How many students can you cater for?

Group size depends on activities – we are able to teach from group sizes of 10-100 students.We can put up to 80 students on yachts and keelboats.   Our Dragon Boating Regattas are frequently held with groups of over 120 people and sometimes as many as 200.

What age range do you provide activity for?

Students from 11 - 18 may participate in most of our activities. Bespoke Outdoor Education Packages are ideal for most International School Groups. We work with you and recommend the activities that suit you best.

Does everyone have to be able to swim?

No, we ensure that students who can’t swim are gently introduced to the Buoyancy Aid and that all students must wear whenever they are on water. We also make sure we know who is a non-swimmer prior to going on the water, and we ask teachers and our instructors to be mindful of these students throughout the activities.

Can beginners be included in sailing and the other adventure activities?

Yes, beginners are the majority of our customers! Our experience allows us to put together fun programmes or ISSA certified courses that skill up the students and teach them the basics, so they can enjoy their new sport.

Some teachers may want to be involved too, is this possible?

Yes, we are delighted to have teachers join in and this always goes down well with the students too.  We recommend that your school sends their teachers to us for a weekend prior to any school trip, so that they are one step ahead of their students and can take an active part in the teaching and learning process. Please see our Leader Pre-Visits page for further details.

Do you offer teachers INSET prior to participating in Sail Training courses or Adventure Activity weeks?

Yes, we are keen to train teachers and we recommend that your school sends their teachers to us (at 50% discounts) for an INSET prior to a school trip. IYT Certification is also available.

Do you have set Adventure Programs as well as flexible Bespoke Programs?

Do you help Schools with Risk Assessments?

Yes, we do.
