This is the schedule we run most often. Sessions run over two or three days depending on the size and the experience of the group, from 10:00 to 18:30, with a lunch break at 14:00. The first half of the day is spent in the classroom, going through slides and powerboat regulations. After that the course continues on the boat. Some sessions may be run together with students working towards other levels.
Accommodation aboard our sailing yacht is available for the duration of the course. This course can also be combined with a sailing course — see our full offer.
