Maritime Radio

Communication at sea is critical to both good seamanship and to the safety of your vessel. It is used to advise other vessels of your intentions and requests. It allows you to get updates on safety and weather conditions, as well as making emergency calls. But many people are unfamiliar with the use of radio communications and can often feel ‘Mic Shy’.

Completing the RYA VHF radio course will give you necessary practise and experience to build your confidence in you radio communication skills and allow you to hold the Ship’s Radio and Portable Radio License.
