Samuel has loved the course, and has come away confident and at ease with how to sail. He’s also had a lot of fun. The instructor (dom) was brilliant with the kids.

This place is a real gem. I was given a voucher and booked it here as a present. It's such a friendly place. Everything is provided. Instructors are supportive, admin staff are super organised and they have a cafe with cake for when it's all over!! I'll definitely be back.

I just wanted to say how impressed with the RYA 1 and RYA 2 course our son completed a couple of weeks ago. My husband is a sailor and knows his stuff and he thought the course was excellent. We particularly wanted to single out one of your staff members – Tom - who was amazing

The boys had a great time. Office booking was really easy and very accommodating. Finn was really excellent.
