Reviews
"My kids started out nervous, but the staff are very welcoming and soon made them feel happy. They had a brilliant week and now love sailing. I felt very happy leaving my kids with the staff very professional and security was tight. I knew they were safe and having a good time. Worth every penny"
"I'd highly recommend SWAC. I have zero experience of being in boats, am in my late 50s, and was quite nervous about doing the 2 day RYA Level 1. The instructor, Jen was excellent...unfailing patient, completely calm even when we capsized it a fair few times. We were taught theory and and tried out boats with 4 of us in, as well as by the 2nd day, we were sailing our own dingys. We're were supplied with everything we needed, from wet suits, spray jackets, etc. There were changing rooms and showers on site. An excellent course, but you do need a decent level of fitness, as you work your legs a lot from constantly changing positions, as well as pulling boats out of the water....we were really knackered at the end of the day! I'd recommend SWAC for their friendly instructors, facilities and variety of crafts."
"Had a very enjoyable 2 days on "Power boat 1 and 2 course. I had no previous experience so was a bit nervous but needn't had worried as the instructor was excellent.."
"Had a really good weekend of level 1 training. The equipment and experience of Abi were great, I learned so much. The content was presented in a way that was easy to digest and we had lots of time on the water to have a play with what was taught. Can't fault the place and the people but would have been nice to have a shower on site."
"Completed my Powerboat level 2 course here. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. All equipment such as waterproofs/life jackets was provided. The RIB we used was about 7m long and with a 200bhp outboard it had more than enough poke. There were 3 of us on the course which allowed everyone to get a lot of time driving and with such a small group the instructor could really focus on each aspect of what we needed to learn so nothing felt rushed. Overall a really enjoyable experience."
