Spend the last years watching those Youtube Sailing Channels of happy people enjoying life? Now its your time but you don’t feel enough confident to slip your mooring lines. You are not that quick doing a bowline or a clove hitch. How and when reef sails. How to negotiate a harbour entrance or just making a pilotage plan to enter a busy harbour?!
With Living aboard Skipper combo you will get your Bareboat skipper, VHF and Powerboat certifications.
You will be living onboard for the entire course (18 days) and we will make a short passage to visit another harbour.
