Perhaps it’s not a formal RYA course that you’re after, or maybe you’d prefer to have tuition aboard your own boat. Maybe you just need to build up some miles for your Yachtmaster exam. Or perhaps you are at or beyond Day Skipper level but without the certificate but require an ICC.
We would be glad to help, click below for details…
The ICC is required by many European countries for certain categories of pleasure boat. It is also useful in countries where compulsory certificates are required of nationals simply because officials expect to see such a certificate. Those holding a minimum qualification of Day Skipper Practical (Sail) or above may apply for an ICC. For those who do not, Anglesey School of Sailing offers a Boat Handling and Oral Test and on successful completion candidates may apply for an ICC.
The purpose of the practical test is to give every candidate the opportunity to show that they are capable of skippering a boat without endangering or damaging other people, boats or the marine environment. By oral and written answers candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the IRPCS (Coll Regs), SOLAS requirements, navigation, lights & sounds and pilotage.

These five hour sails are ideal for complete beginners who would like to sample sailing for a few hours to see how they enjoy it. These are also popular with people wanting to sail a different type of yacht from their usual one. Times of the day sails vary dependant upon tides. A typical day out would see us sailing along part of the Anglesey Coastline before returning to Caernarfon. Hot and cold drinks and a sandwich lunch are provided onboard during the day.
£165
These run from Friday evening through to Sunday afternoon. This is the choice for you if you would like to try a short period onboard, work on a specific area of training or work towards part of a qualification. A typical weekend will see us depart Caernarfon on Saturday morning, sail around the Anglesey coast and moor up at the end of the day in one of the local harbours or marinas. There is usually the chance to stretch your legs ashore in the evening and visit a local hostelry. Sunday will see us return to Caernarfon with sail training en-route.

We will also try to include a night passage subject to suitable weather conditions.
