Simon, Keith and Robin are all qualified, commercially endorsed RYA Yachting Instructors who share a passion for yacht cruising and for welcoming people into the fabulous world of sailing. Sailing Vessel 'Wings' is a robust and spacious British built Moody 419. Very professional instruction, clear & concise personable and flexible compared to large corporate operations.
I was a nervous crew member as I'd had a bad experience in Force 6-7 many years ago. Robin has helped me overcome this and I found it amazing what a difference a nicely reefed sail made. His choice of sailing area when we had stronger winds made it all fun. I look forward to sailing again and would hope to do the Day Skipper with him next year.

Buy a personalised voucher for a taster sail, yachting course, or any of our other fun-filled seaborne adventures on the gorgeous Suffolk coastline or beyond. Our sailing vouchers can be used to pay for one of our Midweek Special sailing days, or to offset the cost of any of our courses, charters or cruises.
Can't tell your port from your starboard? Not sure if sailing is for you? Not a problem! We have a short taster programme which will set your sails and start you on your way. Our RYA Start Yachting course is a two-day introduction which will teach you the sailing basics (and probably get you hooked!) in a safe and truly enjoyable way.
Share the cost of sailing with others, and meet new friends with a common interest by joining one of our Day Sails. Enquire about our schedule. You and your family, or maybe a group of friends or colleagues, are keen to become sailing explorers for the day (or half-day). You get to choose the date, the itinerary and, of course, the company!
OK, we're biased. And, yes, we have a vested interest in persuading you that 'Wings' is a fabulous boat. But we really believe she is exactly that, and so does almost everyone who has sailed on her since she joined our business in 2015. She carries all of the life-saving equipment required under MCA regulations (including life-jackets which must be worn underway, an 8 man life-raft, distress flares and VHF radio).

I can not recommend Suffolk Coast sailing highly enough, Simon is an excellent Skipper, instructor and evangelist for all things sailing. The delivery and effectiveness of his training and instruction is of the highest quality, and never do you feel that your questions or enquiries are stupid or pointless, or irrelevant, he takes the time to ensure that you understand the concept, he is a patient and engaging teacher. Wings is a fine vessel and the courses or sailing adventures are wonderful experiences. Take a trip with Simon and Suffolk Coast Sailing, and you will be converted to the wonderful

Completed the Start Yachting course in September and had a fantastic first experience of sailing. The boat is brilliant and very well equipped. Keith is an excellent and incredibly experienced instructor with plenty of patience! It was so nice to have someone take the time to explain everything that he did, why and how (sometimes required more than once!) Very friendly and calm which is great when you're learning the ropes! Would recommend to anyone thinking of getting into sailing. Look forward to doing my Competent Crew next!

Did my RYA Coastal Skipper Practical. I was very impressed with the organisation. The boat was fantastic and the standard of instruction was really excellent. Simon has obviousy been instructing for a long time and his easygoing and calm attitude really made a difference. We had a good mix of crew, from Day Skipper to Competent crew. I've been saling for a number of years and this course really gave me a lot of insight into the practicalities of skippering. Sailing in the Thames Estuary gives you lots of opportunities to put into practical use the theory you worked so hard on. Great course, great
