RYA Coastal Skipper Sailing Course

The RYA Coastal Skipper course builds on the skills you will have learnt during your RYA Day Skipper Practical course.  Lanzarote offers tidal waters with year round sunshine, making it a pleasure to sail. 

The RYA Coastal Skipper Course covers advanced skippering techniques in terms of boat handling and passage planning. Moving you from the shorter day passages at Day Skipper level to longer coastal passages.

The course also focuses on giving you a higher level of independence, crew management, watch-keeping routines and navigating in both day and night, which is often  in unfamiliar waters, so a higher level of overall navigational and pilotage skills is required, so it recommended you have passed the RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtsmaster Offshore Theory course prior to attending.

At the successful completion of the RYA Coastal Skipper course you will be awarded the RYA Coastal Skipper Course Completion Certificate and will be able to skipper coastal passages safely and confidently.

You will then have the opportunity at the end of the course to have 2 days ashore (Saturday and Sunday) and explore the delights of Lanzarote.  You could hire a bicycle (if still feeling energetic) or a car and travel inland to see the treasures of the island.  It may be a trip to Timanfaya or a trip to Cesar Manriques house.  Or you may just wish to walk the stunning coastal paths.  But with such a wide range of activities/trips available it is the perfect end to the week.
