If the idea of a sailing holiday appeals, but your nautical experience extends no further than the local boating pond, head to Dartmouth for a 2-day RYA Start Sailing course for beginners, sleeping on board. If you've sailed before, brush up your skills with RYA Competent Crew or a more advanced course amongst fellow yachties and expert instructors. 
Recommended company: Devon Sailing
Devon Sailing says
Based on the beautiful coastline of the South Hams (Dartmouth), we provide the full RYA training syllabus and also offer some breathtaking yacht cruising.
Our breaks range from a two-night Start Sailing introductory course for complete beginners, right up to the most advanced RYA courses with the River Dart, Salcombe and Brixham as your training areas.
As well as learning sailing skills, you’ll also meet lots of new people. You can book as a single person, couple, family or group of friends. You’ll sleep on board and learn your new skills hands-on, under the guidance of one of our excellent skipper instructors.
Devon Sailing is not just a school; when you feel competent with your ability, you can be part of the crew and set sail with us. Take a trip around Britain to see the stunning Scottish Hebrides, or navigate away from local waters toFrance, Norway, Spain, the Caribbean, or even the Arctic, Greenland and Baffin Island.
At Devon Sailing we feel passionately about the sea and want to give everyone the chance to spend time seeing dolphins and whales, seals and birds in a noise-free, laid-back yacht with ample living space.
We think that waking up surrounded by water in a remote anchorage and watching the sun rise is one of life’s most fulfilling experiences.
