The Crouch Sailing School

Welcome to the Crouch Sailing School where you will find courses designed by the Royal Yachting Association at real value for money prices. We offer training for the full range of RYA certificates of competence:

  • Start Yachting
  • Competent Crew
  • Day Skipper
  • Coastal Skipper
  • Yachtmaster
  • Power Boat Level 2

Sailing from the Essex port of Burnham to ports on the East Coast of England and sometimes to Holland and France, we have the ideal location for a sailing school with safe sheltered waters in the river Crouch plus some of the UK's most interesting and challenging coastal sailing.

Prevailing offshore winds keep the sea state flat and we even have the UK's lowest rainfall.
