RYA Classroom Courses at Chatham, Kent

RYA Classroom courses are a vital complement to the practical courses and we pay the same careful attention to this as to our instruction at sea. Our shore based course instructors are qualified and experienced RYA/MCA Yachtmasters and they are also current practical sailing instructors. We make subjects relevant, interesting and fun to study.

RYA Theory courses in Kent are held aboard our historic Dutch Sailing Klipper 'Maaike Maria' at our marina base at Chatham on the Medway in Kent. This splendid vessel houses our office, reception and a spacious main saloon which has been beautifully converted into a comfortable meeting room and classroom. It is a perfect location for a marine training centre. There are restaurants and shops next door, ample free car parking, and you are right in the marina with the yachts alongside. Chatham Historic Dockyard with its outstanding displays of naval shipbuilding and its key role in Britain's history is a short walk away.
