Brighton Boating’s Yacht Sailing programmes are designed for sailors looking to progress through the RYA cruising scheme and gain recognised qualifications on larger keelboats and yachts. Our training provides a structured step beyond dinghy sailing, focusing on the practical and theoretical skills required for safe, confident coastal yacht sailing.

Led by experienced RYA instructors, sessions cover core elements of the RYA syllabus including advanced boat handling under sail and power, crew management, navigation, passage planning, sail trim, collision regulations and onboard safety. Training is delivered in real coastal conditions from Brighton Marina, helping students build genuine competence and decision-making skills at sea.

Whether you are working towards RYA Day Skipper, preparing for Coastal Skipper, or gaining experience to support chartering and private yacht ownership, our yacht sailing courses offer a clear, practical pathway to recognised RYA qualifications and independent sailing confidence.

“I just completed part 2 of the Competent Crew course. I really enjoyed both parts and feel excited to get going on the next course.
Carolyn was great as the instructor, providing the knowledge, practical examples and support throughout the course… Also on hand to provide a supportive nudge, to challenge yourself, where necessary. This was much appreciated, thank you!”
