Quick Details
The aim of this course is to provide you with the skills and knowledge required to safely navigate a boat by day and by night in coastal waters with which you are familiar. It is intended as preparation for:
Previous experience/knowledge required — participants should have completed either:
Coastal navigation for small boats must consist of a minimum of eight hours of contact time. However, the length of the course may be extended where it suits or is necessary for participants to take a more relaxed approach to the program.
