ISA CRUISING


Course Details ¦ Course Dates ¦ Booking Form

  • ISA Competent Crew Certificate: The aim of the ISA Competent Crew course is to provide an introduction to the world of sail cruising in a positive and structured manner. The course is as much about getting to grips with living aboard a cruising boat as it is about learning to sail. By the end of the course the sailors should be able to take their place as a competent, safe member of crew aboard a sailing yacht.

  • ISA Day Skipper Certificate: The aim of the ISA Day Skipper (Sail) course is to provide participants with the basic skills and knowledge necessary to skipper a sailing yacht by day in waters with which you are familiar. As part of the course, other marinas and harbours will be visited. 

  • Other levels of the Yachtmaster Scheme may be catered for. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we'll do our best to facilitate you.

  • International Certificate of Competency Assessment (Sail or Power) By the end of half day assessment the successful participant will be capable of helming without supervision in good conditions and familiar waters.

  • Irish Marine VHF (shorebased). Irish Short Range Certificate (SRC) required by persons wishing to use a VHF radio on Irish waters. Information from ISA...

  • Code Européen des Voies de la Navigation Interieure (CEVNI): The ICC specifies the type of water the certificate may be used on as either inland or coastal. Coastal certificates will be issued to candidates who have demonstrated an appropriate knowledge of the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (IRPCS). Inland certificates will be issued to candidates who have demonstrated an appropriate knowledge of the Code Européen des Voies de la Navigation Interieure (CEVNI). Candidates able to demonstrate an appropriate knowledge in both the IRPCS and CEVNI may be issued with a certificate valid for both inland and coastal waters. CEVNI manuals can be purchased from your local chandlery, or the ISA directly on 01-2800239.

  • Consultancy With over 10 years experience in the water sports industry working in Ireland, France and Italy we have a vast range of experience to draw on. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

  • First Aid: The aim of this course is to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to provide emergency care in the marine environment and on inland waterways where professional medical assistance should be available within 30 minutes.
