YACHT CAPTAIN, ASA 101-104

 

 

The 'Yacht Captain' practical course is a challenging course designed for those who want to be able to skipper a yacht up to 17m in length in tidal & non-tidal waters in unfamiliar areas, by day and night, and in all types of weather. The course is designed in a 10 day and 14 day format. 

The 10 day format is for students who already have their 'Bare-boat skipper' Certification (ASA 101-104) and require further instruction to obtain their ASA 106 credit.
