Also included in the course is a free ICC assessment, this is the license required to skipper a motor cruiser up to 24 metres in European waters.

SUMMARY

The RYA Day Skipper Motor is designed to give students the knowledge and skills to skipper a motor boat in familiar waters by day time. Your four days onboard will be under the expert guidance of an RYA MCA qualified instructor. They will give you the space and knowledge to practice your new found skills whilst onboard with us.

Typically, student to instructor ratio’s for RYA Motor cruising courses is 5:1. Our RYA Day Skipper Motor Cruising courses run at a student to instructor ratio of only 4:1, meaning all students get more space on the boat, more time on the helm and more instructor support.

On completion of this course you can apply for your International Certificate of Competence (ICC) Power up to 24 metres. This certificate is needed if you are going to European waters or looking to hire a motor boat abroad. Ocean Sports Tuition always includes the ICC assessment with every Day Skipper Motor Course.
