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, see below for details…
ICC – International Certificate of Competence Test (Sail)
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.

Day Sails
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.

Experience Weekends
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.

Mile Builder Trips
Mile Building Cruises are aimed at those who already have some sailing experience and would like to sail further than the Anglesey Coast. The trips are ideal for logging longer passages – the aim is to complete some RYA/MCA exam qualifying passages during each cruise. We will also try to include a night passage subject to suitable weather conditions.
Previous Experience: Competent Crew or above.
Duration: 5 days or more.
