We find that a lot of students prefer to study RYA Day Skipper Theory online rather than in the classroom because it allows you to set your own pace and fit around other work/life commitments, in the comfort of your home, at work, or even when away on business.

• The course is run fully online with immediate feedback to questions: there’s no waiting for an instructor to reply to an email or telephone call and certainly no delays in posting your answers for marking. Everything is instant
• The course takes approximately 40 hours to complete and you have six months to complete the course, with an option to extend for a further six months for a small admin fee of £30. You can extend a maximum of three times giving two years access.
• Once you have completed your final exam and received your certificate you will receive complimentary access for revision purposes
• The study pack includes plotter and brass dividers navigational instruments

You will have your own personal Yachtmaster Instructor who will monitor your progress through the course and provide additional feedback and encouragement. They will reply personally to your emails and will call you to offer support if you request it.

Prefer the classroom – then check out our 9-day Day Skipper Express course including RYA Day Skipper Theory and Practical, running 16:00 Fridays to 16:00 Sunday twice monthly

Putting your RYA Day Skipper Theory into use..

Once you’ve completed your Day Skipper Theory, you are ready to undertake the RYA Day Skipper Practical.

We operate Day Skipper sailing courses throughout the year here in Gibraltar, giving you access to the best sailing training experiences available. Everyday is a sailing day and most of those days have favourable winds and warm conditions. Plus you’ll have the opportunity to try every style of berthing from coming alongside to tricky Mediterranean mooring, which is commonly required for those planning on bareboat chartering or flotilla holidays in the Mediterranean.
