The Channel Islands and the adjacent French coast offer a challenging and diverse sailing environment, with strong tidal streams, varied weather conditions, and a mix of open sea and coastal navigation.
The location provides real-world experience in tidal planning, navigation, and seamanship.
RYA-Accredited Training Centre
Royal Yachting Association (RYA) certification is internationally recognised and highly respected.
Stowaway Sailing follows the most up to date RYA syllabus, including digital first, ensuring high-quality instruction for all levels, from beginners to experienced sailors.
Stowaway Sailing has RYA-certified instructors with vast experience in both teaching and real-world sailing and yacht racing. Darren, our highly experienced chief instructor, has sailed all over the world.
Training is hands-on and tailored to individual learning styles. We keep our group small in order to ensure every participant gets plenty of time at the wheel and 1 to 1 tuition from our instructor. This also allows a comfortable stay for our liveaboard courses.
