Beginner Courses

"Just want to say a big thank you from me and Eric for our very enjoyable week of sailing! Apart from great weather, beautiful scenery and great food, we really learnt a lot from Dave, who was a great and affable coach and managed to stay calm in any stressful situation (not too many of those though:)). The course was very well organised and I also want to thank you for the administrative support leading up to it."

"Thanks so much for a great week. Really enjoyed the week and all the challenges. Luis did an excellent job in passing on skills to a team of rookies. We really hope to return next year.
Thanks again to the Learn to Sail team."

"I just wanted to drop you a line to thank for having us in your course and giving us the most amazing learning experience.
While the course was challenging at times, our Instructor Luis was very friendly, thorough, helpful and professional throughout. We felt lucky to have him as our instructor and I think you should too."

"Was an awesome expirience with my DAY Skipper, 5 days of sun, fun and learning in the confortoble and nice Marina of Portimao. Our instructor Steve was very calm and easygoing with a lot of expirience, was easy to learn from him."

"What an EXCELLENT trip!! Just finished a 5 day RYA Competent Crew sailing course and it was excellent. Mark is a very good and patient teacher and a really nice guy as well!. Starting out as a total novice, there's a lot to learn, but Mark talked us through the theory and practical aspects and made it really enjoyable.
