Learn to sail with our RYA sailing school

Poros Yachting Academy, our sailing school, is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised sail training school offering both RYA and non-RYA sail training courses.

Come and enjoy learning to sail the crystal clear waters of the Aegean and enjoy the warmth of the Greek sun & hospitality.

We are currently not taking bookings for RYA courses, pending the appointment of a new chief instructor. Feel free ask for any information you may need and if you like we will contact you as soon as we are ready to take your booking

You have probably arrived here because you have decided you would like to start sailing or want to progress to a higher sailing qualification and need to find out how the courses are structured and how you may book a sail training course.

If you’re not sure where to start, then the RYA ‘Competent Crew’ course is a good starting point. The course lasts a week and gives you an all-round grounding in how to sail a yacht. For full details of the various courses and how they relate to each other, please refer to our RYA Sailing course structure page, but please remember, we’re always happy to discuss your particular interests & requirements.

Poros Yachting Academy - an RYA recognised training centre

Greek Sails offer sail training at our own sailing school, Poros Yachting Academy, which is a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sail training centre. The RYA is one of the foremost sail training organisations in the world and RYA sailing qualifications are recognised & accepted by yacht charter companies all over the world.

The RYA provides a range of courses starting with the aptly named ‘Start yachting’ course, right up to the ‘Yachtmaster Ocean’ qualification that qualifies you to skipper a vessel of up to 200 gross tonnes anywhere in the world! The training includes both theory & practical courses and for the higher qualifications, independent examination.
