"I booked my dinghy course from my phone in about 30 seconds. By the weekend I was out on the water sailing it myself — a brilliant first taste of sailing."

Quick Answers
What experience do I need?
None at all. Our Start Sailing dinghy course is built for complete beginners — if
you've never set foot in a boat, you're exactly who it's for. You'll be sailing a
dinghy yourself by the end of it.
Can I pay a deposit instead of the full amount?
Yes! You can pay a 25% deposit at checkout, with the balance due 28 days before your
start date. We'll send you a reminder so nothing sneaks up on you.
What's included in the price?
Everything you need on the water: dinghy hire, buoyancy aid, wetsuit and waterproofs,
all tuition, RYA course materials and certification, plus hot drinks through the day.
Just bring a change of clothes and a sense of adventure.
What's the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 28 days before the course start date for a full refund.
Between 14–28 days, we offer a 50% refund or free transfer to another date.
Inside 14 days, we'll try to fill your place, and if we can, you get a full refund.
