No previous sailing experience is necessary...
If you're a complete novice you may want to book an Royal Yachting Association (RYA) course. In your 1st week you'll gain a perfect introduction to life onboard and achieve RYA Competent crew. Or learn to sail on flotilla with a 6-day instructor onboard your yacht - perfect for couples and families trying out the unique experience of holidaying aboard your own yacht.
Gain an RYA qualification ...
Beginners will start with RYA Competent Crew, but if you have crewing or motorboat experience sign up for RYA Day Skipper. Adults can book a cabin on a shared yacht at an RYA Recognised Training centre in Gibraltar, Greece or Croatia whilst families may prefer to book exclusive use of a training yacht, available in Greece, Turkey, Gibraltar or Croatia. Maximum 5 students on each training yacht. But remember the instructor will not look after young children so best for children over 12.
Brush up your sailing skills ...
A 3-day instructor on flotilla in Greece is ideal if you sailed a while ago or you have crewing or motorboat experience or you are a keen dinghy sailor at Club level. On successful completion of the course you will be able to skipper a yacht within our flotilla under the guidance of our lead crew, practising your new skills as skipper.
