The Day Skipper Theory Online course provides a solid introduction to coastal navigation, pilotage, seamanship, and essential meteorology for aspiring skippers. Designed to prepare you for real-world decision-making on the water, it guides you through chartwork, tides, weather interpretation, buoyage systems, and key safety practices. With a blend of structured lessons, worked examples, and guided exercises, you’ll build the confidence and technical foundation needed to plan safe coastal passages.
Ideal for those preparing for the RYA Day Skipper Practical course, this online programme allows you to learn at your own pace while accessing instructor support whenever you need it. By completing your theory first, you’ll be fully ready to make the most of your practical week, which assumes that students already understand the core navigational and safety principles.
