Rated 4.93/5 by 3 students
Hi, I'm Matt from Tortola and i would love to welcome you down to the BVI for you to learn how to sail around these beautiful islands. Whilst learning to sail is the reason you will be here, we also make sure we stop off for lunch at one of the amazing snorkelling spots most days and every evening is spent at an anchorage in a different bay. We provide training on keelboats, sailing yachts, power yachts, catamarans & large rigid inflatables. I'm also a PADI Dive Master so if we have time we can always schedule a dive!

Tortola Sailing and Sights is one of the best trainings I've even done. This includes any of my college programs. Even though we(my wife and I) sail a few times per week, I was very nervous in the beginning of the practical training and assessment but by day 3 the trainers elevated my confidence and abilities considerably. They reassured me that their interest was not to fail me, but to make certain i am a very confident and capable sailor, and can leave port and return home safely. I've been an active sailor for over four years now, but discovering the NauticEd online training has made my wife and I resident experts at our yacht club. We now train sailors(on theory) with decades of sailing experience... LOL! Who knew?... Our trainers Matt Talmage and Paul Chedd are incredibly knowledgeable sailors and great guys. We learned so much. I would recommend them to anyone interested in learning from the best. Looking forward to seeing them out on the water
