Knowledge to students. She joined our team in 2019.

At Torbay Sea School, we pride ourselves on providing a friendly and welcoming environment for all students. Our instructors are highly experienced and passionate about sailing, powerboating, and personal watercraft. We believe in hands-on learning and ensuring that our students feel comfortable and confident using their own vessels.

We offer a wide range of RYA courses, from beginner to expert level, catering to individuals with varying levels of experience. Whether you're looking to gain your first sailing qualification or advance to a Yachtmaster level, we have the courses to suit your needs. Our courses include sailing, powerboating, personal watercraft, shore-based training, and motor courses.

In addition to our regular courses, we also offer own boat tuition. This option allows students to receive personalised instruction on their own boats, in familiar local waters. Our instructors will work closely with you to ensure that you feel confident and competent using your own vessel.

Torbay Sea School is also proud to have trained many RYA Instructors who have gone on to instruct with us, other RYA training centres, or as freelance instructors. We offer instructor training programmes for those interested in pursuing a career in sailing instruction.

For those looking to fast-track their sailing qualifications, we offer fast-track courses and mile-builders. Miles can be accumulated over a series of days or in one larger trip, depending on availability.

Conveniently located at Unit 7, Brixham Marina, on Berry Head Road in Brixham, Devon, our training centre provides easy access to the stunning coastal waters of South Devon. With our picturesque surroundings, experienced instructors, and comprehensive range of courses, we aim to provide our students with a memorable and fulfilling learning experience.
