The Zero to Hero Course is SIA’s most popular course. Why? The answer is a thorough course, which is very attractively priced and offers a fun introduction to becoming a recreational yacht skipper. The course is essentially 3 courses that can be learned sequentially. The ‘classic course’ is 14 days in duration or two other options to complete this course – the dates of courses are explained on this link in detail.
The ISSA Zero to Hero course serves as the foundational training for becoming a Yacht Crew Instructor and also helps you build the skills and knowledge required to advance as an ISSA Offshore Skipper or Master of Yachts.
The 3 elements to the course are Yacht Crew, VHF Radio, Inshore Skipper. There are handbooks that are available to students for elements to this course. These can be purchased at the shop individually or in the near future as a compendium edition.

The Keelboat Navigator Course is fun! Its about learning to navigate using modern tablet or iPad software that enables you to go further afield in a boat that is a great dayboat but isnt fitted with tons of electronics but has high quality chart plotter software to make coastal sailing easy and to ensure you have quality tidal information and weather reports. Talk to us on Whats App if you’d like to ask any questions.

The Inshore Skipper ISSA Multihull course is a 10 day course that includes VHF Radio, Inshore Skipper 1 and Inshore Skipper 2. We generally run this ten day course after students have done their ISSA Yacht Crew Course (4 days). We strongly recommend that you do the Yacht Crew Course if you have learned to sail some time ago and or if you come from dinghy sailing. Yachts and Multihulls require similar skills, and the Inshore Skipper 10 day course requires that you know how to sail in all directions, that you can reef, heave to, moor a yacht, come alongside and anchor. The 10 days is spent learning navigation, meteorology, yacht management, engines, safety and a whole gamut of extra things which ensure you are a good learner skipper at course end. The Multihull course can be taken on a multihull throughout, but our strong recommendation is you complete the course on a range of vessels. The Zero to Hero Course includes all the above courses but also a 4 day Yacht Crew Course and is exceptionally well priced!
Sail in Asia believe in giving you skills, knowledge, sail training and most important the language to direct the crew in boat handling and to keep the crew safe! Making you autonomous is our aim!

The ISSA Inshore Skipper Course is designed for Yachts, Multihulls and Keelboats. At SIA you will become proficient on Yachts, Keelboats and Multihulls. We have 12 vessels that fit these categories.

Students wishing to attend this course need to have 800 sea miles properly logged and hold an ISSA Inshore Skipper or RYA Day Skipper certificate.
The course is a 10 day course combining practical and theory in yacht seamanship and navigation for students who have completed a foundation course (Zero to Hero Classic) with Sail in Asia and also a 14 day course for students who have alternative accreditation, (RYA, ASA, AYA etc) or significant time lapses, since their original Theory was learnt.

The RiB skipper 1 Course is an introductory familiarisation course for beginners to RIBs. The Rigid Inflatable Boat is extremely popular all over the world. Generally it’s made of two materials, Hypalon and PVC. The PVC boat lasts about 3-5 years but degrades in the sun, Hypalon RIBs last about twice as long however, but they are almost double the price! Usually these boats are powered by 2 stroke or 4 stroke outboard engines. The 4 stroke is the much cleaner (environmentally speaking) ICE engine and the more reliable. RIBS come in many sizes from small 2.4 dinghies to 15m RIBs that are used by commercial concerns to facilitate offshore oil and gas operations as well as coastguard and life saving / safety roles. Consequently there is a huge demand for training for these vessels.
The RIB Skipper 1 is a one day course aimed at introducing the boat to a beginner. The safe operation of this vessel cannot be under stated. This course aims to be a familiarisation and introduction to safe operating practices. The following topics are covered by this course:
