Learn to Sail Sailing Holidays and Courses

 

Learn to Sail - you've decided you'd like to give it a go, but where to start?

In many walks of life you will find competing associations and sailing / boating is no different. Associations such as the RYA (Royal Yachting Association), IYT (International Yachtmaster) or ASA (American Sailing Association) for example all produce a range of course syllabus which schools can 'sign-up' to and then offer their customers once they have satisfied the association's quality criteria. Following the syllabus offered by these associations offers you a route to improving your boating ability through taking successive courses.

Of course, you may not be fussed about following syllabus' - you’d rather just get out and sail and cross the certification bridge when you come to it. Or perhaps you simply want to go on a holiday which will teach you to sail.

Organisations found through our Learn to Sail section do not necessarily offer you a particular syllabus to follow – rather they offer a ‘course’, holiday or experience which will let you get on the water and learn at a pace to suit you. There are no expectations, no levels to attain, you just sail.

We currently offer five options for this type of holiday:
