Testimonials

Learned more in these five days than in 4 years of personal boating . Our instructor willingly shared his vast knowledge and made things interesting by posing many questions and provided feedback when needed in a considerate honest way. It was great to have the variety of food we had onboard. The bed and pillows were comfortable.

Really enjoyed the course. The rotation of duties / roles works very well. Skipper seemed to know the area – ports and anchor bays well which was beneficial and meant we got a lot out of the trip. I enjoyed the atmosphere – everyone taking responsibility but informal.

Nicola Erskine

Instructor was very knowledgeable and good at showing what he means. He is very good at ensuring the students know what is expected. The sailing route was good so in addition to learning it was nice to see the harbours. Mix of people on board was great and good to learn with. Great overall.
