Sailing Sea School |

We
are a family run sailing school who offer sailing courses from beginner
to Yachtmaster Prep. The sea school is recognised by the Royal Yachting
Association and is based in Universal Marina, Hamble River on the Solent.
The Solent is the perfect area and we can sail in comfort in most
conditions due to the Solent sheltered by the Isle of Wight. We use a larger yacht rather than the normal 33ft to 38ft yacht, our
yacht is 42ft. Not only does this give all onboard more space, but
during midweek courses we have options for own cabin, smaller numbers,
two couple's courses as well as 3 singles courses. Hopefully
this will give all onboard, space, comfort and also with reduced number
of students, so with 3 or 4 students, rather than
5, extra time for a really high standard of tuition! RYA
