This was a great experience. I do think the low tide hampers ones ability to enjoy it fully. Obviously this cant be avoided. Next time I'll book outside of low tides. Otherwise fun and good to be in nature. Will book again.



Learning to sail is both fun and exciting, especially in the beautiful surroundings of Christchurch, Dorset. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the basics, ensuring you have a memorable and rewarding time on the water.
On the first day, you'll be introduced to the boat and equipment, learning essential techniques like tacking (basic turns) and using the sails to start and stop. The day will be filled with hands-on practice under the guidance of our instructors.
On the second day, you'll build on these skills, learning more advanced techniques and gaining the confidence needed to sail on your own. There will be plenty of practice time and feedback sessions to ensure you are comfortable and skilled by the end of the course.
Our courses are held in the scenic town of Christchurch, Dorset. The location offers a perfect blend of calm waters for beginners and more challenging conditions as your skills improve.
