RYA Competent Crew Low Ratio Sailing Course
The RYA allows a maximum of 5 students on the Competent Crew Practical Course, with the course based totally on board the yacht, this can usually mean sharing a cabin with a stranger. At Solent Boat Training we run a lower student to yacht ratio course, so offer you your own bed for the 4 nights of onboard.
Why not book the whole yacht for a private course for up to 4 students from just £1596 at low season.
Bavaria 37 Competent Crew Cruising Yacht
Our trio of Bavaria 37ft cruising yachts have 3 double cabins and 2 single berths in the saloon. Their large galley and bathroom ensure your time on board is enjoyable at every point as we travel around the Solent.
Our RYA competent crew practical course runs from our Shamrock Quay marina base in Southampton. Every course is different, but you will enjoy nights on board at a number of the following marinas: Ocean Village Marina, Port Hamble Marina, East Cowes Marina, Haslar Marina and Lymington Yacht Haven Marina. Each of these marinas have excellent facilities such as bars, bistros, laundry, shops and showers that compliment the yachts own facilities.
