Welcome to Coast and Cairn

Coast and Cairn, based near Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, specialises in the delivery of RYA Shorebased Training Courses.

Our aim is to provide high quality instruction in a range of essential marine skills. All of our courses have been developed by the internationally respected Royal Yachting Association, to support both recreational boaters and professional seafarers alike.

Whether it’s a 1-day course looking at a specific skill such as using Marine Radio or First Aid, to more comprehensive courses covering a much wider range of topics such as Seamanship, Safety and Navigation, we have a course to suit all levels and aspirations.
