The transition from pleasure to professionalism requires more than just practice at the helm. To pass the exam RYA Yachtmaster Offshore SAILit is essential to demonstrate total mastery of both the boat and international regulations. I have structured this 4-day course to offer you comprehensive training that alternates between intensive sessions at sea and technical modules in the classroom.
The goal is only one: to give you the mathematical certainty that you can tackle the Yachtmaster course and come out of it promoted, with a preparation that goes far beyond the basic standards.
A skipper's safety begins on land, before he even casts off. In the classroom we will delve into everything that turns a navigator into a professional:
At sea, we will put theory into practice under pressure. We will focus on handling the boat in all conditions, with a special focus on the night navigation. You will learn to recognise lighthouse sectors, ship lights and maintain orientation when visual references diminish.
We will work on the leadership and crew managementsimulating examination situations in which your ability to give clear orders and make quick decisions will be decisive.
Many skippers fail the Yachtmaster because they neglect the details of the routing or get caught in the currents. With this 4-day training, we will close any gaps. You will have the basics, the technical certainties and the mindset to face the Royal Yachting Association with the knowledge of someone who knows exactly what he is doing.
Set yourself up for success. Turn your skills into a global career with Sea You Group.
Read the full information on thehealth insurance included with your experience.
* Participants will have to book accommodation outside the boat at their own expense if they wish to arrive at the course destination before or prior to the purchased experience.
If, for health or emergency reasons, the participant is unable to participate in the experience, he/she will lose the possibility of obtaining a refund or participating in another experience. We therefore recommend purchasing our SeaYou Safe Return insurance for an additional fee of 7%. This insurance allows you to cancel your departure even the day before! In the event of cancellation, you will be reimbursed the full cost of the experience/holiday, provided that the participant has already paid the full price of the package. In addition, in the case of a regular trip you will receive a voucher to the value of the policy to use on your next membership.
E.g. Mario buys an experience for € 1000, adding the 'Safe Return' insurance Mario will spend € 1070 at checkout.
Mario, due to family problems, will have to give up his departure a week earlier.
Sea You will credit Mario €1,000 while the €70 can be used for his next booking.

I sailed in the Norwegian Fjords with Riccardo, a beautiful experience, I never expected such beauty, even the little villages we visited, really enchanting. The sailing was also enjoyable, I didn't think that sailing and carrying a boat was so pleasant.
Aeolian Islands fantastic, very nice skipper, experience to be repeated!!! Put other destinations!!!
My friends and I had the Adventure experience in Croatia, we learned so many things and techniques that no one had ever taught us. Beautiful places, we ate and sailed like crazy!
Thailand spectacular my friends and I had a great time, taking a boat with us and visiting the peninsula was fantastic!
A Greece seen like this, incomparable!
With Riccardo and Sergio I tackled the Atlantic....unbelievable experience
Safe navigation, skipper always very attentive, I am happy with the experience, I highly recommend visiting the Caribbean seas with Riccardo
Beautiful Greece, super close-knit group
I learnt how to take my first steps on a monohull sailboat in the Caribbean, so happy to have had this experience!
Riccardo made us fall in love with sailing, beautiful Lofoten!
Every day a unique thrill, being able to wake up and have breakfast in the midst of the Fjiordi is priceless, sailing under the Northern Lights and seeing whales is priceless
I never thought I would be able to sail a boat, thank you for the great experience, you are number one
Thanks for the wonderful experience
Treinando no oceano foi uma aventura única, alcançar certas velocidades parecia impossível. Além disso, a gestão da segurança me ajudou muito a aprofundar assuntos que antes eram desconhecidos para mim.
Geweldige ervaring, Riccardo is gek!
Beautiful and interesting journey
Fantastic way to learn sailing, I never expected such a wonderful group. I was very pleased with the itinerary and the magnificent places we visited in the evenings.
I spent a week with Riccardo in Greece. He was impeccable in teaching and safety management. The way he conveyed his passion for sailing gave me confidence in myself. I learned a lot and now I feel more confident
Thanks Riccardo for the incredible holidays
Great week in Carribean Sea!
