This 5-day RYA course is perfect for those working towards their RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper qualification, as well as those who simply want to improve their sailing skills and gain more hands-on experience.

The course takes place on Scotland’s stunning west coast and is led by our Yachtmaster Instructor Sally, a highly experienced instructor known for her calm and encouraging approach. You will practice key skills like boat handling, mooring, sail trimming, anchoring and passage planning, all in a friendly, no-pressure environment. Expect plenty of hands-on experience and an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. Whether you are new to sailing or looking to refine your skills, this course offers a fantastic mix of learning, teamwork, and fun on the water.

This course starts on Sunday, 7th September 2025 at 18:30 and finishes on Friday around noon in Largs. The price is £649 and includes:

5 nights on board;
All on board meals and snacks;

    I have been sailing with Go West regularly for two years now and I have done Competent Crew, Day Skipper Theory and Day Skipper Practical with them. I have also done 3 experience builders, their specialist pontoon and close quarters manoeuvres weekend and most recently a 7 day adventure sail from Largs to Oban. Next up is the VHF course. I have now sailed on 6 of their boats and with 6 of their instructors. Go West is a very well run business, with a considerable number of repeat customers. Their boats are all very well maintained and equipped and their instructors are patient, knowledgeable and polite. However, above all they are all passionate committed lifelong sailors who are keen to pass on their enthusiasm to their customers. I will definitely sail with them again.

    I had an incredible week sailing along Scotland’s west coast from Largs in May 2025. We explored some stunning Scottish islands with our fantastic skipper, Danny, who made the whole trip even better. The yacht was modern, really comfortable, and a joy to sail. It was an unforgettable experience - great training, a real sense of adventure, and so much fun. I’d highly recommend it to anyone!

    In May, we sailed with Go West Sailing under Captain Danny — and what an incredible journey it was. From start to finish, the trip was absolutely amazing. Captain Danny knows his craft inside out; he had complete command of the route, navigated safely through everything, and always made us feel secure. Beyond being a professional, he was truly the heart and soul of our group. Highly recommend Go West Sailing and Captain Danny to anyone looking for a memorable, safe, and joyful sailing experience.
