I had high expectations from Skipper Online, but I’m really disappointed. The item came late and looked used. I tried contacting customer service, but no response. I hope they improve their service in the future.

Excellent learning :) Thank you!!

The learning material is very thorough and interesting if, like me, you are a complete novice. The instructors are there for support should you need it and offer very inciteful feedback helping you along the way. The quiz and quick tests are useful. I would recommend purchasing the day skipper theory notes book.
Excellent and Thorough Yachtmaster Theory Course
I had a great experience studying for my Yachtmaster Theory with Skippers Online. The course is thorough and clearly explained, and whenever I needed help, the instructors responded quickly and provided clear guidance. I highly recommend this course!
Day Skipper
A great way to learn the theory at my own pace.
The course was both educational and enjoyable, this was followed by on board tuition with Sail the Canaries (who were also fantastic) I’m now a Day Skipper!
A very well put together course
A very well put together course. All materials available either online or mailed direct to my house.
Very easy to follow tuition with step by step guidance where required.
Informative, supportive and rewarding
I was able to study this course in my own time with the support from the instructors when needed and the resources available with the course. I was given excellent and clear feedback in both exams.
Top rate training!
The day skipper theory course was very well designed and I was thoroughly impressed with how the lessons and exercises built on top of each other, culminating in a knowledge set that feels well rooted.
I suggest getting the student tool kit with the package if this is your first crack at it. The plotting tools are great quality and I'm very relieved I opted in.
The support I received was incredibly prompt and professional and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks!

Enjoyable Skipper training
The online skipper training was an excellent experience. The course was well-structured, and the theory sessions were both engaging and informative, thanks to a teacher who combined humor with precision — a great way to make complex topics easy to remember. Whenever I had questions or didn’t fully understand something, the team was always patient and ready to help. I can wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone looking to learn in a professional yet enjoyable environment.
