Our commitment to excellence is evident in the unmatched quality of our training experiences, state-of-the-art facilities, seaworthy yachts, and delectable homecooked catering on board our vessels.
As the first Yachtmaster training centre in the world, East Anglian Sea School holds the distinction of being the longest-running institution of its kind. Guided by the third generation of the founding family, our enduring legacy mirrors the longevity of the RYA training programme. Over the past fifty years, our commitment has expanded to encompass a diverse range of maritime pursuits.
