Since 2003 our well established Sailing Academy offers a range of classes from Learn to Sail through to Learn to Race, in both Dinghies and small Keelboats.

In August 2011 we start a Paddling Academy as well. The Paddling Academy has been developed to teach13-17 year olds to paddle. Taught on surf skis by professional paddling coaches, our Paddling Academy is safe and a fun way to introduce teenagers to the sport of paddling.
