With courses including First Aid, Safety (Sea Survival and World Sailing Offshore Personal Survival), Communications (VHF SRC), RADAR, and Diesel Engine, we would be delighted to host you in our modern classroom at Port Hamble Marina.
If you prefer, for most courses we can come to you. If you have a private pool, we can even train you and your race/regatta/voyage crew in Sea Survival as a team with no travel required.

As e-learning (asynchronous) options, we offer VHF SRC*, Professional Practices and Responsibilites, and Navigation (through our partners). These courses can be done at your own pace, and you can dip in and out to suit.
(*VHF SRC Exams are face to face)
We also offer most of our courses as face to face instructor led sessions (using Zoom - but don't worry, we make it fun) for synchronous learning as a group.

Whilst we are not an RYA Practical Centre (although we have many we work with!), all our team are experienced practical boaters.
We can offer on board familiarisation and development training, race coaching, and can even assist with RYA Certificates if required.
