Assessment

The ICC is required by most European countries (excluding the UK) as evidence of basic competence.

It is an essential piece of paper if you are looking to sail overseas with your own boat or if you are considering chartering abroad.

We run 2 day weekend & midweek courses that cover an element of instruction in conjunction with the ICC assessment itself.

£350 pp or £245 pp if you are happy to share an accommodation space.(See below to find out what we include in our course fees)

ICC - International Certificate of Competence

During the course you will practice and cover all aspects of the ICC syllabus however there is a limit in what we can achieve in 2 days and so you should be experienced in basic boat & sail handling with an understanding of navigation before embarking on the course.

Please Note: Holders of an RYA Practical Course Completion Certificate of Day Skipper or above can apply for the ICC directly to the RYA without any further tests.

Please allow 21 days for issue of certificate. A fast track service is available for an additional fee.

Our principal training yachts are a Dufour 385, a Beneteau Oceanis 37 and a Dufour 365.

These are some of the most popular modern production yachts on the market today and offer excellent handling and sailing performance.

Fully equipped to the required RYA/MCA standards they also boast some additional inventory to add to your enjoyment & comfort onboard.

Our Yachts

We can run ICC courses up to a maximum of 6 persons.

For most people the concept of sharing a relatively confined accommodation space is not agreeable and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the course and in our view this is less than ideal unless you know the person you are sharing with.

Therefore all our courses are based on providing students with their own sleeping space* and as such are priced accordingly. If you are happy to share a cabin 

*The saloon is classed as a sleeping area. Exact sleeping arrangements are worked out with the instructor at the start of your course depending on the mix of crew.
