RYA Courses

RYA qualifications are known and respected the world over and our range of courses has something for all ages, abilities and goals. What’s more, learning to sail in the sheltered waters around Swanpool is a joy, though power-craft are always on the water should you need assistance. We also offer powerboat courses that take place in Falmouth harbour.

We can offer our clients recognised  Royal Yachting Association  qualifications in the following:

Start Sailing Level 1 Duration: 2 Days This course provides a short introduction to sailing for novices. By the end of the course you will have a basic understanding of boat handling techniques and background sailing knowledge. You will learn how to sail in all directions and will gain an awareness of how to launch and recover your vessel. You can expect to be able to sail in light winds under supervision by the end of your two days.

Basic Skills Sailing Level 2 Duration: 2 Days

The Level 2 course is designed for people who have completed Level 1 course, or who have a basic level of sailing knowledge and experience. On completion you will be able to sail safely and confidently on all points of sail in light winds without an instructor on board. Many people choose to combine this with their Level 1 course over a period of 5 days.

Better Sailing Level 3 Duration: 2 Days

This course is designed for more confident sailors who are sailing at a Level 2 standard. The aim is to consolidate existing skills and try new ones in more testing conditions, and prepare sailors for the advanced modules of the national sailing scheme. The course will include taster sessions from the five advanced modules: seamanship skills, sailing with spinnakers, day sailing, start racing and performance sailing.

Pricing per person

3:1 - £180 

2:1 - £235

1:1 - £420

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RYA Youth Scheme

We also run the RYA Youth scheme, which is designed for sailors who are under 16 years of age. It breaks down the adult programme into easily manageable stages, with the emphasis on fun in a supportive, friendly environment. Each stage is two days in duration. However, because of the bite-sized nature of the youth scheme, we tend to assess learners’ progress throughout the first day and then teach to their potential on the second day. This means students often achieve more than they expected!

Stage 1 Duration: 2 days This is our introduction course for children. Students will gain a basic understanding of how a boat works and will acquire some experience of steering and handling the boat. They will also help launch and recover their boat and begin to learn some basic sailing terminology.

Stage 2 Duration: 2 days Continuing from Stage 1, pupils studying Stage 2 will work on a range of sailing skills to help them become a confident small-boat sailor. By the end of the course, students will be able to sail around a triangular course.

Stage 3 Duration: 2 days Having completed Stage 3 you will be able to sail in any direction, and will be able to rig and launch your boat. These skills mean you can regard yourself as a sailor, not a beginner.

Stage 4 Duration: 2 days A Stage 4 certificate means that you have the skills to sail a double-handed boat as a crew or helm, and solve a variety of problems afloat. Passing this course is the natural entry point for the advanced courses on the national sailing scheme.

5 Half days (GROUP) £190pp + RYA Logbook £6 

2 Full days (GROUP) £180pp+ RYA Logbook £6

2 Full days (2:1) £235pp +  RYA Logbook £6

RYA Powerboat level 1 Duration: 1 day The RYA Powerboat Level 1 course is a one-day introduction to powerboating (minimum age 8). This is the perfect course for both adults and children wanting to learn the basics of everyday boat handling. Candidates will cover: launching & recovery (8-11 year olds will observe), preparation of the boat and crew, boat safety, boat handling, picking up & securing to a mooring buoy, leaving & coming alongside, being towed and theory.

RYA Powerboat level 2 Duration: 2 day The  RYA Powerboat Level 2 training  course is run over two days and is the place to start a hobby or career on the water. Our state-of-the-art Zodiac RIB is the perfect craft in which to teach you how to make a tidal sea passage during daylight hours.

RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling

RYA powerboat courses are primarily for those using small powered craft such as RIBs, dories and sportsboats that don't generally undertake long or offshore passages.

The types of commercial craft requiring this level certification are typically: charter fishing boats, small passenger launches, thrill ride operators, harbour patrol launches, construction site safety boats etc.

If you will be using larger boats with accommodation and the capacity to cruise or work further offshore you are likely to need a certificate within the motor cruising programme such as Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore.

If you need a Level 2 Powerboat Handling certificate in order to work on a commercial craft subject to the MCA's codes of practice, you will need to get it commercially endorsed . You can then work on commercial vessels up to 24m in length, operating in category 6 waters - that is up to 3 miles from a nominated departure point in fine weather and daylight hours.
