David June of 2026

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.

Jose Antonio December of 2023

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!

Manuela October of 2022

RYA Day Skipper Course, Genoa, Italy

Communication with the front office was punctual and clear. Our very trained, professional and empathetic instructor Fabrizio helped us in every phase of the training so that we could get the best possible result. From a technical point of view, which is the focus in such an activity, excellent experience.

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

Great week learning how to sail with William. He has two boats and I was on the boat with more experienced crew. Had my own very comfortable cabin. Only 3 crew so we all got to skipper for two days each. It was fun, exhilarating and of course stunning scenery. William is patient and has a ton of knowledge to share. Hug

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.

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
