Mile Builder/Yachtmaster Preparation

An RYA Yachtmaster certificate of competence is often the ultimate aim of aspiring skippers. It is a highly respected qualification, well-known world-wide, proving your experience and competence as a skipper.

Unlike other courses in the yacht cruising programme, there is no formal training to complete in order to become a Yachtmaster. Instead, provided that you have sufficient experience and sea-time, you can put yourself forward for an examination to test your skills and knowledge.

We are able to offer Yachtmaster candidates the opportunity to cruise with us thereby building sea-time and gaining experience in preparation for the Yachtmaster examination.
