The RYA Day Skipper Practical Course is an introduction to taking charge onboard a yacht, allowing you to put your basic navigation, pilotage, and sailing skills into practice. It will provide you with the opportunity to take command, and develop your leadership onboard, under the guidance of an experienced and friendly instructor.

On the course you will improve and practice your practical sailing skills including man overboard, sailing onto mooring buoys, coming along side and anchoring. You will be skippering for the first time, putting the navigation skills you learnt on the Day Skipper Theory course into practice.

Upon successful completion of the RYA Day Skipper Practical Course, you will be able to navigate and skipper a small yacht in familiar waters by day. This qualification is usually required when chartering a yacht as skipper anywhere in the world. Holders of the RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification can apply for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC).
