RYA TRAINING — FROM THAILAND TO THE MEDITERRANEAN
Build your skills. Build your miles. Take the next step.
RYA Training
From Thailand to the Mediterranean.
At Worldwide Sail, we believe sailing education shouldn't stop at one course, one country or one season.
Alongside our sailing and Miles Building programmes in Thailand, we work with a network of established RYA training partners in Europe and the Mediterranean.
This allows us to help sailors find the right next step in their RYA journey — whether that means sea miles in the Andaman Sea or a formal RYA course with one of our partner centres.
Find the RYA training you need
Tell us what you want to achieve.
Whether you are taking your first steps into formal sailing training or progressing towards advanced qualifications such as Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster, we can help identify suitable training opportunities based on your profile.
Where a course is delivered by one of our partner schools, the training and certification remain the responsibility of that RYA Recognised Training Centre.
Thailand
Build Experience & Sea Miles.
For sailors who need more practical experience before progressing to advanced training or a Yachtmaster examination, Worldwide Sail offers dedicated Miles Building programmes in the Andaman Sea.
Seven-day Phuket mile builders run aboard Bavaria 46. Longer international passages continue aboard the classic 75-ft sailing yacht Seraph:
- Passage planning
- Coastal and offshore navigation
- Watchkeeping
- Night navigation
- Sail handling
- Skippering experience
- Longer passages
- Practical seamanship
- Building valuable sea miles
Our Miles Building programme is limited to a maximum of 8 participants, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to take an active role aboard.
On board
Why build miles with us?
Proper offshore logs
Every passage is logged for sea-time evidence — nights, miles and tidal experience documented.
Tidal waters
The Andaman Sea west coast is tidal, supporting qualifying sea-time requirements.
Small groups
No more than 8 participants means real responsibility, not tourism.
Classic yacht seamanship
Develop sail trim, navigation and command aboard Bavaria 46 in Phuket and Seraph on international passages.
Our Phuket RYA / IYT school is in development. Formal certification remains available through our partner training centres.
