Bisham Abbey Sailing And Navigation School

Booked a BSS inspection for a old boat in very bad condition. Staff very profesional and invested, they helped me through the process to pass the BSS, which wasn't a easy task to do and couldn't do it without their guidance. Totally recommended

Very thorough and well presented services for BSS by Peter May and Boat Handling Helmsman & Commercial Small Passenger Boat training and certification by Guias Hiscox. I highly recommend this company. Stuart Humphreys Leisure Management Plus & exceptional•excursions.

I took the helmsman 2 day course on their barge and loved every minute. Challenging at times but my instructor Bernie was patient and balanced through out the process.

I have just completed the RYA Day skipper theory course at Bisham Abbey Sailing School. It took place in a very pleasant classroom overlooking the Thames, within the beautiful Bisham Abbey grounds. Our instructor Gaius was endlessly patient and encouraging. Always kind, despite my ignorance, ensuring that I completed it successfully. It's quite a lot to get through in the time so my advice would be to read/Familiarise yourself with some of the theory beforehand. I'm sure Gaius would have been...

Have just had a fantastic day with Peter as instructor. He gave me the confidence to navigate our 60 foot wide beam barge through locks on the Thames as well as teaching me to ferry glide into a mooring using wind and stream. Despite strong winds on the day, Peter showed us how our bow thruster was totally unnecessary. I did things with ropes that I didn’t know you could do and the icing on the cake was to see my captain being crew ! Thoroughly recommend the boat experience day. Thank you Peter
