A buddy and I did the Start Sailing course with Southern Yachting Academy - what an experience! Mark was an excellent instructor that effectively taught us the basics of sailing, firstly theory, and then the practical side. We had a fantastic couple of hours on the estuary. It was a day I will remember for a long time, and it has inspired us to rekindle our sailing tradition in our family. Many thanks for teaching and inspiring us!…

Having just completed my coastal skippers training through Southern Yachting Academy in Knysna, I can recommend talking to them about their well structured sailing course. Complete with comprehensive notes and Zoom follow up sessions with Capt Ben, to help you understand any areas of difficulties. There is also full ttaining on their own yacht with a professional skipper on board to show you the techniques and safety requirements to skipper a yacht offshore. Thanks to Mark and his team for the experience.…

I did the day skippers course - fantastic course. Very knowledgeable crowd that are all passionate about what they do. Absolutely blown away by Mark and the team constantly going to extra mile at all times to help out - from lifts to lunch to getting my eye test and photos done. These guys always made an effort to not only make this whole experience educational, but they also made it amazingly enjoyable. Cannot recommend enough!…
