I was very happy with my experience of the Sea Safety and Survival at Sea course. Neil is a knowledgeable and approachable teacher. He helped to make the content relevant, interesting and memorable. Both the theory component and the practical activities were very useful. I highly recommend this course to anyone who sails on a regular basis, not just for those who are looking to go offshore. Even the most experienced sailors in the room noted that they had learnt valuable information.

They are not only great teachers who are passionate about their subject, but have clearly thought about what works, what doesn't and how to do things better and safer. Really helps you think about how to organise and manage your own boat and crew.
