Aegina is an unspoilt Greek island, less than an hour from Athens by hydrofoil, and the perfect place for you to learn to sail. Obtain your RYA practical sailing certificates whilst sailing the beautiful Greek islands in the sun - the ideal sailing holiday for beginners. Whether you are a complete novice looking to take part in the RYA Competent Crew course or you have some prior sailing experience and are ready for the RYA Day Skipper course, the RYA training centre in Aegina has the right course for you. With year-round availability, you can pick a time to take your course which is most convenient for you.

Singles and couples can book onto the 5-day shared courses which run with up to 5 students sleeping onboard a tuition yacht. Couples and groups can also hire a private instructor and yacht for the week. Students may have different levels of experience and different courses run on the same boat at the same time.

Private tuition is ideal for families who want to get a mixture of training. While adults complete the or RYA Day Skipper course, children over 12 can get their RYA Competent Crew qualification, and younger kids can get involved looking out for wildlife and learning knots.

To ensure success in your RYA Day Skipper qualification you need to have previous experience of chart work, navigation, buoyage, and collision regulations. If you do not have theoretical knowledge, you can take the popular 7 day RYA Essential Navigation + Day Skipper Theory & Practical Combined package. 

RYA courses are offered through RYA Recognised Training centre Aegean Sailing School. The school is run by a team of highly experienced English-speaking instructors, chosen as much for their friendly personalities as their full RYA instructor qualifications.
