RYA Training Centre & Sailing School

Sailing and Power Boating Lessons and Courses for Children and Adults

We offer RYA courses whereby we follow the RYA syllabus, as well as our own bespoke In-House courses to maximise your potential to learn new skills and enjoy new experiences.

Our courses are 4 and 5 days long, we can also tailor our courses to suit your availability and experience. As well as courses we offer a variety of lessons, which follow the RYA syllabus but in a more relaxed manner, this is the best way to practice newly learnt skills whilst having fun with friends.

Our group sailing courses are for all ages starting at 7, we offer taster lessons for younger children.

Start Sailing

We offer taster sessions on our Norfolk Oysters. These are stable and dry boats which provide a gentle introduction to sailing. During this time, we give you the opportunity to take the helm, learn the ropes and see if it’s something for you. Children can join group lessons from 7 years old.

Harbour Familiarisation

Burnham Overy Staithe harbour can be a tricky place at the best of times. The sandbanks are constantly shifting making navigation tricky. Why not allow us to take you out for a familiarisation session. In this two hour trip we will show you the harbour, including the best places to anchor, engine tips and much more.

Own Boat Tuition

We offer own boat tuition along the North Norfolk coast. Our instructors are highly experienced sailors who can help show you the ropes on your own boat and help build your confidence. We can also do smaller tasks such as helping you rig.

2 Day Getting a Float Course

An in-house course created by us for people that are new to boating or looking to buy a boat. The course is a combination of Sailing & Power boating, providing taster sessions in a variety of different displacement planing crafts (Oyster, Pico, double handed Topaz Argo). A perfect opportunity for a group of up to 4 people to get together to learn the basics.
