Value for money?
Our prices are not at the 'bucket shop' end of the market, and with good reason.
We have put together courses we would be happy taking as students.
Big boats, small crew, good food and great instructors.
None of which comes cheap...
Four students, not five
Only four students aboard a bigger than everage school yacht means more quality instructor time and a civilised living environment for you.
Great Instructors
The best instructors don't come cheap. Our instructors are the kind of people we like to spend time with, intelligent and relaxed. You'll like them too.
Home cooked food.
We put lots of great food aboard. Home cooked evening meals and plenty of snacks to keep you going.
Minutiae
We don't charge for foul weather gear, that’s £6 or £7 a day you don't have to find and we don't run a 'kitty' on board, there is no need. You only pay for meals ashore and water taxi's.
Free Course
The course fee includes a one day RYA shorebased course, take your pick.
