The Moorings – RYA Motor Cruising Course
If you’ve dreamed of being the captain of your own yachting holiday earning your cruising certifications with The Moorings is an excellent first step. Many of the world’s most stunning charter destinations now require cruising certifications, and there’s no easier way to earn it than with our RYA Motor Cruising Course, now offered from The Moorings marina in Agana, Croatia. Through hands-on instruction aboard a comfortable Moorings power catamaran you will earn either your RYA Helmsman or RYA Day Skipper certification.
The RYA certification course takes place during a 7-day charter in Agana. For five of the seven days, you’ll receive hands-on instruction from a RYA instructor. RYA courses are a fun and interesting way to combine education with a vacation of a lifetime.
Presented in association with Royal Yachting Association (RYA), courses begin at The Moorings base in Agana. You’ll depart for a 7-day yacht charter aboard a 43-ft Moorings 434 Power Catamaran, where you’ll be joined by your RYA instructor. During a 5-day course, you will practice your skills and learn from the best, showing you have what it takes to earn your license. The final two days on board can be spent soaking in the beauty of the cruising grounds, sunbathing, swimming, or relaxing.
With a limit of just 5 guests on board, you can expect quality, hands-on, and personalised instruction from your RYA instructor. There are no tests or exams required – certification is awarded based on instructor assessment.
