The RYA Day Skipper Practical (Sail) is an immersive five-day course designed for sailors ready to step up and take full command of a cruising yacht. Based on the Costa Blanca, you’ll train in small groups under the guidance of an RYA Senior Instructor, learning by doing as you take charge of the vessel, the crew, and real on-water situations. With a cruising area that includes Dénia, Jávea, Moraira, and Altea, you’ll practice essential skills such as sailing and manoeuvring, marina berthing, anchoring, passage planning, weather interpretation, navigation, and emergency procedures. Each day offers structured training while living aboard the yacht, giving you the ideal environment to build confidence and competence.

This region offers not only excellent training conditions but also a unique Mediterranean cultural backdrop. Dénia’s four marinas, scenic coves, and dramatic cliffs provide a safe and rewarding learning environment, while its maritime history and UNESCO-recognized gastronomy make your experience even more memorable. With guidance at every step, you’ll progressively take on the responsibilities of a skipper—making decisions, delegating tasks, and ensuring onboard safety. By the end of the course, successful students earn the internationally respected RYA Day Skipper Practical Certificate, allowing you to charter yachts and skipper in familiar waters by day.
