FAQ

Do I need a skipper license to join?

No. A skipper license is not required.

This training is suitable for:

* Future skippers building sea miles
* Students preparing for Bareboat Skipper certification
* Licensed skippers who want more confidence
* Sailors who simply want real hands-on experience

Sea miles completed during this program can count toward future certification requirements.

Can I combine this with a skipper course?

Yes. Many students book practical training after completing their skipper certification to build confidence before chartering independently.

Can I train on my own yacht?

Yes.   We offer training on our yacht or on your own boat (subject to location and availability).

Is this a certification course?

No. This is practical skill training only.
However, we can log your sea miles for personal records or future certifications

Most students choose 2–3 days for intensive maneuver training.
Longer programs (4–5 days) are recommended for mile building or advanced sailing practice.
