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.
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!
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 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.
