    Fun on the Carrick Roads
    Level 2 Powerboat course at Mylor Yacht Club near Falmouth was fantastic, Vicky the instructor was excellent and had so much time for us all . Having tried this course before on the Solent this was on a different level . Thanks Vicky and Mylor , licence completed ! PS Couldn't see out of windscreen with my sunglasses, only negative
    So sorry for the delay in responding to this review, technical problems with TripAdvisor! Thank you for your review, much appreciated. Glad you had a good time with Vicky. Yes the visor is tinted for the sun and is very useful when sunny but obviously we don't get much of that in October! I will pass on the lovely feedback to Vicky. Please let us know if we can help in any other way with any training or advice.

    Powerboat Level 2 course
    We have just completed a powerboat level 2 course at the Mylor Sailing School, brilliantly organised by the owner Tracey. We had a fantastic instructor called Joe. The course was taught very clearly by Joe-. He explained everything very carefully, making sure we understood what he was saying and doing, and that we were competent at each part of the course, both on and off the water. He was very patient with us and we practised all the boat manoeuvres until we felt confident in our abilities. An invaluable experience- we learnt so much and are very grateful to Tracey and Joe. We would highly recommend the Mylor Sailing School.
    So sorry for the delay in responding to this review, technical problems with TripAdvisor! Thank you Tamsin, so much for this lovely review. It was a pleasure to teach you both. I will pass on to Joe. Please let us know if you need any further advice or training. We also do refreshers! I hope the new house goes well!

    Magic Mylor Sailing School
    Did a Powerboat 2 course with the wonderful Karen and Kate at Mylor Sailing School. Just a great two days fun learning with first class equipment that was brilliant fun. They also run sailing opportunities for kids and adults with additional support needs. The joy on the faces of the people after they had come back onto land was a beautiful thing. Thanks Karen, Kate and Tracey.
    Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed your training with us and had such a good time. I will pass this on to Karen and Kate. Yes that is our Sailability project, we offer sailing and powerboating for any physical needs or learning difficulties. It is hugely popular! Please let us know if you need any further advice or training, we also do refreshers and I think you've spoken to the boat hire about their RIB club. Perfect! Thanks again Tracey and Team

    RYA2 Powerboat course
    I had an excellent two day RYA2 powerboat course. The two instructors Ian and Katie were professional and fun. The majority of the time was spent on the water, which was a plus that I was not expecting. All in all great experience and high and recommended. all helped by the most amazing weather.
    Hello Peter, thanks very much for your lovely review. I'm glad that you enjoyed your training course so much. You were all a pleasure to teach. Please let us know if you need any further advise. Regards Tracey and Team

    Highly recommend with excellent staff and knowledge
    Highly recommend for any boating courses or advice. Staff couldn’t be more helpful! Lovely location in Mylor and if doing a course includes a carpark pass. We last year done some sailing training and had such a good time we decided to return this year! Completed our powerboat 2 course with Vicky who was an excellent instructor. Goes through things in great detail and happy to answer any questions. Will be recommending to our family and friends and be returning to complete more courses. Thanks to all at Mylor sailing school!
    Hello! Thanks so much for your lovely review and taking the time to write this. I'm so glad that you have enjoyed your experiences and training with us so much. No one likes paying for parking! I will pass on to Vicky. Thanks again and please let us know if you want to come for more training! We also do refreshers. Kind regards Tracey and Team

    From fear to excitement!
    Mylor Sailing school is top notch. Our instructor Katy was so friendly and helpful, encouraging but not pushy. This was very important as our adult son who has autism has had a fear and anxiety of getting on a boat. But yesterday he walked right onto the Hawk and it seemed as if he had no fear. Katy let him know it was up to him how much of the actual sailing he did. By the end he asked if he could steer. He has not stopped talking about how he wants to sail again. Thank you Katy and Mylor Sailing school.
    Thanks so much for your lovely review, I'm so pleased that it all went well with the sailing and the fear. Please let us know when you would like to come again! Thanks again Kind regards Tracey and Team

    We smashed it!
    I completed my RYA Level 1 Start Sailing course last week - 11 and 12 June 2024. I found everyone at Mylor Sailing School to be very welcoming and in particular my Tutor Oscar who instructed me through the basics of sailing. He did this in a very professional manner. With Oscar's help 'we smashed it!' The school are lucky to have him as a member of the team. Many thanks for a most enjoyable two days.
    Thank you so much for your lovely review! You had great sailing conditions for your Level 1 and did so well! I will pass on the lovely feedback to Oscar. Please let us know when you are ready to do your Level 2! Thanks again Tracey and Team

    A fantastic sailing school.
    I decided to do my RYA sailing levels 1 &2 at Mylor Sailing School after missing out on a spot at a lower cost alternative. However, I would not look at any other sailing schools in the future! The staff were so friendly and professional, that it wasn't before long that I felt like part of the team. My chosen course was 5 days long which had a wide range of weather conditions. Oscar's (my instructor's) clear, calm and knowledgeable advice gave me the confidence to enjoy even the strong gusty wind conditions. While his expert instruction enabled us to finish the required components of the course a day early, enabling the final day to be used to compound our learning. We also had a chance to experience a small taster of the more nuanced skills we could develop as we continue to sail. There is a reason why Mylor Sailing School has such a high reputation in the area.
    Hello Josh, thanks so much for your lovely and detailed review this is really appreciated. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your sailing course with us so much. You really did have a great week of wind and weather. I will pass on the lovely feedback to Oscar. Please let us know when you are ready for your Level 3! Enjoy your new skills and qualifications. Thanks again Tracey and Team

    Excellent sailing tuition!
    Just completed the RYA level 1 and 2 course. It has been simply the best week! I loved every day and didn’t want it to end today. There were lovely people in my group. Tracey runs an excellent and very friendly sailing school. Oscar is a fabulous instructor……so calm, patient and experienced. I most definitely want to book level 3. Cannot recommend the sailing tuition and experience highly enough! Thankyou Tracey and Oscar x
    Hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this lovely review. You had such a great week with good wind! I will pass on the feedback to Oscar. We run the Level 3 quite regularly so just get in touch or check the availability online if required. Thanks again Tracey and Team

We booked the 2-day dinghy sailing course for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Absolutely faultless from start to finish. Lovely location. Nice new boats which were v forgiving and safe. Good mix of practical and theory. Special mention to instructor Vicky who was v patient with the 2 the boys (and the hire boats). Thank you. We’ll be back.

I have been pleased to return to MSC for some sailing refresher sessions every year for the last six years. Tracey and her staff have been unfailingly friendly, skilled and helpful and concerned to meet our needs - including scrupulous attention to health and safety. Sessions have been enjoyable and fun whilst maintaining a focus on sharpening and improving our skills.
This year was no different - apart from the fact that I took along my daughter and her partner - who came away with a desire to return for more of the same!

This is the second year we have visited Mylor Sailing School - we will be back!

A great way to spend the jubilee bank holiday weekend. Three days of sailing lessons for our family of 5.

Our experienced instructor Ian easily managed the varying levels of skill and confidence between our 12 year old, 10 year old and 8 year old.

On the day the wind was too strong Ian took us out in a larger keel boat altogether
So we didn’t miss out on a day on the water.

The booking process was seamless with Tracey available to answer any questions.

I highly recommend Mylor Sailing School to anyone looking for a sailing course in beautiful surroundings or anyone looking for an activity for the whole family to learn and enjoy together.

My second visit here to do my two day RYA L3 course. And the team at MS&PS were as friendly and helpful as ever. My L1 (here in 2020) and L3 courses were both 1-2-1 so I had plenty of attention from the instructor. The individual attention was certainly helpful. They have plenty of dinghies which you can use (I used a Fusion and a RS Quest - double hander). I came away after two days feeling much more confident about my sailing abilities, especially in gusts. I’m hoping to return next year to try keelboats.

While there are, of course, plenty of sailing schools throughout the UK, the location (what’s not to like about the bay?!) and the staff at MS&PS are top notch and Tracey makes booking and paying so easy.

Highly recommended.

Just finished a few amazing days sailing at Mylor with my instructor David Scott - former World Champion. He has got me to the next level in super quick time with a bespoke course and no nonsense expert coaching and tuition - focusing on just what I needed.
Its been fun, on the final afternoon we sailed down to Falmouth with a fusion sailboat and back upwind under a strong breeze.
Meanwhile my two children aged 11 and 13 were out in their Laser Pico's doing their level 1 and 2 RYA certification. The whole thing has super tight organisation and planning from Tracey, all equipment/clothing included, free parking, all under the backdrop of great views of the Fal estuary...

I would highly recommend Mylor Sailing and Powerboat School!

My husband and I recently took the 2 day Powerboat Level 2 Course. Joe our instructor was incredibly friendly and fun to be with.
But most importantly, his teaching technique was simply brilliant!

Equally our 20 year old son whom took his Level 2 at the age of 14, took a refresher course with Joe. This inspired him to have now signed up for the RYA Safety Boat Rescue Course in June.

Just a quick note to say thanks to the guys at Mylor Sailing School. Tracy made it easy to get involved, easy going, friendly and well organised. Just like the last reviewer I have just spent 2 days sailing with Scotty while my wife and kids have done level 1 with Charlotte. Thanks Charlotte for your patience and that everlasting smile, you've earned your money this week! Meanwhile I've had a blast, Scotty is able to tailor your time, we have explored the estuary, had a guided tour of local points of interest, spent a good few hrs working on sailing well on all the points of sailing, practiced boat handling and seaman ship in practical situations, learned about the bouys and tides, and even had a bit of race coaching! Spot on fella, cheers. Send her on!

I took the RYA Powerboat level 2 course at this school. Classroom and practical work well taught by a highly competent instructor: but the true pleasure is being out on the water in such a beautiful setting. Lovely small marina with a café and a pub: woods coming down to the water: and the contrast of rivers and creeks with the dramatic harbour of Falmouth. Highly recommended.

The VHF SRC course was intense, enjoyable, pertinent and very professionally delivered by an experienced and entertaining trainer. She held our interest throughout the long day and made sure we all had a good understanding of all parts of the course before we took - and passed! - the exam. I will be recommending! Brilliant. Thank you.
