Arrival

By completing this course, it will be possible to shorten your training time to practical training on your first afternoon.

Arrival

Your expected arrival time will be on your booking confirmation email. If this time is not possible for you, please contact us with an alternative time and we will do our best to accommodate.

When your group arrives, please park up and let us know by checking in at the marina office. We will then direct you to your boat so that you can unpack your car. We will also explain where you can leave your car for the duration of the holiday.

Once the skipper is happy at the controls, we will wave you on your way!
