Fun afloat on our Teenage Cruiser Courses!

Come sailing with us on the yacht "Holy Grounder" – Beneteau

Sailcork specialises in training teenagers (13-17 years) on Yachts to become Competent Crew members.   We schedule courses during school term, school breaks and holidays.  It is ideal for giving bored teenagers an activity whereby they learn a new life-long skill. They become useful and interested in the family or friend’s boat and become an asset onboard. Who knows,  it may be the beginning of a new career ! What better way to learn the ropes, than from Eddie English who is teaching sailing to students ages 3 to 85  for the last 40 years.

SailCork’s Teenage Sailing Cruises are a great mix of sailing instruction and other, fun activities designed to keep teenagers busy and entertained.

Cruises are all-inclusive of food and are suitable for teenagers aged between 13 and 17. Over the course of the week, students can work towards their ISA Competent Crew qualification.

Accommodation is on board for the duration of the course and is mixed, with boys and girls in separate cabins and of course the instructor also sleeps on board. 

All SailCork instructors are RYA/ISA qualified and are well used to dealing with teenagers.
