course took place.
I will return for the next course!

Day Skipper Course

El Day Skipper Course de la Royal Yachting Association es la primera formación que nos habilitará para navegar como patrones de pequeñas embarcaciones a vela en aguas que conozcamos durante la salida y la puesta de sol y cerca de la costa. Este certificado sería el equivalente a la Licencia de Navegación o el título de Patrón de Navegación Básica en España, con la diferencia de que el "Day Skipper" no está recomendado para la navegación nocturna.

Además, si no tenemos los conocimientos téoricos suficientes, la RYA recomienda realizar previamente el curso teórico de Day Skipper, un curso de 40 horas que puede realizarse presencialmente o a distancia y que incluye un test final para acreditar la asimilación de conocimientos. A diferencia de la formación de los títulos náuticas en España, la RYA incluye formación en navegación electrónica en este curso.
Contenido del Day Skipper Course
El curso de Day Skipper de la Royal Yachting Association está compuesto por los siguientes contenidos:
- Preparación para el mar, trabajo de cubierta.
- Navegación.
- Patronía.
- Meteorología.
- Reglamento Internacional.
- Trabajos de mantenimiento y reparación.
- Motores.
- Avituallamiento.
- Situaciones de emergencia.
- Manejo de barcos a motor y manejo de velas.
- Travesías nocturnas.
- Uso de cartas de navegación en papel y electrónicas, llamadas DSC.
- Uso de la radio.
- Uso de bengalas, arneses de seguridad, salvavidas y balsas.
Características del Day Skipper Course

El curso de Day Skipper de la RYA se caracteriza por tener una duración total de cinco días completos, durante los cuales los alumnos aprenden lo necesario para empezar a navegar de forma autónoma.
