We hope you never need to use the skills gained on this course, but strongly believe that if the worst ever happens and your and your crew’s lives depended on it, this training will prove invaluable and will help to preserve life.

If you had to abandon your vessel, would you know what to do? The RYA Sea Survival training course assumes the worst-case scenario, that you have to abandon your yacht or ship, and prepares you for it.

This day of training covers essential practical sea survival skills and is a requirement for anyone seeking their RYA Commercial Endorsement
