The Ideal Gift Experience
What a great idea!  This 2-day course is just perfect for those who’d love to see just why sailing is so fantastic.

The primary aim of Start Yachting is to give people a fun weekend and it also provides a short introduction to sail cruising for novices. By the end of the course participants will have had a great time, take home cherished memories (and lots of great photos) and they will have experienced steering a yacht, sail handling, rope work and be aware of safety onboard.

Start Yachting costs just €350 (inc. IVA) – that’s approximately £245 – and includes accommodation on board, a light lunch each day, mooring fees and a personal log book.

Students who have completed ‘Start Yachting’ would then be able to go on to gain their Competent Crew certificate, a perfectly achievable aim with a further three days (or two weekends) tuition with us.
