Our courses can help you take to the water with confidence

Anyone hoping to work on a yacht or any type of sailboat will require appropriate training and qualification. After all, sailing isn’t just a matter of soaking up the sun and feeling the wind in your hair; it’s a serious, hands-on business, which requires practical knowledge and experience.

The Royal Yachting Association of Great Britain (RYA) offers a wide range of qualifications which are internationally recognised for sail, power and personal watercraft. Most of the qualifications offered by the RYA can be commercially endorsed for those working in the maritime sector.

RYA sailing courses to assist your learning

The Mallorca Sailing Academy offers a range of RYA courses, designed to be both fun and educational. Whether you dream of becoming the captain of a charter, or simply want to assist a skipper in taking your friends and family out on the waves, an RYA training course from the Mallorca Sailing Academy will offer the solution.

You’ll build up your sail miles – a requirement for some of the more advanced RYA courses – and learn invaluable skills under the guidance of an experienced instructor, including sailing etiquette, helmsmanship, handling of sails and ropes, proper sailing terms, sailing safety, and meteorology.

Each RYA course offered by the Mallorca Sailing Academy will expand on what you’ve learned previously, giving beginners a solid foundation of knowledge and experience which they can then build on with further courses. Our RYA courses are unique in that one of our key focuses is the building of bonds between the crew, fostering an amiable, enjoyable work experience while providing a real sense of what life on a sailing boat is like.
