Whether you’re new to sailing or looking to build your experience, yachting is a fantastic way to get out on the water. Join us for a yacht taster, regular cruising, racing, or one of our courses, and enjoy hands-on sailing in a friendly, supportive environment. Based in Dover.

Always wanted to try sailing on a yacht but not sure where to start? Our Yacht Taster sessions are the perfect introduction. Join our friendly skipper and crew for a relaxed, hands-on experience where you can learn the basics, enjoy time on the water in the Channel, and take in iconic views such as the White Cliffs—all in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.

Want to do more yacht sailing? Join us for relaxed cruising where you can practise and develop your skills at your own pace. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yachtie, our casual sailing sessions offer a friendly, enjoyable way to spend time on the water and build confidence while sailing along the coast.

We work in partnership with Ramsgate Sailing School to offer RYA yachting courses, with our members benefiting from discounted training. From Competent Crew, Day Skipper through to Yachtmaster practical, these first-class courses provide professional instruction and a clear pathway to build skills, confidence, and qualifications.
