BECOME A RYA YACHTMASTER

To become an RYA Yachtmaster, you must prove extensive experience and skill through an exam, requiring prerequisites like a valid First Aid and VHF Radio certificate, plus significant sea time (miles, days, skipper experience, night hours) depending on whether you aim for Coastal, Offshore, or Ocean, often built up through RYA courses like Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory, leading to a practical assessment where you demonstrate high-level navigation, seamanship, and crew management.
