Welcome.

Christchurch Yachting is a RYA sailing school, and yacht charter operator based in Christchurch Harbour in Dorset on the south coast of England, located between the Solent and Poole harbour. We provide sailing courses, sailing holidays and cruises, and yacht charter with or without a skipper. Also sailing experience gift vouchers.

"Our aim is to give you a personalised service dedicated to meeting your requirements.
We want you to want to come back!"
And lots of people DO come back! - we dont advertise, as most of our customers are repeat bookings or word of mouth.

Sailing courses for 2010
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced sailor, we have a sailing course to suit you.
We limit the number of students to 4 on our RYA sailing courses which gives more instruction time per student, so for example on the Day Skipper course you will have more time to practice skippering, and more personal instruction from the instructor, and on the Competent Crew course you will have more time crewing and personal tuition from the instructor.
We are an RYA Recognised Training Centre and offer the following RYA sail cruising courses:
  • RYA Day Skipper*
  • RYA Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster®*
  • CEVNI (inland waterways certificate)
  • RYA Diesel engine maintenance course
  • RYA First Aid.
  • *Available as a classroom course based at Christchurch or as a correspondence course.
