Costa Brava Sailing Barcelona - RYA Weekly Sail Training Courses Spain & Gibraltar
RYA Approved Training Centre
RYA Day Skipper Practical*
A practical course: 6 nights aboard and 5 days sailing £495
RYA Day Skipper Practical is a must for skippers who wish to take out their family and friends, the entry level to skippering and a minimum qualification.
Choose either of these fabulous sunshine locations, sail with dolphins in Marina Bay Gibraltar (tidal). Or sail along Spain’s unspoilt Costa Brava (non-tidal) anchoring in some of Europe’s most beautiful bays.
On completion of the Day Skipper practical course you will be able to skipper a yacht in familiar waters by day. Our instructors will teach you yacht handling under power and sail, tidal passages, basic collision regulations, sail setting and much much more.
* You should have the necessary level of skill required for Day Skipper theory prior to the course; if not you have the following options:
- A two week combination course; covering all the theory and practical sailing, plenty of sailing every day, and a mix of theory as you progress through the course
- a five-day theory course at either location in one of our modern, fully-equipped classrooms
- study / revise RYA theory at our UK shore-based facility, prior to arrival

RYA Theory Courses
RYA Theory, come prepared - these courses are challenging and thought provoking. Fastrackers learn in modern classrooms with first class facilities. We believe that your theory should be taught ashore before you put theory into practice.
Theory in Comfort
At our UK shore based facility you can study your theory in comfort. Based in the Cotswolds near junction 15 M4 you can stay for a week. Master the theory before arriving for our weekly RYA courses. Call for information.
