I really enjoyed Alans style of teaching and felt well supported throughout.

It's been a great course with lots of information covered in one day. Bob was very good at explaining everything in simple terms.

John was great, he made the course accessible and relevant. He covered sensitive topics whilst putting everyone at ease. Thank you very much!

I really enjoyed the course. The instructor, Roger, was very clear and understanding.

We had difficult weather conditions to deal with but Keith made the very best of all opportunities for us to cover the course requirements. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole time and Keith did a great job!

I recently completed my Day Skipper theory and practical with Falmouth School of Sailing, and what a great experience it was! Both courses were not just informative but also incredibly enjoyable. Ian and Keith's passion for life and sailing was contagious, and their expertise made even the trickiest stuff feel like a walk in the park. So, if you're considering any courses with Falmouth School of Sailing, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough! An absolutely fantastic experience!

Excellent balance of explanatory/demonstration training and practical opportunity to practice and learn. Going from zero sailing experience, I now feel very comfortable to crew a sailing yacht alongside a competent skipper.

Great experience all round and we saw wildlife too! Exceeded expectations. We enjoyed being with 2 people on a day skipper course.

Packed so much into the week! Mike was fantastic - overflowoing with knowledge and he has a great/friendly manner. I've learnt so much and have come away feeling confident.

Ian was fantastic and experienced instructor making the course informative, relative and fun.

A very pleasant experience. The instructors training ability and attitude were excellent, especially to myself being the only complete novice on the boat.

Mike is a fantastic trainer! His instruction was comprehensive and he gave us enough rope but never allowed us to get into any really stressful situations.

Really interesting. I liked the hands-on elements. Bob was really knowledgeable, approachable & straightforward.

Really enjoyed it - Keith is clearly an excellent sailor and a really nice guy. The night sail through the fog was brilliant!

I really enjoyed the course and Keith's guidance, patience and enthusiasm. Sailing with a great crew was good fun and really effective. I really appreciate the hands-on experience.

I found the day interesting and feel my knowledge base of zero has considerably rasied. I feel more empowered.

Keith was brilliant - just great, very patient, understanding and encouraging. Thanks so much for everything - I feel much more confident with everything we learnt.

I completed my Day Skipper online theory and 5-day Day Skipper course with FSS and I would like to thank the team for their friendly, helpful and professional support throughout both courses. I especially wish to thank Keith who was our skipper/instructor/assessor on the training yacht. I learned a huge amount from him and really appreciated his knowledge, style, patience and humour!

Michelle was absolutely outstanding over the whole course. Incredibly calm, patient and very imformative. The boat was extremely well stocked and comfortable throughout.

Excellent coaching by Mike. Highly recommended to any first timers wanting to do their RYA Day Skipper. The food was excellent too! An experiemce that won't be forgotten!

Above and beyond expectations. We all had a terrific week and both my brother and friend, who were accompanying me, are now hooked and will be back!

A great course, feeling so much more competent and confident now. Thank you!

Bob was an excellent instructor, patient, calm and brought a wealth of experience and knowledge.

We were a family group of cousins mostly in our 30's and have all thoroughly enjoyed the voyage. Keith was both a calm and highly competent instructor. He was also excellent company and soon became part of the family!

Keith was brilliant - calm, clear instructions, stepping back to let the crew figure things out for themselves. The best instructor I've sailed with by far.

Bob was excellent and made the course brilliant. He was thorough, clear and checked that we understood everything which is exactly what we wanted to ensure that we got the most out of the course.

Excellent training - Jay met the needs of the crew perfectly, he was very encouraging, in fact it was wonderful!

Fantastic course!! Boosted my confidence for my next courses. Thank you.

Mike was great at coaxing the most out of us with the weather/sea that we were working with. He provided lots of useful ways to remember things and was great fun to be with for the week

Instructor highly knowledeable, friendly and above all extremely patient. Thank you Mike!

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the course today and how professional you all came across. I was made to feel welcome from the first minute and the facilities were excellent. Our instructors were extremely good and provided the perfect balance of classroom and practical training, all of which culminated in us all passing the course. All the best for the future and keep the great work up.

Really great week. I appreciated the clear instruction and room to learn/make mistakes. Thanks Jay! Also excellent customer service during the booking process.

Very happy with how the week went. I built confidence day by day thanks to Jays encouragement and calm handling of every situation.

A really great and enjoyable week. Keith's knowledge, enthusiasm and coaching was first rate. The boat was perfect and the whole experience has whetted the appetite for more sailing. Absolutely brilliant!

I had a great week. Thank you to Keith who was an excellent instructor! I would certainly recommend and will be back in the future.

Terrific week with Bob on Chloe Jane last week. Bob’s experience shone through, he was an excellent instructor. It was an honour to be able to tap in to his experience and advice. On top of that he was very good company and I thoroughly enjoyed my week. I would highly recommend Falmouth School of Sailing to anyone thinking of undertaking their Day Skipper course.

Another great course with Bob and Falmouth School of Sailing. I learnt so much and gained so much confidence. Thank you!
