"Was an awesome expirience with my DAY Skipper, 5 days of sun, fun and learning in the confortoble and nice Marina of Portimao. Our instructor Steve was very calm and easygoing with a lot of expirience, was easy to learn from him."

"What an EXCELLENT trip!! Just finished a 5 day RYA Competent Crew sailing course and it was excellent. Mark is a very good and patient teacher and a really nice guy as well!. Starting out as a total novice, there's a lot to learn, but Mark talked us through the theory and practical aspects and made it really enjoyable.

"Excellent Day Skipper Course. We had long talked about completing our day skippers qualification. We decided to explore the Algarve as an option with some tidal influence and were lucky to find Learn2Sail. We couldn't have had a better instructor than Dave"
