Day Skipper theory and Yachtmaster theory run from Saturday to Wednesday/ Thursday (4 - 5 days). Competent crew, Day Skipper and Yachtmaster practical courses start from Wednesday through to Sunday (5 days) or you can choose to take the course over 3 weekends (6 days) Friday evening to Sunday afternoon (subject to availability).
Each practical sailing course fee includes: accommodation on board, breakfast and lunch (evening meals are not included as we have found people prefer to eat out in the evening and to enjoy the local eating establishments) , mooring fees, fuel and free use of wet weather gear.
All courses fees quoted are inclusive of VAT.
Sailing courses held in the Algarve are subject to a £75 supplement and do not include the evening meal as experience has shown people prefer to eat out. However, should you wish to eat on board you are welcome to contribute.
You will need to organise your own flights - the earlier you book them the cheaper they tend to be. We'll get you to and from Faro airport..
