Our 3-day cruising course teaches the fundamentals of cruising aboard larger, more complex cruising boats.
Our Three-Day Basic Cruising course introduces you to larger boats. You will learn boat systems including diesel basics, electrical, plumbing, through-hull fittings, propane system, galley, safety equipment, roller furling and self-tailing winches. You will work on anchoring, maneuvering under power, docking, reefing, dinghy operation, crew overboard recovery, coastal navigation and more! After completing this course, you will have the skills and confidence to skipper a similar sized boat in moderate conditions in protected coastal waters.
