Novice Sailing Courses
The key to a happy and successful sailing experience is choosing a course or holiday that’s right for you. The most important factor is your current level of knowledge and ability.
These courses are for ‘Novice Level’.

Everyone can get involved in sailing - even quite young children. We have lots of experience helping families organise sailing holidays / courses and even offer our own Sailing Dolphin scheme for younger children.
