RYA Training & Tuition

BoatShop Menorca can arrange courses and tuition for everyone, in association with the approved RYA Training Centres.  From the complete novice, first-time boater to full preparation for the elite RYA Yachtmaster qualification.  Menorca is the ideal location for your training, no tides to deal with, a safe boating region and plenty of great boating weather.  Courses are conducted all year round.
 

Why not combine your training with a yacht charter holiday?

You will have the instructor onboard for the first few days, then once you have reached the required level, you are free to go it alone and enjoy the rest of the charter holiday as a newly decorated captain.
 

Wishing to buy your first boat?

Good training and tuition is a must and we offer training on either your own, newly purchased boat or simply hire one of our boats to complete your chosen course.
 

Just upgraded to a larger boat?

No problem, we can offer either another full training course or take a higher level qualification or simply provide an instructor to get you used to your new boat and its particular driving characteristics for as long as is necessary until you are truly comfortable.
