We supplement the RYA courses with our own masterclasses and experience builders. Using this combination of complementary theoretical and practical training modules, we are able to coach professional and leisure skippers and crew members all the way from their first experience on a yacht to become a confident skilled master of yachts.
Practical and theory courses in Zeeland, Nieuwpoort and near Brussels
We are lucky to have the Oosterschelde estuary and the nearby Belgian coast as our sailing area. It is a beautiful and exciting tidal sailing area.
Our base in Nieuwpoort has direct access to open sea for offshore sailing to England, France or to acquire your RYA certificates while exploring the Belgian coast.
Our base at the more sheltered Oosterschelde estuary in Zeeland is positioned in the heart of a nature reserve with ample sealife, and is without doubt one of the best training areas for sailing, motor cruising and powerboat training in Europe.
Our theory classroom courses are available in Zeeland and at our training location near Brussels.
.... NOT TO BE MISSED ....
RYA Yachtmaster Exams
Available in July and August 2025
We provide the Yachtmaster prep-course for small groups to make sure that you get lots of coaching from our chief instructors and obtain the best learning results.
Exams for Yachtmaster Power and Yachtmaster Sail are organised in Nieuwpoort and in Zeeland throughout almost the whole year
Want to know if yachting is your thing?
A Start Yachting introduction course is the perfect activity for a special occasion or maybe just a fun weekend out on the water. Come on board of one of our yachts and get an introduction to boat handling under sail or power. You will be involved in steering, trimming, navigation and rope work. We can have lunch on the water or in one of the nice harbours in our area.
At the end of this Start Yachting course, you'll sure be caught by the yachting bug, and we can discuss with you how you can further develop your skills and turn this new experience into an exciting hobby.
Join us on one of our C-MASTERS yachts for a weekend on the beautiful waters of Zeeland or along the Belgian coast. Just send us an enquiry, and we'll make your introduction course a great start of your yachting passion.
