Just Sailing was Incredible!

Just Sailing was incredible. The entire experience was seamless, from initial contact to departing the boat. The most important part of the course, the instructor Ian, was amazing. He has an extensive resume that puts him at ease in all conditions. This confidence allows him to give students enough autonomy to gain the confidence for all the skills they need. Ian’s extensive experience and skills allows him to also push students’ theory base. Also, the boat, a 45 foot Bavaria, is in pristine condition. It’s also confidence-inspiring to sail on such a large yacht. Finally, the location is absolutely amazing…this isn’t just a sailing course but a sailing vacation you will always remember. I cannot endorse Just Sailing enough for booking a sailing course. Bring your family as well!

Exemplary. I felt I’d been instructed by ‘the best in the business’. Could not be faulted.

We certainly had a wonderful time.

We’ve certainly had a wonderful time. The vibe onboard was very relaxed and we all enjoyed the whole experience so much. Great job done organising everything from the first contact online down to our picture moment with certificate in hand! We felt very well taken care of and there was a good balance between sailing practice and having time to unwind as a family. Learning a new skill in a beautiful holiday setting really is a fantastic combination! Aug 2020

I loved Santa Margherita

Ian has been the best instructor whom we all felt comfortable with from the start. Finn said: The moment he started to talk, I knew I liked him haha. Thanks again to Ian for being such easygoing and fun company and for spoiling us with all the lovely meals, everything was equally delicious! Eating on board in the evening while looking at the lights on shore was special, I loved S. Margherita!  Aug 2020.

Safe and fun program for our family

Ian and the team provided a safe and fun program for our family resulting in RYA Day Skipper, Competent Crew, and Start Yachting certificates. Ian balances learning, play, and touring to make sure all members of our family had fun. We highly recommend Just Sailing for those that are looking to enter into the world of sailing while wanting to explore a fantastic Mediterranean location!  Aug 2020
