RYA Yachtmaster Sail Prep-course and exam (YMP603)

Course content

This is an intensive training to prepare you for the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster exam. The prep course is conducted by our Chief Instructor personally. He will assess your ability and coach you in all the disciplines required to pass the exam.

Your prep-course consists of a one day theory booster session at our training centre and 4 days of practicing your practical seamanship skills.

Our theory booster has proven to be invaluable for candidates to get their knowledge of the Yachtmaster theory up to the highest level. We will brush up and sharpen your knowledge of passage planning, meteorology, safety at sea, maintenance, navigation, pilotage, and knowledge of the International Collision Regulations. 

During the practical part of the prep-course, you will take command of the yacht on passages by day and night and perfection your boat handling techniques under power and sail including the use of radar, "blind" navigation and the Man-Over-Board recovery drill. 

At the end of each day our Chief Instructor will give you a debrief and coach you towards reaching the standard for a successful examination.

Each student who wishes to take the exam will be examined for 6-10 hours by an independent RYA Yachtmaster Examiner (examination fee payable to the RYA) as they skipper the yacht on short passages and complete various demonstrations of advanced skippering techniques during their exam during day and night.
