RYA/MCA Day Skipper to Yachtmaster & Steward/ess courses for those starting out in Super Yachting industry
RYA Yachtmaster Qualifications, the ultimate test of a skipper, marks a huge milestone in a Skipper’s career in South Africa. Getting this certificate is difficult yet good for your career. If you are serious about a career in the marine industry, we strongly recommend going for this certificate. In this article, we will explain the prerequisites to the Yachtmaster exam.
An RYA Yachtmaster Qualification is a Certificate of Competence originally issued by the Royal Yachting Association . This certificate allows you to handle a sailing boat or a motorboat under certain conditions.
In South Africa, this is equivalent to getting a Category A Skipper’s license. However, these Yachtmaster CoCs are recognised internationally. So if you are an international adventurer, going for the RYA Yachtmaster Qualifications will bring you a lot more opportunities.
As this is an advanced exam, it is obvious that you require some experience as a skipper firsthand. In South Africa, Skippers prefer to take this course after obtaining a Day Skipper qualification.
Let’s get to know more about the three categories of the RYA Yachtmaster Qualifications in South Africa.
Coastal Yachtmaster Qualification — officially known as Yachtmaster Coastal since January 2010 — allows a yacht skipper to drive their vessel up to 60nm in the sea. However, a coastal Yachtmaster may not take passages deeper than that.
Before enrolling for the practical exam, make sure you meet the prerequisites.
The examination period is about 6-10 hours for 1 candidate or 8-14 hours for 2. It will cover the assessment of the candidate’s skippering skills, general seamanship, navigation, safety awareness and knowledge, boat handling etc. Candidates may also face questions regarding the syllabus during the exam.
The Yachtmaster Offshore expands your limit of plotting a voyage into the sea. This qualification will allow you to drive or sail up to 150nm into the sea from the harbour.
The prerequisites are similar to the previous course, however, the following things differ:
The examination duration is of 8-12 hours (1 candidate) or 10-18 hours (2 candidates). The syllabus and practical will involve everything from the prior course. Additionally, they may also include questions regarding safety awareness and knowledge of the ship’s construction, ballasting , radio, radar, collision regulations etc. Candidates will have to complete the set tasks in exams, answer oral questions from time to time to successfully complete the exam.
The ultimate freedom of sailing your yacht all over the world comes at the cost of passing this difficult exam. This exam is a particularly tough and demanding test of a skipper’s abilities. And of course, due to the nature of this exam, the prerequisites are also harsh.
The examination, unlike previous COCs, is written and oral only. This will test a candidate’s knowledge of the making of an ocean passage, navigation, crew management, yacht safety and preparations, maintenance and repairs, and world meteorology.
Generally speaking, for the commercial endorsements, you require an ENG1 or ML5 medical fitness certificate. You will also require the RYA Basic Sea Survival Course or the STCW Personal Survival Techniques; and the RYA Professional Practices and Responsibilities Course. Sail and Power SA provides a complete STCW package , however, for Offshore and Ocean Yachtmaster, there are further endorsement options. Kindly contact us if you are looking for a commercial endorsement or STCW endorsement on your Yachtmaster qualifications.
RYA Yachtmaster Qualifications are considered formidable in South Africa and globally. They will boost your resume and career.
Sail and Power provide the Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore courses. In these online or physical classrooms, we cover all the important topics in theory that will prepare you for the practical examinations up ahead. For more information, please visit our Yachtmaster page .
The prices of these courses vary and are subject to change. Please contact us for further information and we will be happy to assist you.

When most people are asked to picture an engineer at work, they probably imagine a civil engineer in a hard hat at a construction site, a chemical engineer in a laboratory or an electrical engineer examining a complex circuit board. Very few, I’m willing to bet, visualise someone aboard a ship.
But, for those drawn both to engineering and a seafaring life, marine engineering and nautical science are ideal careers – especially in a country like South Africa, uniquely positioned where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge.
Over 90% of the world’s goods are transported by sea . That means both marine engineers and nautical scientists are crucial to global trade, transportation and resource management. These professionals play a critical role in ensuring that vessels operate reliably, comply with environmental regulations and navigate safely through the world’s oceans.
South Africa’s Department of Higher Education does not distinguish between different types of engineering when collecting statistics about graduates. However, those of us in the marine engineering and nautical science space in academia can confirm the numbers are low. At my own institution, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in Cape Town, between ten and 20 people graduate each year from these programmes. At another, Nelson Mandela University in the Eastern Cape province, around seven people graduate in these fields each year. With so few people studying these disciplines, the skills they impart are in high demand. The government’s list of scarce skills for 2024 includes “marine engineering technologist”.
I’m an engineering lecturer in the Department of Maritime Studies at CPUT. There, I teach in both the Bachelor of Nautical Science and Marine Engineering programmes, lecturing on a variety of subjects, including mathematics and applied thermodynamics (the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, energy and work).
Watching my students complete their degrees and start careers in marine engineering or nautical science has made it clear that this work offers a blend of adventure, technical challenge, and the opportunity to contribute to an industry that is essential to global commerce and environmental stewardship.
Whether it’s designing cutting-edge marine technology or navigating the world’s vast oceans, the maritime field promises a fulfilling professional journey.
Three universities – CPUT, Nelson Mandela University and the Durban University of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal – offer maritime studies courses aimed at those who intend to work at sea. A fourth, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, offers this degree with a focus on maritime law and logistics. There are also some specialised training institutions, among them the South African Maritime Safety Authority , that provide various qualifications and certifications.
You’ll need to have taken mathematics, physical science and English in your school-leaving matric year, and to have passed them well. (Contact individual universities to find out their precise degree requirements.) A strong interest in and commitment to a career at sea or in the maritime industry more broadly is crucial.
Being a strong swimmer can be an advantage. But it is not necessarily a requirement. Students who do not know how to swim will typically have the opportunity to learn and develop their swimming skills as part of their training.
There are practical and theoretical components to these degrees. At our Granger Bay campus near the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, for instance, we’ve set up a survival centre – a practical facility where students receive training to equip them for life at sea. It is fully equipped with three fully enclosed lifeboats, two open lifeboats, a rigid capsule, two fast rescue craft, a heated 12 x 7 metre pool, an underwater escape training dunker, various life rafts, life jackets, immersion suits, and more.

On the theoretical side, a Bachelor of Nautical Science programme focuses on the navigation and operation of ships. It encompasses navigation techniques, ship stability, cargo handling, meteorology, and maritime laws. This prepares students for careers as navigators in the merchant navy. (Not to be confused with the military navy – a merchant navy is a country’s commercial shipping industry, which includes all the cargo and passenger ships that are registered under that nation and used for trade, transport and other non-military purposes.)
Some of our graduates have gone on to become ship’s masters , also called captains – the highest ranking officer on any ship.
Marine engineering programmes, meanwhile, focus on the design, development, operation and maintenance of the mechanical systems and equipment used on ships and other marine vessels. This includes everything from engines and propulsion systems to refrigeration and steering mechanisms. Marine engineers ensure that these systems function efficiently and safely. They often work closely with naval architects to integrate these technologies into new ship designs or retrofit them into existing vessels.
Oceanic African countries, like South Africa, need people with these skills to harness the full potential of their maritime resources.

The development of local expertise in maritime engineering and nautical science is essential for ensuring safe and efficient maritime operations. It also helps to protect marine environments and contributes to global maritime trade. Skilled professionals in these fields help these countries take advantage of their maritime assets, promote economic growth and enhance their roles in international commerce.
As a proud lecturer, I am thrilled to see my students progress and develop both internationally and locally. Many have gone on to work in various exciting and prestigious roles around the world. Some have become ship’s masters, navigating and managing large vessels on international waters, while others have taken on critical roles in maritime operations, port management and logistics in countries such as Singapore, Norway and the United Kingdom. Some have pursued careers in maritime law and policy. Their career paths reflect the diverse and global opportunities available in the maritime industry.
The 3 Week RYA Day Skipper package equips you with the skills and qualifications needed to safely and effectively skipper a sailing vessel by day.
Upon successful completion of this package, you will receive a RYA Day Skipper Certificate which is valid on a yacht up to 24m in length, during daylight hours, in good weather, in Category 5 waters up to 20nm (nautical miles) from a home port.
Your RYA Day Skipper certificate is registered with the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) in the UK and accepted internationally except in South Africa on a SOUTH AFRICAN flagged vessel.
You will require the SAS (South African Sailing) qualification to sail in South African waters on a South African flagged vessel. This will be incorporated into your RYA program by special request.
Pre-course requirements: None
Venue : Students are required to meet their instructor at our classroom at Royal Cape Yacht Club, Cape Town.

It is an international requirement to complete all STCW courses and a ENG1 Medical Examination to enable you to work on commercial vessels in any maritime industry.
Commercial RYA qualifications are the preferred qualification requirements and are recognized around the world. However, the South African Maritime Authority (SAMSA) doesn’t recognize the RYA qualifications if they are obtained in South Africa.
It is therefore imperative that to captain a ship in SA waters that you obtain your SAS qualifications.
We can arrange for you to take SAS examinations. We also offer coaching for the SAS theory modules. If you wish to do commercial work in South Africa, then you will have to do a SAMSA Under 25-ton Commercial License Examination. We can assist you in obtaining the certificate.
