Quick Answers
What experience do I need?
It depends on the course. Our Competent Crew is designed for complete beginners with
zero sailing experience. Day Skipper requires basic crew skills and theory knowledge.
Each course listing shows its prerequisites clearly.
Can I pay a deposit instead of the full amount?

All practical courses include your berth aboard, fuel, marina fees, course materials,
RYA certification, wet weather gear, and hot drinks. You just need to bring personal
