We think the first requirement of learning to sail should be enjoyment.
Most people’s pleasure is heightened by good weather and attractive scenery. This makes the Greek islands an ideal destination for your first adventures afloat.
Greece has many areas that are suitable for novice sailors with calm waters and welcoming harbours within short distances from each other.
The waters are non-tidal so novice skippers have one less variable to worry about when starting to navigate and handle the yacht.
There are several schools that offer sailing courses or learn to sail holidays in English using the RYA or ASA syllabus.
Aegean Sailing School
Aegean Sailing School is an RYA recognised sailing school in the Saronic Gulf, based on the island of Aegina. Aegina is easily accessible from Athens airport so you can add on a day or two to explore the city before or after your sailing course.
The school offers the full range of RYA practical sailing and powerboat courses. They also run theory courses in navigation, marine radio, and diesel engine maintenance. Their main season runs from March to November but tuition can be arranged throughtout the year upon request.
Corfu Sea School
Corfu Sea School is an RYA recognised sailing school based in Gouvia Marina, Corfu.
The school offers Start Yachting, Competent Crew, RYA Day Skipper, and RYA Coastal Skipper courses (non-tidal), also RYA shore-based courses.
