Sail Training
Whether you’re a landlubber or seasoned sailor, these courses are a great way to get out on the water with women of all ages and who share an interest in sailing. Under the instruction of a professional Sunsail female instructor, obtain the RYA Competent Crew, RYA Day Skipper or RYA Coastal Skipper qualifications.
Why choose Sunsail Magenta Sail Training?
Participating in a Sail Training course provides the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of sailing legends and record breakers Dee Caffari MBE and Helena Lucas. You’ll learn from an experienced RYA female instructor and gain your RYA Competent Crew or RYA Day Skipper qualifications. While completing certifications over five days in the company of other passionate women, you’ll make new friends within this incredible sport and have time to take a group of your own friends out on the water.
What your qualification gets you
Gaining an RYA Day Skipper qualification allows you to see the world’s most beautiful destinations by boat. Many of our RYA instructors and skippers around the world are women who have successfully sailed their way up through the RYA syllabus. Some have sailed since childhood while others began their journey in the sport from scratch as an adult completing an RYA course.
