Go Sailing

Fancy giving Sailing a go?  Our range of modern dinghies means that, whatever your experience, we have the boat for you.   Alternatively, if you have your own boat, we offer own-boat tuition so you can learn how to get the most out of it!    Please note that Sailing boats are not available for hire.

We offer a range of courses to suit all ages and abilities whether it is your first sailing experience or you are wanting to refresh your skills if you have not sailed for a while.   These can lead on to the internationally recognised RYA qualifications, or we can arrange tuition on a more bespoke basis to suit you. 

Sailing Taster Session

2 Hours / £80 per person

Our Sailing Taster Sessions provide the perfect opportunity to come and have a go, without having to commit to a 2-day course.   It might be something you have always fancied, but not had the confidence to try and see if it is for you.  Maybe you have not sailed for a while and just need some help getting back get out on the water. Whatever your reason, our taster sessions will give you the basic skills you will need if you decide to go on and book a RYA Course.

We run taster sessions in either Single-hander boats – great if you want maximum time at the controls, Laser 16’s, which take upto 4 people – great for couples and familes and Hawk 20 sessions that can take up to 6 people. This is our most stable boat, really well suited for people who are less mobile or for those wanting the bigger boat experience.

Learning to Sail

Our range of modern dinghies means that, whatever your experience, we have the boat for you. Alternatively, if you have your own boat, we offer own-boat tuition so you can learn how to get the most out of it!

We have a wide range of good quality wetsuits, spray tops and buoyancy aids but you will need your own footwear such as wetsuit boots or old trainers.
