Family courses

Overview

Sunsail actively promotes and encourages families to develop their sailing skills together and offers a wide range of courses designed for family groups.

Children between the ages of eight and 18 can join their parents on Sunsail one-day taster, RYA Start Yachting and RYA five-day Competent Crew courses at Port Solent base, while 16 to 18-year-olds can join any of Sunsail’s courses worldwide, as long as they are accompanied by an adult. 17-year-olds can qualify as a Coastal Skipper, but only if accompanied by an adult.

Family sailing courses are run all year round, but half terms and school holidays tend to book up early.
