The Competent Crew Course and Introduction to Sail are ideal courses for complete beginners. For budding yacht skippers the RYA Day Skipper Course entitles you to the ‘International Certificate of Competence’ (ICC) which is the minimum requirement of most charter companies.
Having passed your Day Skipper Course come and charter one of our yachts for a weekend or week and enjoy the exhilaration and freedom of life on board. Those wanting to skipper professionally or improve skills can do the RYA Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster assessment courses.
Our RYA Powerboat Level 2 course provides all the skills and knowledge you need to drive a Powerboat up to 10 metres in length. Successful course completion also entitles you to an International Certificate of Competence to charter a boat abroad and skipper your own.

There’s nothing like sailing to make a team bond and work well together.
There’s Always Something New to Learn on the Water
Being Monday morning I went to check on the well being of my girls - the Dockmasters had emailed me over the weekend to let me know that they had been around checking and all was safe and well with the yachts despite the heavy duty weather.
A quiet sigh of relief on my part before embarking on another small task which forms part of our winter refit. Stocktake. By that I don’t mean counting the fenders to make sure they are all present and accounted for. But knives and forks. I literally go through everything, listing and counting to make sure that we have the appropriate quantity of cutlery and crockery on board. There is nothing more irritating than making a cup of tea and realising that you have no teaspoons to stir your drink with. I buy two sets of everything, with some spares kept in the cage. So imagine my surprise when I started A small shortage on Lily but nothing major - although how we have acquired 3 tin openers on board remains a mystery. Then I transferred my attention to the cutlery draw on Sea Breeze. There must be several bars and restaurants around the Solent with a drastic loss of teaspoons. I found 19 extra teaspoons on her, plus countless knives and forks. But it’s the kitchen knives that disturbed me the most. Where are they? I bought red handled ones for one boat and blue handled for the other . By using this Keep It Simple Stupid format it’s easier to track and identify what goes on what boat. Breezy has been left with a solitary, red handled bread knife. As for the other 6-7 kitchen knives- who knows where they are now! Kitchen shop, stand by, I am coming in.
