With training and some practice, you can impress with your boat handling skills. Learn to resolve that difficult berthing situation and handle your boat with confidence and skill.

New Skipper/Owner Training
Specially designed for the needs of a new skipper/owner of a yacht. Our qualified instructors will guide you through the early stages of ownership enabling you to expand your abilities in a safe environment and to use your boat to its full potential.

Crew/Race Training
We train your crew on your boat to be competitive and maybe even win. Ideally for those skippers and crew who want specialised training to enable them to compete in major inshore or offshore races. We will train your crew to get the best performance out of each job.
