Our Ofsted Registered Holiday Activities are some of the most popular children’s holiday activities locally. Our action packed programmes are full of fun, enjoyment and learning – and most follow the highly regarded RYA Youth Sailing Scheme.
Our Holiday Activities are suitable for 8-16 year olds from all abilities. So whether you’re a beginner or advanced… or just looking to have some fun, you can get out on the water at Southampton Water Activities Centre!
As an RYA (Royal Yachting Assosiation) Training Centre, our Holiday Activities follow the RYA Youth National Sailing Scheme – because we know that having fun, making incredible memories and learning a variety of life-long skills along the way is so important.
Join us (and hundreds of others each year!) in learning the ropes with our fun-filled week of basic sailing for children aged 8 and above.
No experience needed – we’ll start at the very beginning and ensure your child enjoys a new skillset for life!
We aim to cover the RYA Stage 1 and 2 syllabus and issue their certificates over the course of the week.
Practising your sailing skills regularly is the key – we call this ‘Tiller Time’!
If your children haven’t been afloat in a while, if it’s been about a year (or more) since their last RYA course or if you want them to simply get out, have fun and build their confidence, we highly recommend this week long activity.
Our Improver Sailing Week still follows all RYA teaching practises and therefore children can work towards, and achieve, their RYA Youth Sailing Scheme Qualifications.
This activity is suitable for those aged 8 years+ who already hold their RYA Youth Stage 2 certificate.
This is our next step for young sailors ages 8 and above who have achieved their RYA Stage 2 and want to progress on to the next level!
Our friendly team of instructors will ensure children receive a refresher of skills over 5-days, whilst working towards their RYA Stage 3.
This is the perfect activity week for children who have sailed since their Active Sail Beginner week. If your children are a little rusty or not been afloat for 12 months, we’d recommend checking out our Improver Sailing Week.
Our week-long RYA Stage 4 course is perfect for sailors aged 8 and above who have already achieved their Stage 3 certificate.
Our purpose built RYA Training Centre means children will sail in a range of boats and practice skills in double-handed dinghies, working towards their RYA Stage 4 certificate.
This is the perfect activity week for children who have sailed since their RYA Stage 3 Sailing Week. If your children are a little rusty or not been afloat for 12 months, we’d recommend checking out our Improver Sailing Week.
If your kids have got this far – they’ve certainly caught the bug!
Each year we deliver a variety of the RYA Advanced Sailing Modules for Youth Sailors.
These include; Seamanship Skills, Sailing with Spinnakers, Performance Sailing, Day Sailing, Start Racing and Intermediate Racing.
