Save yourself TIME & MONEY

Choosing which course to take and what certification to get that will give you both enough knowledge and recognition as well can be very hard when you begin looking for sailing instruction. You can save a lot of time & money if you choose wisely!

Don't spend a fortune on useless courses!

Why us?

Cheap or free courses always give you just about the value as what you pay for them. However even expensive sailing courses often give you so little knowledge that you end up feeling in need for more training before going out on the water on your own.  

I get messages from many people and also hear the same stories in person in marinas all over Europe that they have paid 1000+ dollars to complete their ASA or equivalent sailing courses yet they do not know enough and are scared to leave the marina with their recently purchased boat due to lack of confidence.

The result? Unnecessary extra marina fees ($100/day), more training fees or worse damage repair costs if things go wrong. All while dreaming of anchoring for free in Earth’s most beautiful spots instead.

My goal is to give you enough confidence

Confidence &
value

THE GOAL of this Online Course is to save such costs to people and to provide more value in terms of knowledge as well as finances than what one pays for it.  

CONFIDENCE is your first major milestone in learning to sail and I will do my best to help you achieve this in the shortest time possible.

Testimonial

Past students have this to say about

Full Time Sailor

Through his intensive training, Norbert taught me in a very short period of time the intricacies of sailing, Mediterranean mooring, sail trimming, and much much much more! Even after completing my ASA 104 sailing certification, which qualifies me up 46ft, I didn’t have the practical experience to feel confident to sail. Norbert definitely gave me the practical sailing experience to feel confident to set sail. If someone asked me if I could recommend a sailing instructor, I would have no hesitation in recommending Norbert. He’s honest in his instruction, challenging in his method, and thoughtful in his assessment.
Jack Waldron Bike & Sail Classical
The knowledge and instructions of Norbert where very useful to me, and besides that, it was great fun! My boat was new to me and my sailing capabilities where very rusty. Norbert helped me get acquainted with my boat very quickly and made me feel comfortable sailing my boat! You can really see Norbert’s passion for sailing! Always busy tweeking the sails a little bit better. He is very clear in his instructions and in a pleasant way. The course was great fun! With Norbert you get quality and fun for your money. You will learn sailing quickly and in a very enjoyable way. Go for it!
Michiel Bonnema New Boat Owner
Norbert is like a farmer who takes care about everything on the boat. Norbert has a superb knowledge of sail trim, and let’s you enjoy sailing while learning, and at the same time you get the operational skills and professional cognition. In sailing class with Norbert you will understand that he is a trusted coach and friend, full of passion for sailing.

We have courses at different difficulty levels, so everyone can find their most suitable option.

Beginner courses do NOT require previous experience, intermediate and advanced courses are mainly for those who have spent some time on a boat actively participating in navigational duties. 

We have the online course so that you can prepare in advance for your first ever sailing to make your learning process much easier and faster. 

It depends on many factors: what your goals are, what experience you have, which sailing area of the world you are interested in or live close to etc. 

If you are unsure about which course to choose based on their descriptions, do not hesitate to book your 1:1 SailAway Planning Session with me so I can direct you in the right way

We do provide courses where you can acquire a sailing licence.

However it is not mandatory to take an exam. You can also join us on the course without entering the exam if you only want to practice. 

Some courses are designed for enhancing certain skills and gaining experience and getting a licence is not involved in it. 

Exam options are always stated in the course descriptions.

Absolutely YES! 

There’s nothing like having an arsenal of lessons available to you whenever you want to practice or refresh your dusty skills.

Nobody remembers every single word from a class or a practical course. Often it’s the small details that can save you from a 5 figure damage repair cost or embarrassment in front of others.

These online lessons serve as an excellent supplement and you can watch them anytime & anywhere. 

Furthermore we’ll not only teach you the theory in the online course, but also the practical side of sailing, so you’ll be visually familiar with a boat and its equipment by the time you actually get on one. 

The Full Time Sailor mobile app is available for members only. When you purchase a course you will receive information about downloading and using the app.

The app allows members to easily view all their classes on their phone even if they have no internet connection.

Offline mode will let you watch every important video even in the middle of the sea.

We accept payments via PayLike and Paypal, some of the world’s most trusted payment technologies. They’re completely secure and we don’t store any of your information.

We are extremely confident in our  lessons, so we offer a no-risk 30 day money back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied for any reason just contact us and we will sort it out for you. To improve our sailing courses we would appreciate feedback from you on what we could do better for future courses. 

Note: refunds can take 5-10 business days for the money to reach you (it’s just how the banking system works). We also have to deduct the payment fees from the refund sent to you.

No! We also use Paypal so your payments can come directly from your PayPal account. Also, some debit cards can function as credit cards and we also accept those. We do preefer creditcard payment as it has lower fees than paypal
