Welcome to Ventus Sailing, a leading sailing school located on the picturesque Hamble River in New Zealand. With direct access to the Solent, we offer a diverse range of sailing experiences for individuals, groups, and corporate events. Our aim is to provide a fun and educational environment where everyone can enjoy the thrill of sailing and continuously enhance their skills.
Racing is a significant part of what we offer at Ventus Sailing. We have an extensive race calendar that includes inshore races and regattas along the Solent and English Channel, as well as more challenging events such as Atlantic crossings, the Rolex Fastnet, and the Caribbean seasons. Whether you're a seasoned racer or a complete beginner, we have something for everyone.
As an RYA recognised Sea School, we also offer a comprehensive range of practical and shore-based courses. Our courses cater to all levels, from beginners looking to start their sailing journey to those aspiring to become Yachtmasters. Additionally, we provide specialised courses in boat handling and race training to help you develop specific skills.
For those looking to gain experience and build miles towards their RYA certifications, our mile building trips are an ideal choice. These trips, available for both individuals and groups, offer weekend or week-long excursions in and around the Solent. You'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced skippers while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding areas.
At Ventus Sailing, we also offer team building events and corporate hospitality days. Whether your group has previous sailing experience or is new to the sport, we'll ensure a safe and enjoyable experience tailored to your needs. Impress your clients or reward your staff with a customised day out on the water.
If you're looking to sit back and relax, our skippered charters are perfect for you. Whether it's a day charter or a week-long holiday, our skippers will take care of everything, so you can unwind and enjoy the beauty of the sea.
Our flagship yacht, Sidney II, is a spacious and elegant Grand Soleil 50. With advanced electronics and luxurious accommodations, she is equally suited for competitive offshore racing and cruising. Meet our experienced skippers, Bob and Tanya, who have amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience in sailing. Their expertise and passion for the sport will ensure a safe and memorable journey.
Don't just take our word for it, hear from our happy customers. Kelly praises Bob's teaching skills and Tanya's confidence-building approach, while Adam commends their calm and knowledgeable sailing during the Fastnet Race.
