Children’s Sailing Programmes

Programme Content

– Adventurer
A great start to your child’s sailing adventures, this programme will work towards achieving RYA Stage 1 and 2.
Our goal is to fill children with energy and enthusiasm for sailing, with a focus on having fun and promoting confidence on the water. We will introduce the basic concepts of dinghy sailing and develop some key skills, providing your child with a good baseline for furthering their sailing knowledge.
Once the RYA Stage 2 skills have been achieved your child will be ready to progress onto our Explorer programme.

– Explorer
Focusing on independent sailing and developing your boat-handling skills, this programme will work towards achieving the RYA Stage 3 and 4.
Our aim is to enable your child to get the best out of their boat and to develop key problem solving skills whilst afloat. When possible we will take opportunities to explore the harbour, launching and recovering in different circumstances and getting to grips with new sailing skills.
Once the RYA Stage 4 skills have been achieved your child will be ready to progress onto our Challenger programme.

– Challenger
This programme provides an opportunity for keen sailors to challenge themselves and achieve ultimate independence. Our aim is to challenge your child, encourage fast decision-making and practice some advanced boat handling skills.The programme develops the RYA Racing, Seamanship and Day Sailing skills.

– Free Sail
Free sail days allow your child to get out on the water with safety boat cover to practice their sailing and develop skills and knowledge previously taught on a course. Our instructors will be ensuring they are safe in the harbour at all times whilst they have a great time afloat.

Powerboat

Programme Content

RYA Powerboat Level 1
This RYA Powerboat Level 1 course is a great introduction to powerboating. The course focuses on safety, fun and the general skills needed to handle a powerboat.

RYA Powerboat Level 2
The RYA Powerboat Level Two course is the benchmark course for safe powerboating both in the UK and overseas. At the end of this course you should be a Self-sufficient powerboater in the right conditions, aware of own limitations and those of craft.

Powerboat ICC Test
An International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is needed if you aim to use, hire or charter powerboats abroad. This is all in place to prevent accidents happening and to ensure all boat users are kept safe and well using well organised certification.

RYA Level 2 Direct Assessment
If you feel that you are of RYA Powerboat Level Two standard but have never taken the course you may take this assessment to gain your RYA Powerboat Level Two certificate if successful.

RYA Coastal Endorsement
This course allows you to transfer your RYA Level Two powerboating skills from a non tidal to tidal environment. By the end of the day you should competently handle your powerboat in tidal conditions.

RYA Safety Boat
This course can be taken by those wishing to increase their skills on the water, provide safety cover for other water users and anyone working in the marine industry that needs a safety boat certificate.

Powerboat Instructor
This 4-day course will teach you the various techniques and teaching methods required to instruct the RYA Level 1 and 2 courses.

Own boat tuition
You may have a motorboat or powerboat that you feel you haven’t quite got to know very well. You may simply need some pointers here and there or you may feel you need a number of sessions going through boat handling, navigation and safety. Every boat is different so instruction in your own boat is a really wise move.

Powerboat Experience
Have one of our qualified skippers take guests for an exhilarating jaunt within Blakeney’s beautiful Harbour aboard our RIB.

Stand Up Paddleboards

Stand-up Paddleboards can be hired by the day or half day for use at Morston and Blakeney or can be taken away and used in other areas along the coast.

Our RED Standup Paddle Boards are inflatable and can be deflated for transportation.

This activity requires a good level of fitness, balance and co-ordination.
