Vancouver Marine Courses - Builds Sailing Mastery

The courses offered by Vancouver Marine Courses are relevant and practical. We have been giving them, quite successfully (considering the very high rate of success at all the official tests, and the comments from the students), at most of the sailing schools and marine organisations in Vancouver, such as QuickNAV, Cooper, Land’s End, Deep Cove Yacht Club, the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, North Shore Yacht Club, Bluewater Cruising Association, and various private groups.

Both the schools and the students themselves have always expressed a very high level of satisfaction for these courses, and appreciation of the professionalism displayed.

Courses offered: Chose among courses which will give you compulsory certification, such as the Marine Radio classes. Others, such as the Coastal Navigation classes, will lead you to perhaps the most important CYA certificate.The Marine Weather classes are vital to Coastal and Offshore Skippers; and no mariner should venture offshore without a sextant, and the solid training offered in the Celestial Navigation classes, sanctionned by the CYA certificate.

Teaching philosophy: The courses are thorough, and conducted very conscientiously. They are oriented towards the prudent sailor who wants to understand a process rather than simply pass a test. The very broad background and considerable experience of the instructor enables him to relate the topic to real life situations, and to give examples of actual cases.
