Step aboard our 40 foot yacht ‘Boomer’, hoist the sails and trim them for all points of sailing, learn important maneuvers like gybing and tacking, and be able to reef sails, set a preventer and assist with mooring, anchoring and docking. No prior experience necessary.
Learn to Sail is a stand alone course, or taken as one part of the internationally recognised International Crew Certificate.
Learn to Sail + Competent Crew + Night Sailing + Theory Exam = International Crew Certificate.
“I took the Learn to Sail course this weekend, my first time ever trying to learn to sail. It was incredibly fun, the instructor Phil and all the other learners were great, and I feel like I learned a lot.” – Stace S. (29 Jul, ’24)

The Competent Crew Weekend reinforces the lessons learnt during the Learn to Sail Weekend and develops a whole new set of skills. It is also designed as a bridging course for experienced sailors to prepare for a skipper course.
You will learn to helm (steer) the yacht under power and sail, navigate, build your knowledge, improve your seamanship and take more responsibility for crewing the yacht.
“I had zero sailing experience before I enrolled in the Competant Crew course but within 6 months I completed the competant crew course, skipper course and radio licence . All thanks to Blue Water Sailing School. I highly recommend them.
