As Scotland’s Motor Cruising School we offer a huge variety of courses from the “Day Skipper” to the popular “Coastal Skipper“, right up to the “Yachtmaster Offshore“. You can join a group, or we can tailor make a course to suit your needs.
So, you want to learn the ropes?
You quite fancy a skipper course, with a group of like-minded people… Meet new friends whilst you let us guide you around some remote and scenic pieces of our Scottish waters.
Weekly prices include 5-days training with a qualified RYA (Royal Yachting Association) instructor, theory navigation courses run from the new Harbour building in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, or from Oban Marina.
Where better than Scotland?
You like the ruggedness of the West coast of Britain; the idea of visiting some of the harder to get to islands — small communities, peaceful locations, Hebridean culture, more wildlife than people.
What would you look for in a Skipper Course?
- Experienced instructors?
- Personal attention?
- Comfortable vessel?
Have you thought about a course with Hebridean Sea School?
Aside from the fact that we are based in the most beautiful part of the UK, you have the security that our Chief Instructor is the Second Coxswain of Tobermory Lifeboat! It is also important to us (and we hope to you) that personal attention has always been at the fore-front of our courses, working closely together with other institutions to maintain our high standards.
You can join the RYA scheme at any level, for more information on the RYA cruising scheme visit their website. You can find out about Day Skipper Theory & Day Skipper Practical , Yachtmaster Coastal and Yachtmaster Offshore.
Where is the accommodation and what is it like?
We use both bed & breakfast and hotels of a high standard. You can choose (subject to availability) from Glengorm Castle with its spectacular views to the Tobermory Hotel based in the heart of Tobermory. There is also a large selection of quality B&B’s that we can recommend in the village.
