Aldeburgh Yacht Club is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised training centre running courses for every level from beginner to expert, including power and safety boating and first aid.

Dinghy Sailing Courses

Our courses and programmes can take you from never having stepped foot in a sailing dinghy to being self sufficient in challenging conditions and planning exciting adventures on the water or honing your racing skills at a regional level.

Powerboating Courses

Powerboating is an excellent way to explore the water without being at the mercy of the wind. Whether in a fast RIB or more leisurely launch, we can support those wanting to consolidate or formalise their existing skills and those with no prior experience behind the controls to be confident that they can deal with any situation they may face.

Courses

Shore Based Courses

Developing skills on the water is the best way to gain essential skills, but dry land is also a valuable setting to learn other important skills to reinforce our resilience in challenging situations and conditions.

Courses

Instructor Training

Sharing knowledge, experience and wisdom in a manner that inspires others to try new things and expand their comfort zone keeps the sport vibrant and healthy. Becoming an instructor can offer fantastic employment opportunities for young people and equally provide an engaging and meaningful endeavour for anyone looking to fill any free time.

Courses

Volunteering

What better setting could there be to support a community, give back to other club members, take advantage of an ‘Employer Supported Volunteering’ Scheme, get a taste for instructing or develop newly acquired skills. There are volunteering opportunities on the water or on land within the club and through our local outreach partner, The Schools Sailing Trust.

Race Training

Having consolidated the core skills, racing is an excellent way to drive forward your understanding of sailing and provide long-term (and often life-long) direction to your personal sailing. We offer short courses for all ages in the summer and coaching programmes all-season for junior and youth sailors.

Private Lessons

Whether you want to arrange a course outside of our scheduled programme, focus on a particular skill, get back into the rhythm of everything before the season, arrange a taster session or recap skills before a course we can support all ages, abilities and objectives in dinghies and powerboats.
