Schedule courses, take bookings, issue RYA certificates, track instructor qualifications, and run fleet operations — all in one platform. The whole RYA syllabus is pre-loaded. So is everything you’ve been doing in spreadsheets.
A real centre’s month: courses, boats, instructors — one calendar.
Broad Reach replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, email templates, paper sign-offs and standalone booking widgets that most RYA training centres rely on. One platform, end-to-end.
Every RYA course — Start Yachting through Yachtmaster Ocean, plus the Sail Cruising, Powerboat, Dinghy, Windsurfing and Personal Watercraft schemes — ready to schedule. Add your own non-RYA courses alongside.
Run a Day Skipper Practical and a Competent Crew on the same yacht. Share an instructor across two courses. Stack a Yachtmaster prep on the same week. Conflicts are caught before you save.
For Mile Builders, Yachtmaster prep weeks and any liveaboard course: sell cabins per berth, per tier. Allocation, capacity and pricing handled automatically.
Own Boat Tuition, mile-builders, family charters, refresher hours — same calendar as your scheduled RYA courses, with custom hours and bespoke pricing.
The full RYA syllabus for every course, on the boat, on any device. Instructors tick competencies as they go. It all syncs straight to the student record.
Generated on course completion. Your centre branding, instructor signature, and emailed straight to the student. Optional — switch it off for centres that prefer to issue manually.
Tomorrow’s manifest in one click. A student’s full RYA course history in another. Search any past trip by boat, instructor or date — useful for RYA inspection visits.
Students see their progress, certificates, next courses. Instructors see their roster, students, sign-off sheets. Inbound "when is my course?" questions drop to near-zero.
RYA Yachtmaster Instructor, Cruising Instructor, Powerboat Trainer — track every qualification and expiry date. Reminders fire before revalidations lapse.
Per-vessel logs for services, defects, coding renewals, and reminders. Useful for MCA Coding inspections as well as day-to-day fleet ops.
Marine forecast and tide times overlaid on every trip. Plan course start times around the tide, brief students on conditions, decide on weather contingencies.
Confirmations, joining instructions, pre-course pre-reads, post-course certificates, follow-ups, feedback requests — all written, all branded, all triggered at the right moment.
Sell theory online between practical weeks. Recurring revenue, weather-proof. In active development — ask about the roadmap.
Not every booking is a course. Bareboat charters, skippered days, and delivery trips on the same calendar as your courses. In active development.
Most booking tools were built for hotels and gyms. The RYA-specific bits — syllabus sign-off, RYA-format certificates, instructor revalidation, MCA-coded vessel tracking — are first-class here, not bolt-ons.
Online booking, payments, calendar, certificates, waivers, instructor portal, student portal, email and SMS automation. One platform, one bill, one place your data lives.
1.75% platform fee on bookings. No monthly fees. No per-booking caps. Quiet months cost nothing. Busy weeks are still profitable. See pricing →
