We specialise in own boat tuition and our Skippers will travel anywhere in the world to provide first-class training in any aspect of sailing or motor boating - at your own pace, on your own boat and in familiar waters. Whether you’re a first time boat owner seeking basic, confidence boosting instruction or a seasoned sailor looking for a course in advanced boat handling, we can provide training for any duration - be it a one day ‘refresher’, a full RYA course or something in-between.
Because our daily rate covers tuition for up to four people - instead of a charge per person as on our standard courses - own boat tuition can be the most cost effective way to do any of the RYA courses or other training to suit your own particular needs.

Run over a single (mid-week) day or over a weekend, our family friendly pre-flotilla courses are ideal for absolute beginners to learn some basic crewing skills before embarking on their first sailing holiday. Wary first time skippers can practice ‘stern-to’ mooring techniques here in the Solent before taking their first command in the warmer, non-tidal waters of the Mediterranean.

"Southern Sailing has been our 'UK connection' for more than twenty years. They have trained hundreds of our flotilla sailing clientele in the basics before they venture out to the Greek islands. Many of our young flotilla crews have also been trained up to Yachtmaster standard by them. Like ourselves, Southern Sailing is family owned and they run a mixture of older and newer yachts to 'give people a go at sailing' in a relaxed and friendly environment."
Throughout the year we offer one day midweek practical Sail or Motor courses for individuals or couples on a ‘one to one’ basis. During the day we can cover whatever aspect of sailing or motor boating you require.These confidence building courses are especially popular with novice sailors about to embark upon their first flotilla holiday
Running Monday to Thursday, these one day courses are sometimes available at short notice.

We run specialised ICC (International Certificate of Competence) for those more experienced individuals who require an ICC in order to sail or charter in European waters. The ICC assessment can normally be completed in a day providing the candidate has some previous experience and a working knowledge of the Collision Avoidance Regulations.
Running Monday to Thursday, these one day courses are sometimes available at short notice.

After honing their skills in home waters there comes a time when all sailors look for more distant horizons and new challenges.
This 5 day course is designed to satisfy these ambitions under the the guidance of one of our highly experienced skippers.The aim is to cross the Channel and visit harbours in the Channel Islands and mainland France. If the weather is not favourable for a Channel crossing then longer distance cruising along the English south coast will be undertaken instead.
The very nature of the course means that greater emphasis will be placed on long distance pilotage and navigation, than on practicing marina boat handling.
The course is suitable for anyone seeking adventurous sailing, and is an ideal way to take the Coastal Skipper practical course. The course also offers aspiring Yachtmasters the opportunity for mile building and to gain offshore skippering experience by day and night.
