A fantastic sailing and team building experience. During the Day Skipper I grew both technically and personally. Our instructor Wim handled every situation with calmness and a smile. We were five students who of course made mistakes, but thanks to his patience and perseverance, every mistake became a chance to learn.

I applied for the competent crew course as a real beginner.
It's been an amazing experience; Fabrizio, the instructor, is a very well organized person, able to let you learn whatever is in your capabilities.
I'm glad I got this experience, I'll be more confident with sailboats from now on, and I know that with this RYA course my approach will be more professional

I have joined the Competent Crew course, it was my first experience on a boat! William is a truly incredible instructor and capitan. Despite the rain, the wind or other challenges he was always calm and positive! He embraced our mistakes with poise and humour hoping they would help us to learn! Looking forward to back!

Great week learning how to sail with William. He has two boats and I was on the boat with more experienced crew. Had my own very comfortable cabin. Only 3 crew so we all got to skipper for two days each. It was fun, exhilarating and of course stunning scenery. William is patient and has a ton of knowledge to share. Hug
