RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy

Great experience with Paula A. as instructor, I would recommend to anyone interested.

Aleksandre February of 2025

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!

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.

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

Paola is an excellent, highly experienced (and very patient) instructor, and I was on a top quality and fun boat, learning how to Day Skipper around some of the most beautiful coastlines and islands in the world. 11/10, can't recommend highly enough.

Barry June of 2026

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.
