Service Description
RYA Tender Operator Course aims: The RYA Tender Operator Course is aimed at those who are about to embark on work as superyacht crew or those who are in the industry and want to develop their skills. The course develops skills required to transfer clients from ship to shore and increase experience of using a ship's tender. It has a strong emphasis on using electronic navigation (chart plotters) to navigate safely by day or night. This is backed up with basic chart work and a range of pilotage techniques. You will learn how to give an appropriate safety brief to your clients for the conditions. Common emergency situations are discussed with an emphasis on how to prevent them developing. You will also practise berthing manoeuvres to make your boat handling smooth and professional. The Tender Operator course is also a useful stepping stone to the RYA Intermediate and Advanced Powerboat courses. Tender Operator Course content: The RYA Tender Operator course covers a range of topics to enable you to skipper a ship's tender safely and competently. This includes day and night time pilotage techniques as well as basic chart work. Navigation is primarily using chart plotters, as this is most common means on most tenders. You also develop your practical handling, with plenty of berthing practice. Distress situations are also covered which includes MOB practice, passenger safety and comfort and emergency situations. Course pre-requisites: For the RYA Tender Operator course, you will need experience equivalent to RYA Powerboat Level 2, preferably with a Powerboat Level 2 certificate. You should be happy navigating and planning short, daytime passages in coastal waters. It is strongly recommended that candidates hold a First Aid and VHF/SRC operator’s certificate. The course runs from 0930 in to the evening on Day 1 in order for the student to gain night time experience of passaging and helming in the dark. Day 2 will end mid to late afternoon. Contact OneOcean to book a date. This course runs on an "as needed" basis.
