RYA Marine First Aid Course Focuses on Emergency Care for Small Craft and Offshore Sailing

A specialized maritime safety program provides essential training through the RYA First Aid Course for Small Craft, designed specifically for emergency situations encountered aboard recreational boats and yachts. The course is widely recognized by maritime authorities including the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and World Sailing, and is commonly required for advanced certifications such as Yachtmaster qualifications.

Delivered over a focused one-day format, the training emphasizes real-world onboard scenarios rather than general first aid theory. Participants learn how to respond to emergencies such as cardiac arrest, hypothermia, dehydration, seasickness, injuries, and medical incidents occurring in offshore or coastal conditions. CPR training and patient assessment techniques form a core part of the curriculum.

A key aspect of the course is communication and coordination during emergencies at sea. Learners are trained to use VHF radio procedures to request assistance, manage distress situations, and work effectively with rescue services until help arrives. This practical approach ensures students are prepared for both short coastal trips and longer offshore passages.

Upon booking, participants are scheduled for in-person instruction with certified trainers. By the end of the course, students gain confidence in delivering life-saving care in marine environments, meeting the medical training standards required for safe recreational and professional boating operations.

Atlantic Marine Training have now trained a number of our members in the National Power Boat course and we keep using their services for a reason. Our instructors, Sam and Aaron, were incredibly informative and detailed, making sure every aspect of the course was clear. They balanced professionalism with a great sense of humor, which made the learning experience both enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend to anyone looking to take this course!

I completed the VHF Course with Sam in Greystones in July '25. The course was very well-structured, good pace, excellent instructions. By the time the exams came I felt I was very prepared. During day one the focus was on learning the theory of the VHF and all the channels and on day two we completed all the practicals and took the exams. I was delighted to pass the exams and receive the certificate. Thank you very much, Sam.

I just completed an intensive course to get my Irish VHF radio license for Sailing. I could not rate it more highly. Sam and his team are absolute professionals and we were provided with all of the content required. There was non-stop support by the team in our quests to qualify for the license. I could recommend it more highly. Colm
