Day Skipper Package

The following courses will take you through the basics of undertaking a short passage from harbour to harbour in a safe manor. Please access each course and arrange the dates in the following sequence:

• RYA Competent Crew        
• RYA Day Skipper Theory        
• RYA Day Skipper Practical    

  You can schedule the following 2 courses at at a time suitable for you.

• RYA First Aid        
• RYA Marine Radio SRC (VHF)

These qualifications are the base level required for students or staff to charter the University yacht.

You will need these qualifications to apply for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) for a sailing vessel.

If you book all of these courses at the same time through our Day Skipper Package, you will save money. 

A Southampton sports member will pay £1300 booking our Day Skipper Package compared with a non-member paying £1927.50 to book the courses separately. A potential saving of £627.50!

You can cancel or reschedule a booking by contacting the Jubilee Sports Centre. Your options depend on how much notice you give us. Notice periods are based on the date of your booking, not on the start time.

We might need to cancel a booking if:

• the weather means we cannot safely run a course
• staff members are sick and their absence cannot be covered
• we cannot meet our minimum student-instructor ratio

If we need to cancel your booking, we’ll always try to give you at least 24 hours' notice. We’ll also offer to reschedule your booking.
