The IYT Day Skipper / Crew Sail course is designed for those looking to gain the skills necessary to safely crew or skipper a yacht in coastal waters. Whether you’re an aspiring crew member or want to take on the responsibility of being a day skipper, this course offers comprehensive training in vessel handling, navigation, safety, and basic seamanship.

Through a combination of theory and practical hands-on sailing experience, students will learn how to plan and execute short passages, operate sailboats efficiently, and ensure the safety of the vessel and its crew. No prior experience is necessary for the crew certification, while those aiming for skipper certification should have some basic sailing knowledge.

For those looking for an immersive learning experience, we also offer a liveaboard option, allowing students to live on the yacht during the course. This provides valuable real-world experience in boat life, enhancing your ability to handle vessels confidently.
