We’ve been instructing yachting, sailing and watersports for over 30 years. Our situation on the River Medina is perfect for beginners and, with easy access to the Solent, intermediate and advanced learners can really stretch themselves. We know the best spots for windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking and our minibuses are ready to take you there!
If you’re looking to keep the kids entertained over the school holidays, UKSA’s fun-filled, on-the-water holiday clubs could be your answer. Offering multi-activity camps, fun days and RYA-accredited dinghy sailing, there is something for all. Programmes are available for children aged 6+.
