RYA Training in Hong Kong
Welcome to China’s first RYA Sail Cruising Recognized Training Centre. We are based in Hong Kong and teach the full range of both theory and practical RYA yacht cruising courses. To see our RYA registration details click here.
RYA qualifications are recognized all over the world as being the ‘gold standard’ for boating qualification, both for pleasure and commercial use. The RYA have Recognized Training Centres (RTC) all over the world from Australia to the USA and it’s only through these RTCs they deliver their world class training and qualifications. For more information on RYA training click here.
Latest News (Nov 2024)
After 11 years of delivering RYA training we are taking a break from delivering RYA practical courses while we negotiate a transfer of ownership. However, if you are interested in a private course or tuition then we may be able to fulfil those requests (email mail@asiapacificyachting.com). We will contact all our registered customers once we have more information.

Services
In addition to the RYA courses we also offer other added services such as experience building day’s, race training, ISAF safety reviews, etc. Please contact us and give detials of the service you are considering.
Training Yachts
We have two training yachts in the school to suit all types of sailing.
Beneteau 37
Our newer Beneteau 37 is ideal for training RYA Competent Crew and RYA Day Skipper as its a good comfortable size but small enough for a new skipper to be able to handle her with ease. She is well equipped and has excellent cover from the sun with a full bimini. The Beneteau can comfortably sleep 7 and with its large, wide cockpit it’s very comfortable upstairs.
Bavaria 47
Our larger Bavaria 47 is more suited towards the RYA Coastal Skipper and RYA Yachtmaster courses but as she has air conditioning we use her more frequently in the hotter months. Her features also including a 240V generator, electric primary winches, radar and HF radio. So she is also ideally setup for blue water cruising.
‘Own Boat’ Training
If you wish to have your own private course on your own yacht this can be arranged. The yacht used must meet certain standards we will be happy to advise you about the details on request.
