SailWeek Academy prepares the new generation of skippers and hosts by giving them the knowledge and skills necessary for life on board.

Skippers Academy:

This training consists of both theoretical and practical components. The theoretical segment involves in-depth explanations from our instructors, which are subsequently expanded upon during the practical phase. One-on-one instruction ensures that each person has dedicated time with the instructor. This approach allows individuals to address any uncertainties, learn valuable tips and tricks, and receive feedback until they are fully prepared to assume complete control.

Host Academy:

This training will be split into two key components, host skills and yachting skills. It will build on current culinary skills, teaching you how to tailor it to a yachting environment. In addition, you will learn how to become a competent crew member, allowing you to become confident in assisting the skipper. A dedicated host instructor and sailing instructor will be with you every step of the way ensuring you feel comfortable and prepared for an exciting career ahead.
