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. 

The 14 day format is for students who have passed their 'Yacht Crew' certification ASA 101+103 and require instruction to obtain their ASA 104+106 certification.

In both cases the course will involve distance sailing, and acting as a skipper under the guide of your instructor.
