The staff are very friendly, with an excellent selection of courses and boats. The atmosphere is great and the paddle boarding sessions are very fun. Very good for beginner sailors.

My kids started out nervous, but the staff are very welcoming and soon made them feel happy. They had a brilliant week and now love sailing. I felt very happy leaving my kids with the staff very professional and security ...
