Sailing Lessons

[Stortman]

Hi everyone, Have any of you forum members had any experience of sailing lessons in or around the area please. I'm interested in a complete beginners course and would be keen to get feedback (good or bad) on lessons.

Yacht or dinghy sailing?

[Stortman]

I think dinghy to start off with. Just want to try my hand at something different (for me anyway!)

[Lorraine]

Only places I have noticed dinghy sailing is as Jackie says at surf cafe they hire out sailing stuff. In fethiye harbour, I have seen local children out sailing with a safety boat, the sailing club is located by the boat yards at the end and the marina vista hotel. Hope you get sorted, sailing is a fantastic sport.

If you fancy something a bit different and have deep pockets, head over to Göcek.  There's an RYA accredited school who do beginners sailing courses, unfortunately not dinghies though.

Surf Centre is a good place to start. A good qualified teacher, and life jackets are worn . The dinghies are small Laser dinghies but he does or did have small catamarans.

I went a couple of years ago , I cannot remember the cost but it was not expensive.

Dont know about the lasers, but the cats are €180 for six hours including instruction.
