RYA Sea Survival course

 

If you were struck by disaster at sea and you had to abandon your vessel, would you know how to save the lives of your crew and yourself ? The RYA Sea Survival training course helps you to prepare for the worst case scenario; that of having to abandon your yacht at sea.

Next to this being a ‘life-saving’ course, which is highly recommended to any crew member, it also fulfils the requirements for anyone seeking a Commercial Endorsement for their RYA Yachtmaster certificate.
