RYA Fastrak Sailing Courses

Fast-Track Your Sailing Skills and Qualifications

Whether you’re working towards a career on the water or simply want to fast-track your skills, our intensive courses provide a structured, supportive route through the RYA system. Our Fastrak programmes run throughout the year and range from six-week Day Skipper courses through to 23-week Ocean Yachtmaster programmes and, for those with specific goals, time constraints or prior experience, we also offer tailored training pathways, built around you and your unique goals.

This is immersive learning: more time at sea, more hands-on experience, and faster progression.

We keep group sizes deliberately small – just five students per programme – to ensure personal coaching, close supervision and meaningful feedback. You’ll train with experienced RYA-qualified instructors who are professional sailors themselves, combining real-world expertise with clear, structured teaching. You’ll spend more days afloat than on many comparable programmes, developing practical skippering skills in a wide range of yachts, conditions and cruising grounds. From your first day, you’ll be working towards RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore or Yachtmaster Ocean qualifications, building the competence, confidence and sea miles needed for professional or advanced private sailing.
