RYA Catamaran Sailing Training in Greece
Experience your RYA training on a catamaran — more space, more comfort, and a different way of sailing.
At Saronic Sails Rya Training centre, you can complete your sailing training on a modern catamaran, combining professional instruction with a premium onboard experience in the Saronic Gulf.
You complete your RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper training on a catamaran instead of a monohull, gaining the same certification while learning how to handle a multihull yacht.
Your qualification remains the same — your experience is completely different.
Why choose a catamaran
Catamarans offer a unique sailing experience that is ideal for many sailors — especially for cruising and chartering.
- More space onboard — ideal for families or groups
- Greater stability — less heeling and more comfort at sea
- Private cabins & comfort — often with ensuite layouts
- Shallow draft — access to more bays and anchorages
- Modern cruising lifestyle — the most popular choice for charters
This is how most people sail on holiday today.
Sailing a catamaran requires different techniques and awareness compared to a monohull.
During your training, you will learn:
- Twin-engine manoeuvring and docking
- Handling a wider boat in marinas

- Plan to charter a catamaran for holidays

- Structured RYA training
- Real sailing in the Saronic Gulf
- Swimming stops and island visits
- Comfortable living onboard
It’s a mix of learning + lifestyle + real cruising.
