From booking to joining etc was easy and seemless, the boat clean, comfy and well stocked. Natalie, our instuctor is an utter professional who it was a privelige to spend a week with and learn from. Nestled amongst the learning are some special moments – from the night sailing to swimming in clear waters off the back of the boat. Thanks all

A truely fantastic course. Clive is an excellent trainer.

Clive’s 20 years experience was invaluable for explaining and demontrating key principles and tips for safe and enjoyable sailing.

I had lmite sailing experience other than passenger before the course, so I was nervous. Ales assured me it would be ok and the experience exceeded all expectations. I learned so much during this week and feel confident now in heading home and finding a fun crew experience! Thanks so much to Clive for his exceptional instruction. He was a remarkable teacher.

Fantastic experience, would book again.

Best environment to learn and sail, big thanks to Mike.

Ask for mike! You can’t fail.

This is a brilliantly organised and taught course in beautiful settings. The learning curve is steep, but I went from barely zero knowledge to feeling comfortable crewing the boat within the week.

All round fabulous learning and holiday experience. I gained more knowledge, hands-on experience and confidence than I thought possible in one week.

The teaching experience was 1st class, well timed, adapted to conditions and enough repetition to ensure confidence was achieved. Clive was simply an outstanding Instructor.

I had the best time – left feeling well equipped to day skipper a yahct, exhilerated and so pleased with the three weeks.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my two weeks on the boat – the learning was quite intencse but with enough humour and repetition to make it fun!

My introduction to sailing has been absolutely amazing. The boat Veronica is spacious, with comfy beds and plenty of space to relax after sailing all day. My Competent Crew Instructor Mark was great. Really patient and made learning all the skills really fun. I will definitely be coming back to my next course.

Fantastic as always, see you again for Coastal Skipper.

Brilliant! I’ve had a great time considering I had no knowledge of boats! Really jolly time!

Fantastic!!! Thank you!

A great sailing experience with friendly and efficient staff, on an excellent and comfortable boat with first instruction throughout. We had a great week overall starting with our welcome evening prior to the course and this continued through the whole week. Our boat was very well-equipped and appointed and the food and drink provided plentiful. Our Instructor Mark was excellent throughout, very knowledgeable and yet also very welcoming and friendly, he certainly taught us a great deal, plus we had some good fun and meals out as well as the excellent sailing experience. Well done everyone at Sail the Canaries for a great week!

Very helpful for booking. Really enjoyed the week, Tim is very helpful and patient – thanks.

Brilliant Instructor and course! Very happy!

I am a total novice to sailing and had no real interest in the subject, having just come along with the family. However, our Instructor ensured that I was involved and engaged through the course leaving me enthused.

If you are thinking of doing a Competent Crew course then Sail the Canaries is a very professional outfit with a very personal touch.

Excellent, very knowledgeable Instructor with an easy to understand delivery. Also a very nice person.

Clive is the Yachtmaster’s Yachtmaster!

Fantastic experience and lots of fun! Clive is very patient and Alex very helpful when booking.

Sail the Canaries was a brilliant experience. I feel ready to sail and really enjoyed the experience. Tim was an excellent (& patient) Instructor – the lunch time swim was great!

Really enjoyable course, ticked all of the boxes. Instructor was very knowledgeable and always keen to explain and demonstrate.

Fantastic People! Fantastic places! Fantastic sailing!

Spent a great week with the family learning lots about sailing and having fun in a safe environment. Clive managed to get the best out of you and was a calming influence when the unexpected happened. Gave you confidence to acheive.

Fun, friendly sailing at a fantastic sailing venue. Good winds, sunshine and an excellent Instructor – we will be back!

Alex & Clive run a great school and go above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and valued as a client all while delivering a professional experience, based on increasing knowledge and confidence in a safe and fun environment.

A great experience – excellent instruction, great accommodation and all very well organised – thank you!

Bob (Man overboard) survived!!!

Change the tacking command to “Tacho”!! We felt sorry for Bob (the MOB!)

Thrown in at the deep end…….and I swam!!! Great fun!

Alex and Clive go the extra mile to make your experience the best possible.

Of all the sailing training I have received to date, this stands out for the care taken to ensure I learned what I needed to know.

Great weather, skilled and calm Instructor, great experience all round.

Far outweighed my expectations, it was a brilliant week.

The course was everything I had hoped for and more. Our Instructor Richard was patient and really knowledgeable. It was a fun-packed and educational week. I am thrilled!

Amazing from start to finish – get’s better on every visit!

Learnt lots and lots more to learn!

Super sailing made easy.

There is no better way or for greater value, to spend a week in the sunshine, learning how to sail from experts.

Sail the Canaries have played an important part in Captain Calamities five year Yachtmaster Fast Track programme!

Had a great week, good Instructor and Crew, had lots of fun too! Only down side is that the week went too quick!

Not just sail training but a holiday too!

What a great week!

As a complete novice sailor, I had 100% confidence in my Instructor!

If you want to learn to sail and have a great time doing so, book with Sail the Canaries. It has been a great experience and I have learnt so much.

Personal attention, Professional, Confidence building. Social learning by relaxing fun.

Jane sailed us around with aplomb! Seriously, she is the Best.

University of Sailing!

I was given the tools to do the job safely and with enjoyment, moreover, I was inspired to take my sailing to another level.

She’s sleek and fun and a little bit racey! You’ll love her, come and try!

If you want an RYA certification in the Canaries this company does what it says on the tin!

Superb family holiday that keeps everyone active and involved.

One of the best holidays I’ve ever had!!!

I got a huge scare on a yacht last year but thanks to Roger’s excellent tutorage, I am feeling much more confident about getting back on a boat again.

Sailing made simple!

Brilliant instruction and first class people! If Carlsberg did sailing schools!!

All the family said it was the best experience they ever had. Roger was a brilliant Instructor and we had a good balance of learning and fun.

Roger is a great bloke!

Come Sail Away!

Good service by friendly staff.

The time on the boat was perfect and fun. The time away from the boat was also fantastic, so it felt like a holiday as well as a course.

We’ll be sliding in a cheeky little tack……….Lee Hoooooo!

Clear, patient instruction and lots of fun too!

We had an excellent experience with Sail the Canaries, from start to finish. A big thank you to Roger for an amazing week.

Friendly, personable, welcoming & expert – great week! Thanks Sail the Canaries!

We have had an excellent week. Johnny was great at building our confidence, focusing on what was needed, as well as being really relaxed and fun.

Started off as crew mates, finished as life long friends.

Even if you’re not thinking of progressing any RYA certification, it’s a great adventure and makes you safer on a yacht.

Very friendly, experienced, patient tutor.

I attended the Day Skipper Plus course and found it excellent for filling gaps and as a taster for Coastal Skipper, as many of those skills were practised.

Great experience with expert, friendly instruction. Highly recommended.

From an anxious novice at the start of the week, my confidence grew over the week. Clive is an excellent Instructor who gives clear direction, instilling implicit trust. Thank you.

Flappy sails are unhappy sails!!! It’s one of the best experiences! :o)

Perfect family holiday! Thank you! :o)

Fantastic family holiday.

Great course for a active families that want to learn a great new skill.

Thanks to you guys, I can now sail away from my problems instead of running from them.

Overcame fear of boats and can now make tea in extreme conditions!! Looking forward to sailing again – thank you!

Great course for family team building.

We thought the dolphins were very good – quite happy actually! Very impressed at how they turned up on time!!!

Great instruction and Great service!

Great tuition on a brilliant, well stocked, comfortable yacht. Far exceeded my expectations.

A truly bespoke week that accommodated all of our needs and an excellent introduction to sailing. I feel much more confident!

Blown away by the whole experience!

The whole process from admin at the start to completion of the course was extremely well prepared and delivered. Clive has the knowledge of a professor and the patience of a Saint. He somehow managed to tailor the course and style to four quite different people, with different expectations, and make each one feel they got value and what they wanted.

Lovely people and great sailing.

Superbly capable and knowledgeable Instructor – worked us all to our individual capabilities. Thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable week.

A fantastic family bonding experience. I would recommend the course to any family looking for adventure.

A brilliant way for a family to be together and achieve together.

Did we like Captain Johnny?!?! Arrrrrpp!!!

Most exhilarating holiday ever and very welcoming.

First course where I actually learned to handle a boat.

Really enjoyed this, I’m not lying, this was one of the best experiences of my life!

My main aim was to build confidence to make independent decisions – mission accomplished!!! Thanks Johnny!

The whole week was just super. Clive imparts knowledge and explains everything so clearly! Just great! Thank you.

If you want to understand what you’re doing on a boat, spend a week with Sail the Canaries. Fantastic Instructors!

Wonderful time! Thank you!

I have left the course confident in my ability to handle a yacht as a Day Skipper, glad that I also had a good holiday and with a nice insight into what chartering a yacht is all about.

Excellent week of sailing in the sun with professional and friendly Instructor. Roger is a real asset to Sail the Canaries. He has an excellent Instructional manner and created a relaxed but professional atmosphere which helped us all learn.

Roger was a fantastic Instructor and the whole course was excellent. The boat was exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Our third course with Clive and as normal, a great course and great fun!

My second course and just as great as the first! Would recommend to anyone, Clive’s instruction is second to none.

Look at that container Lorry over there!!!!

Pleasure to sail, our Instructor was fantastic, we will look to book again!

Cool sailing in a warm location with friendly staff.

Fantastic weeks sailing with a great Instructor.

So friendly – we loved it! We will come again.

First rate tuition in an ideal location.

Great people, great sailing, look no further!

Sail the Canaries is a really friendly, relaxed company, backed up by experienced, skilled sailing professionals.

If you are seeking a genuine crew sailing experience, look no further.

I had no crewing experience at all and was very apprehensive before the courses started. I didn’t need to worry as the Instructor was excellent, the whole team at Sail at the Canaries were welcoming and my crew mates were good fun. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn to sail and have fun at the same time.

Great people, great overall experience.

A great course- well balanced and adjusted to cater for all levels within the group.

Our course, instruction, boat and sailing exceeded my expectation in every way, we will be back.

Fantastic experience!

Thoroughly professional with a lot of fun thrown in!

A totally different holiday experience! Massive thanks to everyone!

A great way to learn to be competent crew by living on the boat. Tutor was excellent.

I didn’t even notice I was learning anything – I just had a great time and came home knowing how to sail!

I thoroughly enjoyed my weeks sailing. Johnny was an excellent and patient Instructor. Wonderful sailing conditions and the daily swim somewhere nice was a highlight, as was the night sail.

Great yacht, well experienced and fun skipper, absolutely magnificent week!!

Excellent experience! Never been sailing before but now I will join my husband whilst he’s sailing!

Perfect balance between learning and fun sailing.

Great sailing, great wind, great instruction.

“To me, that’s the front!!!!”….Just an overall excellent and fun experience.

The Ocean sailing experience and you can tie-up at night for a good restaurant meal!

A fabulous week with some great people. I always felt totally safe.

Johnny Dale!! Words fail me……but they would all be good!

Amazing week of sailing, learning and socialising.

A fabulous way to learn whilst enjoying the sailing experience.

Literally the best sailing experience and training in the Canary Islands.

What a fantastic week with a great Instructor (Jane). This is my fourth week here and I’ll be back again for sure!

Thank you for such an amazing week. Learned loads and had a good laugh with Crew and Skipper! (Yeah baby!)

The Best activity holiday course!

I thoroughly enjoyed my week with Sail the Canaries. As a nervous sailor, I felt very confident in my Instructors abilities and this encouraged me to have a go at things that I wouldn’t normally do.

The week was everything I had hoped for and more. There can be no better place to learn.

We had a great time and loved every minute. I learnt a lot by putting the theory in to practise. I would recommend Sail the Canaries to anyone.

I can’t imagine how the overall experience could be beaten/improved.

Learnt so much, excellent Instructor, lots of fun! A great experience all round – thoroughly recommend.

Our Instructor seemed to have infinite patience!

Super trip. Fun and educational. Clive was extremely patient, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you!

Very professional.

This is a very professional company.

Missing Veronica already!

From the start, you are treated like a friend by Alex & Clive. Your Instructor, Jane in our case, provides clear guidance in a calm and unhurried manner. If you are considering taking an RYA course, I would strongly recommend Sail the Canaries.

A fabulous week for all our differing abilities. Jane encouraged all of us to find confidence on board with good humour and endless patience. Couldn’t recommend the week highly enough. Clive and Alex and their team made us feel in safe hands from the moment we booked.

Allowed me to have fun, learn and sail the Canaries!

Great experience that can be as intensive / relaxed as you want. Influenced me to join the sailing club at Uni to further my experience.

Extremely professional company. We highly recommend!

Really enjoyable for the whole week. I couldn’t fault it!

Amazing week on a beautiful boat. Alex couldn’t do more for us. Highly recommend.

Both spontaneous and well thought through decision!

The course was amazing. Didn’t know anything about boats before and now I can be crew on one! The personal approach was great. Food & Drinks on board were great! Thanks for meeting us for drinks on the first and last days and helping me arrange transport! I don’t want to go home!

As an experienced Yachtsman, accompanying a relative novice, I was impressed with the professional attitude of our Skipper, Johnny Dale, who explained things before, during and after any event. Knowledgeable, informative and good natured, he made our six days spent sailing a pleasure and a joy. Normally sailing on the South Coast of England – cold, wet and arduous – the Canaries is warm, dry and relatively predictable and that’s in February! Flights are cheap and the course costs no more. The vessel is well equipped, provisioned and skippered, this is how to learn a skill or expand on your knowledge of sailing, while enjoying yourself!

Visiting several marinas and learning lots of skills makes a very satisfying holiday. Paperwork and arrangements are kept to a pleasurable minimum and handled very efficiently by Alex.

Johnny also has amazing hidden talents you couldn’t guess at, but you only find out about, if you book the course!

Our yacht Veronica, is a safe, responsive and sturdy yacht with all of the comforts. As a private individual I would not hesitate to recommend Sail the Canaries. Thank you.

We laughed a lot!

Great sailing, great teaching, great experience.

It was an unforgettable experience. We had some fabulous sailing, great company and lots of laughs. We even saw dolphins!

This has been the best sailing experience we have ever had. Clive has an amazing ability to teach adults and children while all the time making it fun and relevant. We have all learnt so much this week – thank you!

Outstanding tuition in a very friendly environment – will definitely come again.

Great week!

Johnny is awesome!

Johnny was a great Skipper/Entertainer with good banter and would win any Rod Stewart lookalike competition!

Brilliant organisation of course, boat & activities.

Great sailing, nice people.

Great week!!

The course was totally great and exactly met my expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sail the Canaries.

From start to finish my experience with Sail the Canaries was amazing. Alex went above and beyond to arrange my transport from the airport after being completely unorganised and only giving her a few hours notice! Clive was an amazing teaching, easy to understand and was happy to sit down and go over anything and answer any questions. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with them and would definitely recommend them to a friend!

The high standards I expected were exceeded in every area.

You’re never too old to try this!!

Brilliant experience, great fun, Instructor was excellent.

Do it! It’s amazing!

Without doubt one of the best organised and enjoyable practical courses I’ve attended, Clive & Alex made sure all bases were covered from the start to finish and Johnny has to be one of the best Instructors I’ve had, let alone for the sailing! If you’re considering a sailing course, particularly mid-December – look no further.

A fatnastic week, one of the best balances between fun and instruction that you will find. The weather, the location and the Skipper were all amazing.

Brilliant sailing, great skipper and really fun people.

The most fun you can have with your clothes on!

Johnny was a perfect Skipper for training – relaxed, professional, informative and entertaining.

It was my third week here sailing with Sail the Canaries and I’ll definitely be back!!

Just brill! Had a great time and learned as well.

A great experience, we learned a huge amount and had a great holiday.

All round great course, fun, informative sailing in a safe environment with the sun!

Brilliantly relaxed instruction and holiday on a well provisioned, dry & comfortable boat.

Johnny Dale Rocks!!!!

Fantastic! Already booked a return next Spring!

I had a great time, learned lots and did a lot of fun things!

Excellent learning experience – professional yet fun.

We arrived totally unsure what to expect and with no knowledge – we leave full of enjoyment learning and desire to continue sailing. Thank you to Johnny for making this such a skilled based but brilliant fun week. Thanks Captain!

Johnny was fantastic and made learning fun & easy. It has been a great holiday and learning experience.

Good weather, good sailing, learnt a lot in a friendly way.

Good fun & Lots of action! Very friendly & helpful.

Exceptional course, fantastically run by wonderful people.

Yacht extremely & lovingly equipped together with thoughtful & tasty vitualling!

Superb sunshine sailing.

Great fun from start to finish. Very enjoyable and really informative, great boat and instructor – fabulous weather throughout – hope to be here again soon!

Sail the Canaries with Clive!

Sail the Canaries, it is great fun!

Took away many fears. Clive extremely calm and very patient with us all.

With Sail the Canaries we have had the best of both worlds, combining a holiday with two weeks of high quality instruction from Johnny and Jane. Being just the two of us, we had the flexibility to mix theory with practice – a combination that proved successful!! Thank you!

Excellent, confidence inspiring tuition in beautiful surroundings.

Just great fun to learn to sail!

“I will make you confident by the end of the week!”……and you DID!!! Thanks!

Sailing in the windy Canaries is not for the feint hearted! However, the professionalism & competence of the Sail the Canaries team make accomplishing successful sailing goals achievable. Thank you to Alex & Clive but a massive thank you to Jane for a fun, informative week.

Outstanding instruction and amazing sailing gave us a great week of learning and fun.

What an excellent week I’ve just had – learned SO much. All the equipment was in great condition and the environment provided awesome learning conditions in very challenging conditions. Fabbytastic!!!

Some Sailing Schools teach, Clive inspires.

Sail the Canaries ironed out a lot of bad habits and taught me a lot of new skills.

If you want informative instruction mixed with fun, choose this very professional company.

Sail the Canaries, the wind, yes it varies, but you’ll have no cares, for your course in the Canaries!

A wonderful, professionally taught learning curve, that allows achievement beyond aspirations.

Perfect tuition in perfect weather.

Excellent instruction in a really fun atmosphere……I learnt so much!!

Great course, Top Instructors, relaxed and friendly atmosphere – Super!!!

Sunny, Windy and a team full of smiles….! Hard to beat!

Really enjoyable course, the yacht is super comfortable and the Instructor taught every one of us to the level we were. Great!

We learned so much about sailing and combined with the fantastic weather in the Canaries, it gave us a superb winter holiday.

Excellent conveyed tuition with some light-hearted humour but with 100% professionalism. Would thoroughly recommend this school for all ages and abilities.

The instruction was excellent, very calm and patient.

An Excellent way to learn to sail.

Clive is the Buddha of Instructors and Alex is a logistics genius.

My second visit to Sail the Canaries. A pleasure to sail with an Instructor who really loves teaching. Always good humoured and patient.

I felt so relaxed I could have fallen asleep when sailing!!!!

Excellent Course given in a calm and friendly manner. Good fun!

From the initial contact to the end of the course Sail the Canaries met and exceeded expectations.

A thoroughly enjoyable week, able to learn new skills.

Clive and Alex ran a very professional well balance, but challenging and fun course that got the best out of me. They could not have done more to make our week so enjoyable.

Clive’s clear and patient manner was key to making me feel comfortable with the course at all times. I have learnt so much over the week.

Very friendly and professional

Excellent course delivered with humour and commitment.

Awesome course, really informative and really good fun too!

Excellent fun, Excellent Tuition, Excellent Company!

Alex, Clive & Ben were brilliant. The course was even better than expected. Clive balanced an unbalance group perfectly.

Brilliant course, exceeded all my expectations, due to the friendliness of Alex, Clive & Ben and the expert tuition of Clive.

Highly recommend to anyone wanting to take their Day Skipper in the sun! Fantastic tuition, great food, comfortable boat. Many thanks.

I’ve had an amazing time during my Competent Crew course. Clive is a very good instructor – very patient & professional and Alex is so supportive in every phase.

Great course, amazing environment, dedicated instruction.

Thank you both for a brilliant week! Great sailing, great instruction, great company and great weather!

Excellent course that exceeded expectations. Great boat to learn on and excellent tuition.

Excellent service from start to finish. At the beginning of the week I was a very nervous sailor. Throughout the course, Clive instilled the confidence and direction that allowed me to progress, obtain my Day Skipper certification and above all, learn to love sailing again.

Very knowledgeable Instructors. My Instructor Jane in particular was incredible and went above and beyond to help me achieve my goals in terms of theory. I feel very fortunate to have come to Sail the Canaries and had her as an Instructor.

Happy to be back Sailing in the Canaries! Sunshine, great atmosphere, excellent service – the perfect holiday!

Thanks for a wonderful week. Beautiful well found boat whose owners obviously take pride in. Excellent instruction and well structured tuition. Ticks all the boxes!

Sail the Canaries and feel the wind grove and lift!

From the moment I contacted Sail the Canaries I felt supported all the way. The experience exceeded all of my expectations.

An incredible experience, learnt lots and had loads of fun!

First class holiday – great balance between sailing instruction and general enjoyment for all the family.

Brilliant company, Great sailing location – Will come back!

Alex, Clive and Johnny are an excellent team. From booking to training, nothing is too much trouble and they make your experience extremely positive. Thank you. Clive is a patient, knowledgeable trainer and we would recommend him to anyone. This is THE place to learn to sail.

Immaculately equipped and provisioned boat, brilliant Skipper/Instructor and fun sailing in challenging weather. The small size of the organisation enables them to give a personalised service – superb!

Excellent week! Very well organised and professional. The pre-arrival information from Alex was helpful and spot on. The boat was immaculate and well provisioned. Clive is an excellent and patient Instructor. We had an unusual week with very little wind for part of it but Clive still managed to make these very productive and useful days. The sailing area is great, with excellent marinas and good restaurants for the evenings. Highly recommended.

Very good instruction. Clive knew a lot and was a fantastic teacher.

Fabulous course with a great Instructor!

Great for a novice sailor to gain skills, experience and confidence.

If you want to learn to sail, this is the place to come.

At Sail the Canaries you are sure of excellent tuition and sailing to boot!!

Sailing equivalent to the “University of the Third Age” – on water!

Professional instruction with a good balance of humour and fun!

Don’t stop sailing!!!

Brilliant!! Very pleased to have chosen STC! Alex & Clive are very informative and incredibly welcoming. A genuine company! Fantastic instruction from Johnny who clearly has a wealth of experience, which is combined with excellent teaching abilities to build confidence and knowledge. Plus, lots of fun!! Would definitely recommend STC!

Sail the Canaries is a perfect mix of family business and professionalism. Their aim is to ensure that you have the required knowledge and ability to pass your course and go above and beyond what is required by the syllabus and RYA. I would thoroughly recommend this school to anyone wanting to do an RYA Yachting course.

Thought service at all stages was good, friendly and organised. Liked the small operation. Felt safe in the Instructors hands at all times.

Great week. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Learnt loads too!

Enjoy learning to sail in the warm in Winter! Nothing too much trouble for Alex.

A fun way to develop skills in the predictable winds of the Canaries.

Really, really excellent in all areas.

From booking to finish, excellent! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend . Instruction fantastic!

Do this!!!!

Friendly, family run company who offer help and good communication during the booking process and provide excellent instruction during the course.

I really enjoyed the course. Johnny was both incredibly knowledgable and friendly, which was a perfect combination for teaching.

I’ve sailed with a lot of different sailing schools and in terms of the boat, instruction and overall experience, this is the best.

If you have an interest in sailing DO this course! Meet great people, have loads of fun in a fantastic setting.

Excellent course experience in a relaxed and fun RYA way, together with the best of wind environment.

Leeeeeee-HO!!!!! What a fantastic week! I feel much more confident in my sailing skills and knowledge. Clive is a patient and clear instructor who is able to share his sailing knowledge in a fun way. I couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather or hilarious moments!

We’ve had a brilliant week with STC – great sailing, great instruction, great weather and great company! I will be recommending it to all my friends.

I just wanted to write on behalf of Seamus and I to thank Sail the Canaries for a fantastic week away. We had a truly amazing time and learnt loads from Johnny. He managed to strike a fantastic balance of professionalism with fun and we even got to hear him sing! We will definitely use you guys again (hopefully next year) to further our qualifications. You will definitely receive our recommendation. Many thanks again.

Best sailing I’ve ever done!

It’s better than the Bahamas!!!

Absolutely brilliant week! The instructor was top quality, the food was excellent! I would whole heartedly recommend Sail the Canaries to anyone who wants to learn to sail.

I knew absolutely nothing about sailing before the course. I am amazed at how much I have learnt in a few days. Clive has the patience of a saint! I really enjoyed it and now feel that this is something I would do again.

Brilliant way to spend a week with family or friends and a healthy holiday!

Superb course, excellent informative informative instruction delivered in a relaxed manner. Booking, payment and pre-course admin very well handled – thank you.

Great course, excellent Instructor. Very warm welcoming on arrival. Spent each day on a beautiful yacht and learned a lot about sailing.

Johnny Dale is a great Instructor, a credit to Sail the Canaries! He really wants you to be a good boat handler and know the course booked theory. Well done!

Best holiday experience!

Just do it!! It’s great fun!!

Sail the Canaries! It does exactly that!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks spent on board Veronica. We were able to get our Day Skipper’s qualification, whilst the flexibility of the course and Instructor allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday in the Canaries.

Clive is very knowledgeable and a great Instructor. Veronica (yacht) is in an excellent condition. I would recommend Sail the Canaries to others. Thanks for a great week!

Fantastic sailing and brilliant instruction.

Learning to sail with Clive Moreham is a demanding and thoroughly enjoyable experience. He is great company and a superb Instructor, giving one confidence and enthusiasm.

Calm & Exhilarating! Great week all round!

Clive & Alex created an experience that made learning to sail fun, easy and memorable. I’ll be back!!!

Clive is a great teacher – well informed, friendly and unflappable! Great fun!

I have attended a number of practical sailing courses taught by Clive or run under his supervision (RYA Day Skipper, RYA Coastal Skipper, mile-building and just relaxed sailing weeks), and where Alex has handled the business side of things.

Clive is a first class instructor – patient, knowledgeable and a good coach who knows how to get the best from his students. Alex is welcoming and efficient. Both of them are great fun when it comes to socialising ashore and make sure everyone gets included, even if they have come alone.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I went sailing for the first time with Clive and his team about 6 years ago and have returned every year since. He and Alex make the whole trip great fun which means that as well as sailing in good winds and sunshine ( that’s the whole point of going to the Canaries ) and getting excellent tuition it’s also a real holiday

Clive’s laid back but thorough teaching style has given me incredible confidence and made me into a sailor I never thought I’d be.

As a teacher he has a great ability to quickly assess the strengths and weaknesses of his pupils and is therefore able to instruct a boat of mixed ability students without anyone feeling over stretched or under challenged.

I remember some years ago, going out in a particularly big sea with a little apprehension. Within an hour I was stood at the helm, waves crashing over the bow, looking like someone had thrown a bucket of water over me, happily ‘rescuing’ fenders! When Clive suggested we should head for home, I was having such a good time, I was disappointed!!

I have sailed with other schools and they were good, but none compare with the dedication and hard work that is obvious in every aspect of sailthecanaries. Alex and clive and their hand picked instructors deliver with charm and expertise every step of the way. An excellent school!!

Sail the canaries is one of those unique companies where you genuinely feel like part of the family. I will definitely be back!

I have sailed with Clive many times. What sticks in my mind, however, was the time I introduced my ‘new’ family – two indifferent teenagers and a very nervous wife – to sailing. Not only did Clive’s relaxed demeanour put them totally at ease, (our first outing was into a 25kt+ wind acceleration zone) his clear explanations of the physics and mechanics of a heeling deck, using the wind correctly and showing what happens if you just let go of everything, also made them feel safe by understanding what was happening. He also makes it fun – in the space of a few days he turned two very dis-interested youngsters into avid sailors who talked of nothing other than buying a boat and going for Day Skipper for weeks after our return.
