The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Sail Prep Course is an intensive 5-day advanced training program designed for experienced sailors preparing for the demanding 2-day practical RYA Yachtmaster Offshore exam. Globally recognised as the pinnacle of sailing qualifications, the Yachtmaster Offshore certificate allows sailors to skipper yachts on coastal and offshore passages without limitation. Whether you're an amateur aiming to reach the highest level of seamanship or a professional seeking new maritime career opportunities, this course equips you with the confidence, precision, and expertise required to perform at exam level.
Led by an expert RYA Yachtmaster Instructor, the prep course focuses on evaluating your existing skills, refining your boat handling, navigation, tidal work, pilotage, crew management, and decision-making under pressure. You are expected to arrive with strong sailing experience and advanced theory knowledge, including proficiency in COLREGS, passage planning, and tidal calculations. Over the week, any gaps are identified and strengthened to ensure you are fully prepared to succeed in the practical exam immediately following the course.
