This is a five-day advanced skippering course for those who have knowledge of sailing and navigation, wanting to undertake coastal passages by day and night. Each trainee will skipper more challenging passages and learn more about passage planning, pilotage by day and night, boat handling, safety and emergency situations. The course can be taken in tidal or non-tidal waters and your certificate will be endorsed accordingly.
