Quaystage Training

About Quaystage Training

---

We offer water-based adventure holiday camps, sailing courses (RYA qualifications) and DofE programmes. Our Sail Camps are engaging, hands-on experiences where young people discover hidden strengths, build independence and self-believe, and develop social and leadership skills, while learning to sail and being active outdoors. All Sail Camps can be recognised as your Gold DofE residential section.

Join us on board one of our yachts this summer and get ready for an adventure you will never forget!

Take the helm, set the sails, and navigate your boat as you explore the coastline, watch dolphins play in the bow wave of your boat and meet some new amazing friends with whom you’ll create memories to last a lifetime.

You will be living on board our yachts with your small team of fellow adventurers, as well as your Skipper and Mate. Together you will learn how to sail your vessel where you want to go, explore your destinations and learn about your marine environment. Explore first-hand the ocean you are sailing in, discover the wildlife, research the impact of plastic pollution and climate change, and play your part in helping to protect these pristine eco-systems.

In between sails, you will go exploring the coastline on paddle boards and canoes, or challenge each other in watersports competitions. Are you ready to show off your skills at a Paddle Polo match or the Quaystage Water Olympics?

Sailing is a true team sport and making new friends has never been easier. When you are not out at sea chasing the wind, you’ll be exploring new places together, splashing around in the water, star gazing or watching the sun go down at a beach BBQ.

Whether you are an experienced sailor, or an absolute beginner doesn’t matter. Our Sail Camps are for everyone, and our experienced crew will show you everything you need to know and guide you every step of the way. You will have the opportunity to achieve internationally recognized RYA sailing certificates. We are also an Approved Activity Provider for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and all our Sail Camps can count towards the Residential section of your Gold DofE Award.

Can’t get enough of sailing? We also offer sailing DofE expeditions and school programmes for your next class trip!
