Corfu Sea School is a British owned RYA
approved sail training centre providing a wide range of courses
from its base in Corfu, Greece. We operate all year round
and pride ourselves on offering relaxed yet comprehensive
tuition in all aspects of yachting including sailing, navigation
and seamanship. All our courses are run on modern, fully equipped
yachts that meet the stringent requirements of the MCA Safety
Code. Whether you are a complete novice, improver or 'old
hand' looking to gain a specific qualification we are confident
that we can provide a course to suit you.
 The
school was started by its principal, Steve Hills (a RYA Yachtmaster
Instructor with over 30 years experience) after many years cruising
Greek waters. The idyllic mixture of countless islands and bays,
sun, warm water and gentle winds convinced Steve that the Ionian
was the very best place to provide sail training. We are sure
that you will feel the same after your course with Corfu Sea
School.
We are based in Gouvia Marina on the island
of Corfu. From here we set sail into the Ionian sea to visit
many of the area's famous islands and bays including: Paxos,
Lefkas, Ithaca and Cephalonia.
The Ionian is an ideal place to learn how
to sail. Most mornings the wind is light, perfect for practicing
boat handling skills. In the afternoon the wind builds (force
3 to 5) giving exhilarating sailing conditions before dying
away again in the evening for a comfortable nights stay in
the harbours and anchorages. Gales are rare in the area (less
than 5% of the time) and because of the protection offered
by the numerous islands and surrounding mountains we are rarely
unable to take to the water.
Even in the winter the area benefits
from warm conditions offering the chance to develop new sailing
skills when British waters are not so appealing.
