RYA sailing courses in Greece
Maximum 5 students to 1 instructor, and you will never be asked to share a cabin with a complete stranger.
This course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers.
Learn to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy and assist in all the day to day duties on board.
Thessalia School of Sailing runs the 5 day course from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday as a bonus day to practice your new skills. You will arrive in Volos on Saturday and spend the first night on the boat. We will arrive back in Volos on Friday lunchtime, leaving you free to travel home on Friday or Saturday.
