International Certificate of Competence (ICC)

The ICC is a certificate asked for in many European Countries in order to charter a yacht. In the UK, in order to obtain an ICC, your knowledge level should be similar to RYA Day Skipper. As well as being able to handle the yacht under sail and power we also expect good knowledge of Day Skipper navigation, collision regulations and tidal theory.

We can offer a minimum one day assessment for an ICC. The RYA Day Skipper Practical Certification enables you to apply straight for an ICC without having to do any further assessments.

If you are unsure about the level of your knowledge in order to take an ICC please enquire with us.

Ladies Only RYA Courses

For those of you who want to start sailing or learn more and gain confidence to take charge on a yacht. This is ideal for anyone for anyone who feels their partner is not the best person to learn with, for anyone who wants to learn without men taking charge, or for those women who just want to learn to sail during an informal week in the sunshine, not the cold.

We only take a maximum of four students and instructor. You will get the chance to have a go at everything and should feel confident to sail a yacht in our area as skipper at the end of your week sailing.

Price: £550/person (excludes travel)

 

Assisted Sailing/Learn to sail whilst on holiday

Our Assisted Sailing is aimed a novice sailors, dinghy sailors, newly qualified Competent Crews or newly qualified Day Skippers.

Have a skipper with you at the start of your holiday to build confidence to sail yourselves for the rest of the week (with our support where required). The aim of assisted sailing is to cover the basics and the important safety aspects for our area so you are comfortable entering/leaving harbours, anchoring in bays, sailing in light - moderate winds and enjoying your holiday.

Assisted sailing lets you have the practice at skippering/sailing your own yacht and building miles. It is a fantastic way to build confidence with the sailing/boat handling etc in a relatively easy sailing area without needing to join a flotilla. More Information
