•  Do you want to LEARN HOW TO SAIL, or how to skipper a yacht into the sunset? – We have special beginners courses which transform you from a “boat handicap” to a useful member of the crew in just a few days.

•  Would you like to BECOME MORE QUALIFIED, to tackle bigger boats, rougher seas or far off islands? – Check our range of RYA & SAS courses, from Day Skipper up to Yachtmaster Ocean.

•  Do you want to WORK ON YACHTS in places where the jet set spends their holidays & most people can only dream off? – We offer 3 and 7 weeks courses for basic work on charter yachts, or 12 and 17 weeks Yachtmaster programmes for those who want to make a life- or career change.

 •  Do you want us to show you how to PROPERLY HANDLE CATAMARANS instead of painfully figure it out by yourself? – We have special catamaran sailing courses, either on our cats or as Own Boat Tuition.

 •  Would you like to CHILL OUT ON A CRUISE and let us do the work? – Book for a catamaran charter within the Langebaan Lagoon or along the beautiful West Coast.

 

We are a RYA & SAS accredited sail training school based in Langebaan on the West Coast of South Africa, in the only RYA approved waters in SA.

We offer approved RYA and SAS sailing courses, from 2 days “Start Yachting” all the way up to Yachtmaster Ocean, as well as SAS recognised inland waters courses. In addition to the conventional keelboat courses we are the only sailing school in South Africa offering catamaran sail training on our Wildcat 35, or as Own Boat Tuition.

For those who prefer to just enjoy the cruise we also provide bareboat and skippered charters from 2 hours to however long you want to be out there, either on the sheltered waters of the Langebaan Lagoon or along the West Coast.

 All of us at Sail Due South are dedicated to giving the best training and service possible. Being a small school we are committed to individual sailing solutions rather than fitting everybody into a main stream course schedule.
