Watersports Activity Days and Royal Yachting courses for Schools and Groups
Children love our watersports activity days and RYA courses where they can enjoy the thrill and challenge of windsurfing and sailing. It is a wonderful way for them to become water confident and learn a new skill and, perhaps, eventually become watersports instructors themselves. Stand Up Paddleboarding can be included as an activity for older children.
We offer a variety of programmes ranging from 2 hour taster sessions to full days on the water. Children can experience a combination of sports including Windsurfing, Dinghy Sailing, Paddle Boarding & Kayaking. The choice is yours and sessions are tailor made to fit your requirements.
Alongside our multi activity days we can also offer multi day RYA Courses in both Dinghy Sailing & Windsurfing. This means children can gain their internationally accredited RYA Stage 1 &/or Stage 2 in a chosen sport.
All activities can count towards attainment targets in the Outdoor and Adventurous Activities area of Key Stages 2 to 4.
We are passionate about introducing young people to watersports. It can build confidence, resilience and independence in children with all the benefits of spending time outdoors which improves physical health and mental wellbeing.

There is a safe decking area to wait for busses to arrive.
