Learn to sail in the Strait of Gibraltar where we enjoy excellent sailing conditions all year round. We have been sailing these waters for 24 years; so from experience we can make your RYA course a great success. Our professional Instructors and shorebased crew go that extra mile to ensure your sailing course and travel is rewarding. We offer RYA courses on new school yachts and on a private charter basis.

Special Offer 28th July - £450 per person for 6 day RYA course.

The complete R.Y.A. syllabus (from Competent Crew, Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper right through to Yachtmaster) is taught on new 36 to 47 foot yachts, which are a delight to sail in both light winds and challenging seas. They also provide superb accommodation where we serve homemade meals with wine after a full days sailing.

The Gibraltar Bay and it's dolphins make a fun outdoor classroom for your first days RYA sailing exercises. While Competent Crew students learn the basics of hands-on sailing, the Day Skipper and Coastal Skippers learn to take command of the boat and practice tidal-navigation under the supervision of the Instructor.

With an exciting Straits sailing to Morocco in North Africa and both the Costa la Luz and Costa del Sol in Spain to explore, it really is a ‘cocktail’ of fascinating cultures. It is here, between two mountain ranges that the Mediterranean merges with the Atlantic, giving Andalucia two strikingly different coasts. From the cosmoplitan marinas of Sotogrande and Marbella to the East, to the windswept beaches of Tarifa and natural coast to the West.

On the Yachtmaster fast track course you could venture South to Tenerife and the Canary Islands and Cape Verde islands, West to the Algarve, Portugal or North East into the Mediterranean to Majorca and the Costa Brava. At Trafalgar Sailing Barcelona, you can do your non-tidal training along the stunning and rugged coastline of the Costa Brava.

Gibraltar is easy to fly to with Easyjet, BA and Monarch airlines all flying direct form London.

The success of Trafalgar sailing is thanks to our Instructors and the many students that have spread the word.

Comments from our students.....

"I had a really great time on the sailing course, it was a really nice group and our Instructor was brilliant, very patient and a good laugh! I loved the destinations, especially sailing to Morocco and Tarifa and getting the Spinnaker out was a fantastic experience together with the dolphins playing at the front of the boat. Thank you very much for the organisation, it was all very relaxed and friendly".

The information given on the course was the best that I have received to date on any RYA course. A lot of gaps of knowledge were filled in and the practical tuition was very good. Instructor Jim was professional and friendly and very informative and made sure every one understood what was going on at all times. It was a very safe learning environment.
Food - What can I say, very surprised. First course ever where food has been home cooked. Excellent. To me that kind of special touch makes a difference and sets you apart from the rest.
