    Intense but thoroughly enjoyable!
    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.
    Thank you! Thanks for taking the time to write us a review, much appreciated. I will pass on the lovely feedback to the instructors. Please let us know if you need any further help or training. Kind regards Tracey and Team

    Super powerboat 2 course
    Very professionally run course with 3 students to 1 instructor. Some theory but much of it whilst on the rib. Excellent equipment. Serious instruction that was also great fun. Great to be doing some learning as well as being on the water in the most beautiful area imaginable. I’m 75 but enjoying the learning experience.
    Hello Barrie, thanks for the lovely review. Really glad you enjoyed it so much. Always lovely to see you. Sorry that you have now sold your boat, I think you need to buy another one! Hope to see you again soon. Tracey and Team.

    Excellent VHF course
    Recently did the VHF course with theses guys. A very intense day, which packed in a lot of learning. Excellent tutor - helpful and very knowledgeable. Classroom set up for 6 people just right, with plenty of radio practice. Felt a bit nerve wracking when the independent examiner arrived, but we were well prepared. Advice about the pre-reading for the course was invaluable.
    Hello Lynda, thanks very much for your lovely review, yes it is an intense day, 7 hours of training to fit in plus breaks! Well done though. Hope to see you on the water. I'll pass the feedback onto our instructors. Please let us know if you require any further training or advice on anything. Thanks again Tracey and Team

    Thoroughly recommend
    Excellent tuition. Friendly staff who made you feel very welcome. The course tutor was extremely knowledgeable and went out of their way to help everyone on the course as a collective and on a personal basis to get the most out of the course. Would thoroughly recommend
    Thank you so much Mark for this lovely review, really appreciated. Really glad you enjoyed your Level 2 sailing course so much. I will pass this feedback on to Vicky. Hope to see you for your Level 3?! Thanks again Tracey and Team

    Excellent RYA Training Course
    A really top rate power boat and sailing school. I did the RYA Safety Boat course. Very impressed with the quality of the instructor, the thoroughness of the training and the different boats we used. A highly recommended RYA training centre.
    Hello Oliver, thanks so much, it was really nice to meet you and glad that you enjoyed the training so much. I hope you can help out at your local club now. Please let us know if we can help with any further advice or training. Kind regards Tracey and Team

    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!

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.

We had an amazing time on our 1/2 day sailing lesson. We were a challenging group with my eldest being autistic, my littlest has ocular albinism and I have Fibromyalgia so movement and pain and effect what I can do let alone my ability to get into a boat.

My 10 yr old was always going to be agitated because this was a new experience but the instructor was so good at engaging with him and getting him involved so he quickly relaxed

My 8 yr was crazy excited to do this and giggled the whole time about how this was the best day of his life. He wants to take up lessons here at home now as well.

Basically the lesson was so much fun, they were so accomodating to our needs, we learnt loads and the boys felt it was the highlight of the holiday.
