The complete Fast Track fee is £5,950.00pp
Unlike other sailing schools, our price is fully inclusive of food, all RYA fees, examinations, certificates, mooring fees, diesel and waterproofs (good quality foul weather gear), making Four Points West the best value around.
*Extras included:
Weekend Shakedown sail – this is a weekend, to be arranged for during the summer, so the crew can meet each other, the instructors, and get to know the boat and help to plan the Fast track course and route.
RYA Powerboat Level 2 – a short course introducing you to powerboats. It gives the confidence and skills to skipper a planing craft in a variety of conditions and situations.
RYA Radar, although not required by the RYA/DoT for Certificates of Competence, will be given while on passage, at no extra charge.
**Optional Extras
RYA Yachtmaster Ocean Theory
This can be arranged for you upon arrival back at Maryport. As with the previous theory courses this will be an intensive 5 day course. Though we'll arrange accommodation at a local B&B to give you a break from the yacht!
Price: £250.00pp fully inclusive of bed & breakfast accommodation, course fees & materials and examination fee.
RYA Yachtmaster Ocean Qualifying Passage
As mentioned above, this can be included in the 14 week course, only if all candidates on board wish to complete it. Should the opportunity not arise for you to complete the passage, we can take you out from Maryport (after a suitable recovery period!) for the 600 mile non stop passage required to gain the Yachtmaster Ocean Certificate of Competence.
Price: £300.00pp (minimum numbers apply)
After all this, it's completely up to you what you do with your new found skills. Whether it be taking a job as a skipper on board a luxury yacht in the Med, delivering yachts across oceans, teaching others what you have learned (Cruising Instructor assessments and Shorebased Instructor courses can be arranged) or simply having the confidence to go sailing whenever and wherever you please.
The oceans will become your playground.
You may even find we offer you a job taking the next crew of Fast Track sailors through their paces.
