Coastal Certificate of Competence examination is the
next natural step for those who have completed the
RYA Coastal Skipper Practical Course and have
completed some coastal sailing since in order to put
the lessons learnt into practice. 5 days intensive,
advanced level repetition to sharpen up your skills
before taking your RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Coastal Exam.
Since you’re already a competent and experienced

practice pilotage, night navigation, close quarters
manoeuvring under power as well as under sail and
any other areas that might need brushing up.
