Quaystage Summer Sailing Camps

Our youth sailing summer camps in Greece and the UK offer the ultimate summer adventure for all levels of sailing experience. Led by professional and highly qualified sailing instructors, our programme empowers campers to develop their personal skills while learning to sail and exploring their sailing area – whether this is the turquoise waters and myth-laden archaeological sites of Greece, or the smugglers’ coves and hidden creeks around the Isle of Wight on the English south coast.

Professional Instructors and Personal Development

Our experienced crew on our youth sailing camps will show you everything you need to know, whether you’re an experienced sailor or an absolute beginner. With a maximum of 8 campers per yacht, you’ll receive personalized attention and guidance every step of the way. Our programme focuses on personal development and leadership skills, encouraging campers to take on more responsibility as part of their crew.

Explore and Learn

While learning to sail is at the heart of our youth sailing programmes, there is plenty more to do in our fascinating sailing areas. You’ll go exploring bays and creeks on paddleboards and canoes, hike to breath-taking views, and explore quaint coastal towns. You’ll get close-up with the local marine animals and learn how to protect their vulnerable ecosystems. In Greece, you’ll immerse yourself in the mythology and history which shaped today’s Western civilization. And of course, there will be plenty of time for games, competitions, and relaxing with your crew at the beach or in a natural hot spring.

Internationally Recognized Qualifications

As a recognized RYA Training Centre, we offer the full RYA Yachtmaster training syllabus, and on your Sail Camps, you can work towards internationally recognized sailing qualifications. We are also an Approved Activity Provider for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, offering Gold level DofE Expedition programmes.

Reviews from parents

A big thank you to the staff, my daughter really had a wonderful time! Thanks so much! We literally googled this camp, called, and had a good feeling. Booked it and it was such a lucky shot! She is super enthusiastic about the whole week and staff. Thank you so so much!

Our kids had a fabulous time with Quaystage this summer. They returned home happy, confident and with lots of stories to tell and new friends. The week was a good mixture of learning new skills, experiencing sailing for the first time, enjoying the outdoors and just messing around in the water or playing games on shore. They would love to return next year and hopefully they’ll carry on sailing in the future!

This long trip was really worth it! Simon is enthusiastic about those two weeks on board with you around the Solent and the Isle of Wight. He’s yet looking forward to coming back! It was a wonderful experience. When we listen to him talking about his stay, we wish there would be a sailing camp for recycled teenagers! Thank you to the crew and all of you for your cheerfulness, friendship and inventive spirit!

Brilliant! Our son, 17, had an amazing time. Superb organisation, extremely professional. Young people clearly had lots of fun, organisers were very careful to make the participants fit as best possible (age, goals etc.), loads learnt, great time had. Great communication too, both with parents and kids. Friendly, welcoming, uncomplicated, motivated. Could not be happier, great summer camp for young people. And they even organised splendid weather on the Solent  . Thank-you!
