Mile Builders are practical, hands-on programmes that allow students to accumulate real sea miles and passages, supplementing previous skipper training (RYA or otherwise), providing structured sea time and skill development.
You’ll gain practical, hands-on experience in Greek waters, preparing you for future charters and boat rentals. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the thrill of real-world passages, anchoring in secluded bays, and handling boats in a variety of conditions. This is training with a sense of adventure, making every mile exciting and memorable.
Our mile builders are available for all three of our teaching disciplines:
Sailing
Powerboats (<10m)
Motor cruisers (<24m)
Who is this programme for?
This programme is designed to bridge the gap between completing initial skipper training and stepping into independent skippering. It allows participants to consolidate existing skills, gain practical experience, and prepare for advanced qualifications or confident solo voyages.
It is intended for participants who have already completed core RYA courses or hold equivalent certifications/experience in their chosen discipline (sailing, powerboats, or motor cruising).
To fully benefit from the programme, participants should meet the following prerequisites:
Participants with basic skippering skills who wish to become more independent or practice more before their RYA Coastal Skipper Sail course.
Hands-on training in short coastal passages, berthing, manoeuvres inside the marina and coming alongside
Participants with basic skippering skills who wish to become more independent or practice more before their RYA Coastal Skipper Motor course
