May 5th 4PM – May 10th 4PM Competent Crew/Day Skipper or Coastal Skipper Courses
Level 1 + 2
Competent Crew & Day Skipper Certification

Based in the scenic cruising grounds of the Gulf Islands, this comprehensive course covers boat handling and safe seamanship practices as well as introducing the basics of coastal navigation. After departing our base at Port Sidney you’ll spend five days on board a 34 – 38 ft sailboat, cruising and learning through some of the most spectacular waters in the world. You’ll spend each night either at anchor under the stars or secured at a cozy marina. For those students looking for a holiday of a slightly more relaxed nature a Competent Crew standard has been developed to provide a sufficient level of knowledge to assist in the safe operation of a vessel.
