Practical Courses
All practical courses are run aboard a Baltic 37. The yacht was built by one of the worlds top quality builders and is maintained to the highest standard. To ensure that you get the most from your time afloat with us, we have a maximum of four students. Your full time skipper/instructor has over 200,000 nautical miles of sailing experience. All meals on board are prepared by the skipper/instructor.

Our practical courses start from our base at Suffolk Yacht Harbour (SYH), Levington, Nr Ipswich, IP10 0LN. If you choose to partake in one of our mile building cruises we always arrange crew changes at locations that have good public transport services.
