RYA Day Skipper is a Royal Yachting Association qualification and course for recreational sailors and powerboaters, certifying that the holder can skipper a small yacht safely on daytime coastal passages in familiar waters. It covers navigation, boat handling, safety, and basic meteorology, and is typically a stepping stone toward more advanced certifications like Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster. It's popular among hobbyist sailors in the UK and internationally who want to charter or skipper boats independently.
