Valuations
Paola is an excellent, highly experienced (and very patient) instructor, and I was on a top quality and fun boat, learning how to Day Skipper around some of the most beautiful coastlines and islands in the world. 11/10, can't recommend highly enough.

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

William is an experienced and knowledgeable instructor. He was patient and kind, and I've learned a lot from him.
The boat itself was in great condition. I have stayed on the boat for the course duration and was quite comfortable.
I also liked the region where the course took place.
I will return for the next course!

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!
