This RYA Competent Crew practical course has been designed to take complete beginners to a level at which you can enjoy and be confident as crew on a cruising yacht. It’s the perfect introduction to yachting with informative instruction to enable you to become a competent crew member.
During the day you will learn the ropes and enjoy a hands on yachting experience in the superb cruising area in and around the Bay of Gibraltar. As part of your course your Instructor will devise an itinerary with 3-4 overnights, beyond Gibraltar, in ports along the Spanish and Moroccan coast’s (subject to variables including favourable wind directions).
Gibraltar – the perfect place to learn to sail
Maybe we’re biased, but arguably Gibraltar offers the best mix of climate and location for learning to sail:
- Pleasant year round climate
- Cruising ground: Gibraltar, Spain, Morocco
- Experience busy shipping lanes, quiet bays, marina life
- Chance to sail the world-renowned Gibraltar Straits
- Tidal miles count towards future RYA exams
- Excellent marinas for apres-sail drinks and dinner
- Easy access: Gibraltar & Malaga Airports
We hope to see you soon!
