If your goal is to eventually rent your own boat (aka bareboat), we highly recommend working toward your SLC — International Sailing License & Certificate. It’s recognized worldwide and allows you to legally sail just about anywhere.

⛵️ How to Study & Get Promoted

New Sailors

• Start with the Beginner Study Guide videos and then take your BEGINNERS QUIZ before your first sail. Give it a shot—retake the quiz until you ace it, and get ready for your best first lesson ever! ⛵️

​

3rd Mate Promotion/Intermediate Sailor

• Take all testing required for your 3rd Mate Promotion after your 5th sail.

• Continue to review study materials under Intermediate Study Guide and retake test after 3 more sails and repeat until you score a 90% or better.

• Read Sailing For Dummies and RYA Day Skipper books for extra reference.
