Fast Track Your Sailing Skills with Canary Sail’s Day Skipper Two Week Special

If you’re looking to gain real sailing experience and a recognised RYA qualification in a short space of time, the Day Skipper Two Week Special with Canary Sail is a fantastic choice. Designed to combine the RYA Competent Crew and RYA Day Skipper Practical courses into one extended and immersive learning experience, this two-week adventure gives you everything you need to become a confident, capable skipper—while enjoying the spectacular sailing conditions of the Canary Islands.

Why Choose the Two Week Special?

This course is perfect for those who want to make the most of their time and accelerate their progress without compromising on quality. Instead of completing Competent Crew and Day Skipper on separate trips, the Two Week Special brings it all together in one seamless experience.

Unlike many other courses, you don’t need to arrive with an RYA Day Skipper theory certificate in hand. Instead, you’re expected to study the theory before arrival (resources can be recommended or supplied by Canary Sail), which means the practical training can focus entirely on hands-on learning.

What You’ll Learn

Week 1 – RYA Competent Crew
Start with the basics of sailing, including:

• Safety at sea and on board

• Ropework and sail handling

• Steering, helming, and working as part of a crew

• Learning life on board, including watch systems and teamwork

Week 2 – RYA Day Skipper Practical
Build on your skills and move into the role of skipper, learning to:

• Plan and lead short coastal passages

• Navigate using charts, GPS, and tidal information

• Command the yacht under power and sail

• Conduct manoeuvres like mooring, anchoring, and man overboard recovery

By the end of the course, you’ll be qualified to skipper a yacht in familiar waters during daylight hours, giving you the confidence and certification to take your sailing to the next level.

The Canary Sail Advantage

Sailing in the Canary Islands offers the perfect training environment—with reliable trade winds, mild weather, and diverse sailing conditions. You’ll get to experience a mix of marina berths, anchoring spots, and night sailing, giving you real-world experience that builds confidence quickly.

Plus, Canary Sail ensures small training groups and experienced RYA instructors, with the added comfort of your own cabin for the duration of the course.

Who Is This Course For?

• New sailors who want to jump straight into practical training

• Those with informal experience looking to formalise their skills

• Anyone short on time but eager to gain recognised qualifications

• Adventurers wanting a rewarding sailing holiday with structure and purpose
