RYA Day Skipper Theory & Practical
A great combination of both theory and practical courses for beginners.
This combination of theory and practical courses is aiming to train beginners in order to be able to skipper a yacht safely with confidence in familiar waters by day.
The duration of the theory course is 5 days ( 09.00 to 17.00 ) and it will be held at our Lygia classroom in Lefkada, followed by a 6 days practical course sailing around the Ionian islands.
It is the perfect way for those who want to combine training with holidays in a place like the Ionian.
During your theory course daily you will have time to explore the island of Lefkada and during your practical course you will have the chance to visit at least 6 different destinations of the Ionian.
Our classroom is fully equipped with all the necessary course materials and essential parts and equipment of a yacht where you will be able to familiariaze yourself with the safety and emergency equipment of a yacht.
