Gianluca November of 2025

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.

Pavel September of 2025

RYA Day Skipper Course, Genoa, Italy

I did an RYA Day skipper course with Saby as my instructur. Everything was great! This was an intensive course, but that is exactly what I wanted. I truly felt like the amount of knowledge gained was worth the price!

Saby was a great instructor that showed a lot of passion for both sailing and teaching! Thanks a lot!

RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy

I have joined the Competent Crew course, it was my first experience on a boat! William is a truly incredible instructor and capitan. Despite the rain, the wind or other challenges he was always calm and positive! He embraced our mistakes with poise and humour hoping they would help us to learn! Looking forward to back!

RYA Day Skipper Course, Genoa, Italy

Hi. We had a great week with four us on board. Ian was the consummate professional in training us, he was great fun and we couldn't recommend him more highly.

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.

Schär April of 2025

RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy

I am thrilled with the course. We learned a lot in a short time. Despite the large amount of material to cover, we also had a lot of fun and were able to enjoy the incredibly beautiful natural surroundings. Thank you very much for the great course, which I would gladly recommend to others.

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.
