British Offshore Sailing School – Residential Teen Yachting Courses & Expeditions – Hamble, Southampton

Learn to sail in the Solent, on liveaboard cruising yachts. Gain a recognised RYA qualification, meet new people and enjoy the fun of being on the water

A yachting expedition is suitable for both complete beginners and experienced sailors alike. During the training, you will learn the skills required to sail a yacht. As part of our expedition package, you will be taught the basics of navigation and pilotage with our online Essential Navigation course. This enables every member of the group to be involved with the planning and decision making onboard.

Whilst on the practice and assessed expeditions, you will actively take part in all aspects of life onboard. Each night is spent in a different harbour or anchorage, so you can experience what cruising is all about!

Enjoy the freedom of completing an expedition without the need to carry a heavy back pack or put tents up! Onboard is a fully equipped galley for cooking proper meals, as well as a flushing toilet and everyone is allocated their own bunk. No need to pack your kit away every morning and you can even bring a pillow!

Options for expedition goals are endless and as well as working as a team, you will be encouraged to set smaller individual goals. Come and challenge yourself, what are you waiting for!
