A learn-to-sail holiday is a perfect opportunity to earn an International Yacht Training  certification that you require to rent a yacht and Skipper it yourself, anywhere in the world. Combining the adventure of exploring Thailands exotic island destinations, its rich Asian culture with a family or group holiday is a hugely rewarding experience. Bonding through learning together, exploring together, and relying on each other, as a Crew, you'll be leaving together with skills and memories that will last a lifetime. Of course, it's not all work and no play, not by any stretch. You're on a yacht in a tropical paradise with family and friends. There's plenty of time to do all those holiday things, snorkelling and exploring tropical reefs bursting with marine life, fine-dine at some of the worlds most exotic resorts or chill to some soft reggae tunes at a beach bar, with an ice-cold beer and the best Phat Thai ever! Of course, there's a lot to learn, and you will need to put in some work each day, but your Instructor is there to teach and guide you and make sure you stay on track to meet the goals you've set.

Courses

Mix and match

We offer a combination of the IYT Crew and IYT Bareboat Skipper courses. You have the flexibility to mix up the courses; for example, if one of you has some sailing experience, they may choose to do only the Bareboat Skipper course. At the same time, others in your group who are new to it all, may decide to do the whole 11 day Zero to Hero. Of course, not everyone needs to take a course, but they'll still be welcome to participate.
