which type of boating is RIGHT for you?
Cruising takes place on yachts, where crew numbers range from 4-8+ people. Our cruising yachts are both around 44ft long, which is perfect for heading further afield and overnight stays. Cruising is generally relaxed and rather social, whereas the racing will test your teamwork skills!
DINGHY
Dinghies are small sailing vessels, which typically have only 1 to 3 people on board, and normally aren’t longer than 5m. As the boats are small, they react quickly. Normal sailing is close to the club, either going for a pleasure sail or competing in very close racing.
CRUISING
Cruising takes place on yachts, where crew numbers range from 4-8+ people. Our cruising yachts range from 34ft to 44ft, which is perfect for heading further afield and overnight stays. Cruising is generally relaxed and rather social, whereas the racing will test your teamwork skills!
POWERBOAT
A valuable asset to any sailing centre, powerboat courses train you to drive a powerboat safely. The primary use is for support on training and racing, although the qualification is recognised around the world, allowing you to rent powerboats.
WINGFOIL
Wingfoiling is a relatively new sport that has taken the world by storm. It’s designed to make use of light winds, by using an inflatable wind and a foil, which combined allows the board to take off and fly at high speed. The sport is now a common sight along the shores of Dubai.
THEORY
Background knowledge is key to being a successful sailor, and the theory courses are designed to support your progression within your chosen discipline. These courses also cover safety aspects to help you deal with incidents on the water.
