Family Staycation and Group Sailing in the UK holiday
Over the past 30 years we have had family and groups of individuals come for weekends, or week long sailing courses with us as individual groups. We work with family groups to then deliver a week sailing course and an enjoyable holiday away from the normal day to day life. With adventure exploring the Solent, seeing different marinas, going to the Isle of Wight or further afield to Poole or Chichester. The week can be learning from Competent crew to Day skipper, while having some quality family time and enjoying the time away from the normality. This is great for a UK holiday and great for learning something new and growing as a group or family team, imbedding skills and possibly finding a new thing to do as a family in the future. Something that’s great value and amazing experience for the everyone.
Tailored Experiences, Crafted Just for You
We believe every yachting adventure should be as unique as you are. That’s why, following an initial consultation, we work closely with you to understand your specific needs, goals, and dreams. From there, we build a completely bespoke programme—whether that’s a custom training plan, an unforgettable event, or a tailored voyage—empowering you to go beyond simply ‘exceeding expectations’.
Over the years we’ve helped many of our customers achieve their dreams, through bespoke training plans and events such as:
- Zero to Hero (RYA Competent Crew to RYA Yachtmaster)
- RYA Competent Crew to RYA Day Skipper
- RYA Competent Crew with Solent Sailing Weekends afterwards to build confidence
- Friendly semi-competitive race-days between friends on multiple boats
- Channel Island trips and flotilla holidays
- Americas Cup spectators day including evening BBQ & party
- Fastnet training and the race itself!
- Plus many more others…………….
Whether you’re seeking a one-day refresher course, a comprehensive progression from beginner to Yachtmaster, or a unique event for your group, our approach always begins with you. We’ll chat through your aspirations and requirements, then build a programme completely tailored to your needs—no cookie-cutter solutions here. Our team works with renowned instructors and draws on years of expertise to craft experiences and training that truly empower you to go beyond simply “exceeding expectations.”
So instead of sitting there letting your dreams remain as just that, why not contact us and let us see if we can make them a reality!
The Tailored Training Journey
Once we’ve had an initial chat to understand your goals, we craft a unique training plan just for you. This customised approach means you’ll receive guidance and experiences designed specifically to match your ambitions—no cookie-cutter packages here! Whether you have your sights set on the RYA Yachtmaster or want to build confidence with extra Solent weekends, we’ll map out each step, ensuring your journey is as rewarding as it is memorable.
Flexible Training Formats to Suit You
We understand that everyone learns differently, which is why we offer a choice between dynamic on-board training—immersing you in real sailing conditions—or comfortable residential courses for those who prefer learning ashore. You can pick the style that fits your schedule, lifestyle, and aspirations, with the same high level of support no matter which path you choose. Whether you want to experience life at sea from day one or enjoy the camaraderie of a residential learning environment, the option is yours.
How to Register for Upcoming Courses – And What It Will Cost
If you’re eyeing your next training milestone or perhaps looking for a fresh challenge, booking your spot on a course is refreshingly simple. Most of these opportunities are run online—no need for wellies or waterproofs—making it easy to join from the comfort of your home or even while at sea.
Registration: Quick, Easy, and Online
- Head to the individual course page and you’ll usually find a straightforward registration link or button. Click through, fill in your details, and you’re all set—just keep an eye out for those limited places!
- For some events, there may be an option to request more information first—handy if you have questions or aren’t quite ready to commit.
- Keep in mind, places do fill up, especially for the more specialised or free sessions, so we recommend booking early to secure your spot.
What You Can Expect to Pay
- Many introductory webinars and awareness sessions (such as industry intros or well-being talks) are free to attend—a great way to dip your toes in and see what’s on offer with zero commitment.
- More advanced courses or professional certifications (for example, leadership or purser programmes) carry a fee, which can range from around £1,495 up to £4,495 depending on the depth and duration of the training.
