Not All eBooks

We've carefully constructed meaningful subscription packages at an affordable price, rather than offering a single "all eBook" subscription. This would be too expensive and would also include content that customers wouldn't use.

Please email publications@rya.org.uk with any feedback or suggestions.

New Content and Updates

We'll add any relevant new eBooks to your subscription package as they become available. While your subscription is active, these will show as "Available" within the My eBooks > Owned section of the RYA Books app, and within their respective categories.

If we replace an eBook, you won't be able to download the old version. However, your download will remain in My eBooks > Downloaded within your subscription period.

If we update an eBook, you'll see "Update Available" rather than "Downloaded". Simply tap or click to update.

Subscription Only Content

Depending on your credentials, instructors may be eligible for additional free content, such as relevant syllabus and logbooks and course pack books. This additional content is added to your subscription when your credentials are verified as part of the purchasing process.

Answer booklets for shorebased course packs are not included in the instructor-only subscription content. These are restricted items that can only be bought by RYA Recognised Training Centres (RTCs) with the appropriate recognition. The instructor-only subscription content is designed as a convenience in order to help instructors put course material together. Answer booklets are not required in order to put course materials together. It is the responsibility of an RTC to provide an instructor pack to the instructors they use to deliver courses.

As access to instructor-only content is dependent on your individual credentials, please ensure that you use your personal email address when you order, rather than a generic (info@) email address.

If you'd like to purchase a subscription for your school or RYA Recognised Training Centre, or use a generic email address, please be aware that you won't be eligible for instructor-only content.
