PLEASE NOTE:

  • Our fees are all-inclusive and there are NO hidden extras such as VAT, evening meals or fuel surcharges
  • If two students book together the second student will receive a discount of 50% on the above prices, and as all our courses are limited to two students they will have exclusive use of the vessel. This discount makes our fees very competitive with other schools who often have substantially smaller training vessels with more students on board.
