After completing our CREW course, this second course prepares you to take charge of the boat in appropriate conditions. This course adds depth to some of the topics introduced earlier and continues your knowledge with more terminology and experience to build confidence skippering the boat in moderate conditions.
Get back onto the same boats you sailed on the CREW course.
This course is relevant to people seeking to own or charter boats up to approximately 27′ with tiller steering and an outboard motor. At the end of this program, you can be tested for national or international certifications and commence a journey as skipper for small boats in moderate conditions.
