Course requirements

You will be more comfortable if you purchase your own life jacket and harness, waterproofs, and deck shoes. A Breton / Portland plotter or similar, dividers, notepads and pencils are essential tools of your trade. Please phone for advice before purchasing expensive items.

The first month is your introduction to the Fastrack Yachtmaster course, introduction to the base, and all aspects of safety.

Our Instructors will spend the first few weeks teaching you all aspects of the RYA Competent Crew Course, RYA Day Skipper Practical and RYA Day Skipper Theory. Sailing from our base in Barcelona Palamos with its excellent study and recreational facilities you will learn how to control and command the yacht, in a variety of different situations. 

  • Month one - Competent Crew to Day Skipper

Back to the classroom in Palamos

One week's study for your RYA Coastal Skipper Theory certificate, there will be tense moments, but our instructors are there 24/7 to help you reach the required standard; hard work but the challenge is worth it. We will give you as much time and help as necessary.

Passage to Gibraltar

You're now ready to join the passage to Gibraltar (we may choose to fly you to our next base) - a 600-mile Passage  taking in a host of marinas and anchorages building up your sailing skills.

In Gibraltar you will continue with your sail training, close quarter yacht handling under power and sail, handling the yacht in extreme conditions and learning to manage your crew. 

  • 600+ mile passage to Gibraltar
  • A wealth of experience gained in marinas and anchorages en route
  • Close quarter yacht handling under sail and power
  • Visit Historic Queensway Quay Gibraltar
  • Sailing in The Straits Of Gibraltar
  • Visit The World Famous Waterfront Restaurant & Bar
  • Explore Gibraltar and Ocean Village
  • Visit Spain, Morocco and Portugal
  • Complete RYA MCA Qualifying Miles and Passages
  • Work as an active member of crew and learn how to Skipper
  • Continuous preparation for your Yachtmaster Offshore Assessment
  • Mile Building to Cadiz Chippiona Seville Lagos Ayamonte Tarifa Tangiers
  • Return to Barcelona Palamos for final weeks and Offshore Assessment

All students are finally ready to be prepared for the Yachtmaster Exam. The final few weeks will be intense, focusing on the weaker points to ensure you are well above the standard required. Now we are coaching you individually, those with perhaps a little prior sailing experience will be encouraged to sit the exam sooner, other students will benefit from one-to-one coaching. And finally the Big Day!

You will be so well prepared, having sailed so many quality sea miles, entered a host of different marinas, sailed tidal and non-tidal waters that, although maybe a little nervous, you’ll skipper with confidence.

The above is an outline of the course and is subject to change; with your commitment and your Spirit of Independence we will empower you with the skills to become a first class RYA Yachtmaster .

Essential training for the professional marine industry, the five-day STCW Basic Safety Training package provides all those attending with the practical skills and knowledge to comply with the mandatory requirements of the four modules of STCW 10 basic training. These are: STCW 10 Personal Survival Techniques

Realistic, practical, sea-based training. Have you had the opportunity to test yourself working in salt water, working with strangers to organise yourself in a liferaft with plumes of water beating down on you? Our one-day STCW 10 Personal Survival Training course is run fortnightly. Run by professional trainers who have really been there and done that, our training is a cut above other courses. Here you'll get the opportunity to jump into cold water, practice survival techniques in the sea and work with others to learn survival techniques. You will get the opportunity to test yourself in fully controlled, but more difficult conditions than those usually experienced in an indoor swimming pool. Unlike real-life conditions, you'll be wearing dry-suits and thermal clothing, but we aim for all other parts of the course to be as realistic as possible.
