Skippering a motor yacht for the first time can be a daunting yet exhilarating experience.
The Day Skipper Practical Course is designed to teach you to "Take Charge" safely and confidently.
A skipper does much more than navigate, they are responsible for the complete safety and well being of the motor yacht and crew.

These responsibilities include weather forecasting, victualling, engine maintenance, motor boat handling, passage planning, watch keeping, navigation and pilotage. Your experienced and patient instructor will teach you these skills and you will put them into practice as you skipper the boat on short passages around the Balearics. There is a particular emphasis on boat handling for Day Skippers and during the 4 days you will practice mooring under various conditions.

You will complete at least 4 night hours motoring to experience night pilotage and identify lights. At the end of the course you will be confident to skipper a motor yacht on short passages by day.

Students who successfully complete the Day Skipper course are awarded the Day Skipper Completion Certificate and can charter from the school.
