RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy
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!

Course RYA Competent Crew or RYA Day Skipper practical in Gibraltar
I feel so lucky to have found Cathy and her school. There is absolutely no end to her availability and willingness to make sure my Day Skipper experience was fulfilling. Incredible instructors (quite hilarious), wonderful boats, and Gibraltar is perfect for wind and experience.
Thank you, Cathy!!!

RYA Day Skipper Course, Genoa, Italy
Communication with the front office was punctual and clear. Our very trained, professional and empathetic instructor Fabrizio helped us in every phase of the training so that we could get the best possible result. From a technical point of view, which is the focus in such an activity, excellent experience.

RYA Day Skipper in Sardinia, Italy
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

5-day practical Day Skipper course
A crossing to Ceuta from Gibraltar on a Bavaria is a unique experience. The captain is a genius, who knows what he is doing and makes you have a good time. With winds of more than 30 knots and waves of more than 3 meters, he remained calm and safe on board at all times. I learned a lot and had more fun. Recommendable!
