Learn to Sail Experience

For those of you who'd like to who'd like to explore the possibility of becoming a sailor, we are offering (free of charge and included in your Exclusive Charter price), the chance to learn the basics of sailing with an experienced sailing instructor, without having to commit to an official sailing course.

We know that not everyone can afford to take the extra time off work, or the extra cost involved in paying for a separate Comp Crew sailing course to the exclusion of a family holiday. Taking us up on this free offer will give you the best of both worlds.

For example, perhaps Mum and Dad would like to explore sailing but the young ones and Aunty Gladys are more happy to relax and swim etc., not a problem, because it's not an official course we can be flexible.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to dip your toe into the world of sailing and to check out if learning to sail is for you, whilst still enjoying a family break.

If after giving it a go, you decide that it's not for you, there's no obligation to continue with the coaching, you can simply relax and take it easy, it's your holiday you choose.

But if you enjoy the experience your on the way toward attaining a skipper license, as the pre course requirement for a Day Skipper course is five days aboard a cruising yacht as an active crew member and 100 nautical miles which you'll definitely exceed with me.

During your week on board Blue Planet, you'll be coached by Captain Rick who has trained countless sailors over the last ten years as an RYA instructor.

Those wishing to take part, will cover the basics of sailing, rope work, basic navigation, and general seamanship, and you'll cover at least 100 miles over 6 days at sea as active crew members, which is the pre-course requirement for the Day Skipper course should you wish to sign up for it at a later date.

All of this whilst visiting beautiful village harbours and bays, and dining at our excellent hand picked Tavernas, interspersed with stop offs for swimming and the odd BBQ on board.

It could be that after an easy-going educational week at sea, you decide that the world of yachting is for you, and are inspired go further with training, you definitely wouldn't be the first, I've seen this life changing affirmation many times.

So go ahead and take us up on this unique free offer and explore the world of sailing in 2025, it could be a life changing opportunity for you!

We had the most amazing adventure this summer. The whole family (myself, my husband and our 10 year old son) loved our week on the water. We thoroughly recommend Captain Rick and Sailblueplanet, magical destinations, expert sailing tuition, our son now knows all the knots and can plot a course! Rick planned our week taking into account not only our preferences as a family, but obviously in tandem with the sailing conditions. Not only does Rick know the most incredible swimming spots and evening restaurants, we also enjoyed a great balance of secluded harbours and those with more to offer of an evening. We cannot wait to return.

This was my fourth sailing holiday with Rick so obviously I am a very satisfied customer. As well as great sailing instruction and a well equipped boat, Rick has a great deal of local knowledge and always finds the best routes to sail and places to moor up/anchor for the night. He also appears to know a lot of people locally so we always get a friendly welcome and great service at local restaurants/bars if we are with him. Highly recommended!

Such an incredible experience! A week is definitely not long enough, too many places to see and things to do to fit in one week, so recommend doing 2 weeks if possible, it will be worth it. We felt at home on the boat and learnt a lot about sailng! Captin Rick is very well known in the area so we always had the best docking spaces and almost felt like locals! We were treated with extra care by the local resturants when they knew with were with Captin Rick. Hopefully not our last trip with sail blue planet. We had loads of fun!

Captain Rick did a great job of gauging the balance, we wanted, between a leisurely holiday experience and informal sailing instruction to get me to day skipper level.He also tailored the overnight stops to the type of locations we preferred, which was a mixture of deserted coves and lively harbours. A truly unique holiday.
