UK RYA Course Centre

UK RYA Course Centre Contact Us

Our RYA Training Centre in the UK is based at Shamrock Quay in Southampton, which is a perfect location for easy access to the Solent. The Solent provides some of the best cruising grounds in the World to learn to sail.

The Solent boasts numerous small harbours, including Cowes, the Mecca of British yachting. In addition there are many secluded anchorages, nature reserves and interesting places to explore, like the spectacular Needles Lighthouse.

With fast tides, tricky pilotage and an abundance of places to visit in a small area, the Solent is perfect for you to develop your sailing skills. Whether you are new to sailing and are interested in our RYA Competent Crew course or want to prepare yourself for the RYA Yachtmaster exam you will not be disappointed with what the Solent has to offer.

The only thing we cannot guarantee is the weather! If sunshine and warmer climates are important to you may want to consider our RYA Training Centre in Gibraltar!
