Sail Training
Competent Crew/Day Skipper/Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Preparation/Mile Building.
Howellsail provides Instructor services to some of the leading RYA Sea Schools in the UK and Mediterranean.

All RYA offshore sailing courses are run through our association with these sea schools. Our knowledge and contacts ensures that we utilise only what we consider are the best schools with well-maintained yachts and facilities. Booking your course through us ensures you obtain that quality and value for money, including first class and up to date instruction. If you are considering a RYA course by all means give us a call, if only for advice. We are always happy to discuss sailing with you!
Own Boat Tuition
We conduct own boat tuition throughout the world.
This can often be the most economical way to complete any RYA course or training to suit your own particular needs. The advantages are that you can learn at a time to suit yourself, at your own pace, and at the same time get used to the handling of your own yacht, without the added pressures of being on a standard course. We charge a standard daily rate, so you can often involve family and friends together if you wish. Please contact us with your requirements and we will happily provide you with a quote and details of references.
