The Yachts
For our RYA courses we use comfortable and modern cruising yachts ranging from 37 - 38 feet. All the yachts are meticulously maintained, well equipped for the RYA cruising courses and are a pleasure to sail.
We have carefully selected the yachts that we use for the RYA courses to provide a good mix of comfort, performance, manoeuvrability and accommodation. Sailing is intended to be fun and the yacht that you sail on will contribute greatly to the experience that you have.
Our RYA sailing yachts are certainly fun to sail whilst proving our student with an excellent and safe stable learning platform. We take great pride in all of our yachts and they are always kept extremely clean and meet the highest commercial safety standards.
Pronavia 38
The Pronavia 38 is the envy of all the sailing schools in Gibraltar. Built in Sweden, it has a modern design with a beautifully hand crafted interior. The hull shape is the same design as our competitive Reflex 38's but the quality of the finish bears no resemblance to the stripped out racing version!
Seawolf, our Pronavia 38 based in Gibraltar, boasts superb sailing performance that is unparalleled by other sailing school yachts. It is easy to sail, very responsive and above all is extremely comfortable, with all the modern equipment that you would expect from a sailing school boat.
Seawolf is also available for skippered charters for either a weekend or longer trips. Please contact us for more information.
Jeanneau 37
The Jeanneau 37 is a comfortable and simple yacht to sail. She is relatively quick, very responsive and an absolute pleasure to sail, making her the ideal choice for our Solent RYA school boat for both beginners and the more experienced.
All our yachts are fully fitted out with electronic navigations equipment and safety equipment maintaining the best standards for commercial vessels. Whilst the Jeanneau 37 can sleep 8 people in three double cabins and the saloon we have a maximum student to skipper ratio of 5:1.
