Coastal Passages
The ultimate in learn to sail opportunities and invaluable for those seeking extended cruising miles to meet higher level course prerequisites.

We love coastal passages, the participants all state its the best thing they have done in their lives, and it is really cool to have shared an adventure with a group of like minded people. While on the passage you will be teamed up into watches, experience night sailing, the challenge of coastal navigation along with all the components of your course syllabus.

This is not a soft adventure, it will involve team work and there will be challenges for all participants. You will however complete the voyage with a great sense of self satisfaction and achievement and with an internationally recognised certificate.

The cost of the course includes all meals, accommodation aboard the vessel, training, safety equipment, course notes, Certificate and linen. What to bring includes a sense of adventure and fun, BYO Drinks, towel, hat, sunscreen, summer clothing with warmer items for evenings and night time watches or clooler climates, footwear, wet weather and or thermal gear suited to the area of the passage, camera and film.
