Individual Participation

Join a Sailing Course — Even on Your Own

You don’t need a group to start your sailing journey. With Saronic Sails RYA Training Center, you can join as an individual and become part of a small, international crew sharing the same passion for sailing.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to advance your skills, our individual participation option allows you to experience structured RYA training while meeting like-minded people and exploring the Saronic Islands. 

 

What This Experience Is

Individual participation means joining a scheduled RYA course on board a fully equipped training yacht.

You’ll train alongside a small group (max 5 students per instructor), ensuring:

  • Personalised instruction
  • Hands-on learning
  • A collaborative and social onboard environment

It’s the perfect balance between professional training and shared adventure.

Available Courses

You can join individually in all main RYA practical courses:
