The next course:
If you are already a Coastal Skipper your next course of action is to put your coastal skippering skills into practice on a longer trip. We run regular 12 day passage trips adventuring further afield along the Spanish and Portuguese Atlantic coastline. Then you may wish to consider the Yachtmaster Coastal or a skills week with Allabroad to focus on close quarter handling and the trickier elements of skippering yachts.
VHF SRC Radio Course is an essential addition to the Coastal Skipper course since all charter and flotilla companies require one person to hold a valid radio license. This is easily added to your Allabroad course package as an online study course prior to you arriving and a short assessment session whilst on your course.
