Fees
Schools Programme
- Sailing is free for students in group classes who attend a state school.
- A fee of EC$350 per term for 10 classes is applicable for children attending lessons from a private school.
- Morning group sessions on Saturday are free for all children from all schools.
RYA Lessons
RYA stands for Royal Yachting Association and is an Internationally recognised qualification. RYA classes tend to be in smaller groups and more intensive so students will learn faster. Once they have achieved the required skills they will be given a certificate. We teach Levels 1,2,3, Sailing with Spinnakers and Seamanship skills.
- Saturday group class is EC$475 for a total of 16 hours of sailing which will take place at 2pm for 2 hours weekly.
- Individual RYA Courses are EC$675 for a total of 16 hours of sailing which generally take place over 2 full days or 4 half days.
Please register your child below to take part. Children do not need to swim but they need water confidence. We will ensure before they are given sailing lessons that their water confidence is at the required level to ensure their safety. They will be given a life jacket to wear at all times when on the water.
