CRUISING
Explore the NorthWales coast and Irish Sea and enjoy the world of yacht sailing on one of our popular cruising courses.
Whilst learning or improving your sailing skills, you’ll visit unspoilt covers, quiet harbours, get a warm welcome from yacht clubs and sail on the open sea, far from the stresses of everyday life. Our courses will also let you experience the adventure of passage making, sailing at night and making landfalls.
To get the most out of coastal and offshore cruising you need to be confident, safe, skilled and experienced and it’s our aim to help you develop those skills and ensure you get the most out of your sea time.
The Sea: Life at sea is a refreshing change from the routine and rigours of everyday life. Your course will be governed by the tides, sea, wind and weather. Your instructors will shape the course to make sure that you get the most out of your time at sea and you’ll learn how to work the tides and keep an eye on the effects of wind and weather, which will affect what you do each day and the miles you cover.
