Experience is king. Having done several theory and practical courses is fun and a great way to build up your experience.

But wouldn't it be fantastic if you could share this joy with your family?  Quite often the rest of the family lacks this experience and, when sailing with them, they miss out on the fun.  Unexpected movements of the boat, beeping instruments, large ships crossing, and entering busy marinas and locks, can create stress on board. This could turn what should have been a joyful family boat trip into a miserable event with arguing, fear and sometimes even a lasting fear of sailing.  

To avoid this from happening to your family, we have developed a special program.
