We pride ourselves on delivering tuition to RYA standards employing only qualified RYA Instructors; whether you're booking a sailing holiday for you and your family or sharpening your sailing skills, rest assured your skipper will have a wealth of experience to pass on. Remember the emphasis is always to enjoy
Six is a Crowd!
Our yachts are all modern, less than 5 years old and MCA coded for your safety; we never have a student Instructor ratio of more than 5 to one. You will never sail on one of our yachts with any more than 5 students.
RYA Theory Courses
RYA Theory, come prepared - these courses are challenging and thought provoking. Fastrackers learn in modern classrooms with first class facilities. We believe that your theory should be taught ashore before you put theory into practice.
Theory in Comfort
At our UK shore based facility you can study your theory in comfort. Based in the Cotswolds near junction 15 M4 you can stay for a week. Master the theory before arriving for our weekly RYA courses. Call for information.
If you would like to study your RYA Theory as part of a holiday, then why not stay at Villa El Mirador www.costa-brava-villa.com. Please contact us for details.
Yacht Fleet
Our modern Beneteau yachts, from 31 - 48 feet are also available bareboat for the more experienced; new yachts have been added each year and none is older than five years.
Private Tuition
If you would like personal tuition, be it theory, practical or own boat, our RYA Yachtmaster Instructors will take you as far as you would like to go. From Start Sailing, through Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper, to Yacht master and beyond.
